Abstract:

A removable steam table pan puller is presented for use in removing pans from a steam table. The pan puller has an inverted U-shaped handle. The bottom of each leg of the handle has a flange attached. These horizontal flanges are perpendicular to the vertical handle and are approximately the same width as the width of the upper lip of a steam table pan. The flanges are approximately 6 to 8 inches long so that they provide a stable base for carrying the pan once it is removed. The flanges also taper downwardly on each end to enable the user of the pan puller to easily slip the puller flanges underneath the lip of a pan on a steam table. The removable handles come in varying sizes depending upon the size of the pans on the steam table. The pan puller may be used to either pull pans from the steam table or to transport pans from the kitchen to the steam table.
