Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1>

Disposable cooking liner This invention relates to cooking. It helps contain liquids including fat and meat juices in a liner to make it easier, cleaner and more convenient to dispose such waste. Such liners are not yet on the market, instead people use inconvenient, dirty, messy ways to dispose liquids such as :- 1. Pouring such liquids into sink, not a good idea, it will eventually block the sink.

2. Pouring such liquids into a cup. By this time there is fat and meat juices in the pan, cup and probably all over the work surface.

3. Pouring such liquids directly into bin, when you go to empty the bin there will be liquids dripping out of the bin liner onto the floor. Now both bin and floor need cleaning.

4. Placing foil on the bottom of the pan. The problem with foil is that it will not cover the sides of the pan. It is also not leak proof and has no drawstring to close liquids within the foil.

The objective of this invention is to provide people with a clean, convenient, simple way to dispose liquids.

Accordingly, this invention provides a sheet of material with integral drawstring.

Preferably the disposable cooking liner is made from a soft, strong, leak proof material, of which is able to be put into the oven and microwave. Its drawstring will be enclosed around the perimeter of the sheet of material. The drawstring will also have to be strong and able to go in both oven and microwave.

A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing in which :-
