Abstract: A liquid feeding device for roasting or stewing pots is described which permits a supply of liquid, and specifically water, to be continuously added to the interior of the pot to compensate for liquids lost by evaporation. The liquid feeding device is in the form of a liquid reservoir mounted on the cover of the pot, the reservoir having a porous, liquid permeable bottom wall through which the liquid is stored in the reservoir may slowly be filtered. The reservoir, which may be made entirely from a porous surrounding-type material, is advantageously provided with impermeable coatings on the side walls thereof to limit the flow of water into the cooking container through the bottom wall thereof. Advantageously, an array of nipples are provided on the under surface of the reservoir to assure a uniform distribution of liquid flow.
