Abstract: A disposable cooking pan is provided which is formed from a single sheet of thin gauge metal. The pan includes a bottom panel which is delimited by a continuous upwardly and outwardly extending wall panel. Extending laterally outwardly from the upper edge portion of the wall panel is a continuous rim. The rim includes a planar outwardly extending inner section and a bead-like outer section which encompasses a multilateral area including the inner section. Relatively spaced, enlarged areas are formed in the rim inner section and are disposed adjacent portions of the rim outer section defining corners in the multilateral areas. Elongated strengthening ribs are provided in the enlarged areas of the rim inner section and extend from adjacent the rim outer section to the upper edge portion of the wall panel.
