A grill surface or pan provide for the removal of fats and oils by
supporting the foodstuffs on ribs that slope downward such that the
intervening regions form channels for transporting fluids to the edge of
the pan, and away from the cooking food stuffs. The draining channels are
interrupted by intervening ribs of a lower height than the first set of
foodstuff supporting ribs. The intervening ribs have a series of slits or
holes formed in there apex to enable the direct cooking of the foodstuff
by radiant heat from a flame or heating source disposed underneath the
grill surface. The grill surface may be combined in a pan that provides a
peripheral fluid collecting channels at the termination or junction of
the draining channels disposed between the sets of rib food supporting
and slotted or perforated ribs.
