As a. Fig. 281—Double-bottomed broiling pan rule the fat is overheated and burns fiercely, and many efforts toput it out, when taken from the oven, fail. The accompanying illustration shows a very simple way toavoid this. In the pan used for broiling is placed a perforatedfalse bottom, made out of black iron of any thickness. Theedges are turned down, say one quarter of an inch, forming sup-ports for the bottom. This false bottom should be nearly of thesame size as the pan. On large pans, of course, the bottom should 340 HANDY MAN S WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY be braced with strips of iron, to prevent warping from the heat. In service the suet melts, and runs down through the perfora-tions to the bottom of the pan. No matter how hot the fire, thesuet will not catch fire, as it is protected from the flames by theperforated bottom which acts like the screen of a miners bottom can easily be removed and cleaned and the suet inthe pan be emptied out.
