    Abstract: A liquid-draining frying pan device is provided. The device is comprised of a pan configured to facilitate the safe and efficient draining of cooking liquids while retaining food within the pan body. The device comprises a pan body that includes a handle affixed to the pan and which may include textured surfaces, and non-slip grip areas to improve control. The upper perimeter of the pan body is comprised of a lip which may be curved or angled inward to function as a food-retention ledge. More specifically, this lip directs liquid toward one or more funnels integrated into the outer wall of the pan, each having an interior opening beneath the lip and an exterior outlet. The funnels may be equipped with removable caps and strainer inserts to control liquid flow and prevent food escape. A lid is configured to attach to the pan body.
