Abstract: A pan holder for supporting batter-dipping pans from the front edge of a restaurant type fryer, especially a flat bottom type fryer with a raised front edge. The pan holder comprises a frame with an opening for receiving the batter-dipping pan and supporting the upper flange of the pan, a rear hook edge configured to mate with the front raised edge of the fryer, and side brace panels for engaging the front face of the fryer. The holder includes finger holes in both sides of the frame, extending beyond the pan flange so that the pan can be lifted evenly out of the frame; utensil holders formed in the side brace panels; and a perforated and/or discontinuous rear hook edge configured to reduce heat transfer and increase drainage of hot oil.
