On this day in 1904 John H. Hayes was granted the patent for VEGETABLE COOKER. U.S. Patent No. 751,640.
This invention relates to cooking utensils and the like, and one of the primary objects thereof is to provide a handle which may be normally retracted within the receptacle, but as occasion may demand be extended and swung to one side, so that the open end of the receptacle will be unobstructed.
A further object is to provide a cover for the receptacle which is carried by the handle and mounted so that the movement of the cover will be coincident with the movement of the handle.
