ABSTRACT:
A vessel has a side wall, a rim extending about the side wall defining a top opening of the vessel, and an abutment shoulder is provided adjacent the rim. A lid is provided covering the top opening to close the vessel. A straining skirt extends about and depends from the lid. The skirt has a terminal edge region spaced from the lid and at least one perforated straining zone through which vessel contents can be strained from the vessel. When the lid closes the vessel, the straining skirt is spaced inwardly of the vessel side wall and the lid can be lifted clear to open the vessel without interfering engagement between the straining skirt and vessel. Additionally, the lid can be pivoted away from the vessel to partially open the vessel by pivoting the lid immediately adjacent the abutment shoulder and across from the straining zone with the rim acting as a fulcrum. That pivoting causes the straining zone to move out of the vessel and the terminal edge region to interferingly engage the vessel side wall so that the lid and straining skirt are jammed between the shoulder and side wall. This positively holds the lid in a position partially opening the vessel so that the vessel together with the lid and straining skirt can be tilted to strain vessel contents through the straining zone.
