Pouring Made E-Z

E-Z is a flap kinda attachment that you slip on the rim of a wide-mouthed pot or shallow pans so that you can pour the liquid contents into a bowl or utensil without spilling over. I can very well see myself using this aid when I try and pour out oil from my kadhai after a batch of deep frying. For some odd reason skillets, shallow pans and the more traditional kadhai & wok don’t have that required nip-in-the-mouth for pouring out hot liquids sans spills. It’s almost as if their design-evolution has stagnated….maybe this can inspire one of you to recreate a new design!
