Abstract
Abstract An upwardly open cylindrical container is provided with a bottom wall spaced upwardly from the lowermost edge of its wall. A support, having an annular groove nesting the wall of the lower end portion of the container, shields the bottom thereof. An annular flange, forming the upward limit of the container, centrally supports a foraminated lid and hopper permitting the escape of steam and preventing fluid boilover.
