drip pans

Beneath the burners

Drip pans are shallow containers placed beneath something to catch liquid runoff.

Under a roasting meat, a drip pan collects fat and juices.

Beneath an air conditioner or refrigerator, it catches condensation.

Under a car engine, it prevents oil from staining the garage floor.

The term covers any pan whose purpose is catching drips rather than cooking.
