The present invention relates to improvements in receptacles and has reference more particularly to a container for use in pickling food products such as vegetables, meats. Q

5 7 One of the important objects of the present invention is to provide'a'pickling recep-.- tacle that includes a means for facilitating the draining of theliquid whereby the food products undergoing the pickling action may 10 be removed fr-om'the receptacle withoutre moving the brine or chemically'itreated liquidwith'such products. i

Still afurther object is to provide a pickling receptacle of the above mentioned character Wliichis simple in constructiominexpensive, strong and durable andfurther well adapted to the purposes for which it is de- Q signed; y p Other objects and'advantages Will become ii fiapparent during the course of the following description. 1 v

'In, the drawing whereinforthe purpose of illustration is shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 1 desig nates a substantialy cylindrical main receptacle that maybe constructed of stoneware,

The pickling fluid isthen poured into the main receptacle and by reason of the drain holes 2, the liquid will enter. theauxiliary receptacle 3 so that the same level will be present in both re-- ceptacles. The pickling liquid can be drained andafter'all 6 the liquid has been drained, the pickled products can be readily and easily removed from the main receptacle after 'from the "receptacles by open1ngthe cock'9 It Willlthus'be seen claims; 7' v I 1 m-Having thusde'scribed my invention,- What which the pickling liquid canagain be used for further pickling purposes.
