A food-cooking vessel has a bottom plate and an upwardly extending continuous sidewall. A spigot assembly is secured to the sidewall above the bottom plate to allow draining of liquid from the vessel. A valve mounted in the spigot assembly regulates the flow of liquid from the vessel to an outlet spout. A filter is mounted in the spout to filter solid particles from the drained liquid. The spigot assembly has an attachment plate that is fixedly secured on the convex exterior surface of the sidewall surrounding a drain opening formed in the sidewall. A cylindrical attachment member is fixedly attached to the plate and extends through the plate into the drain opening without contacting the wall of the container, thereby avoiding the necessity of having the cylindrical member to conform to the convex wall of the vessel.

1. A cooking vessel, comprising: a container having a bottom plate and an outwardly convex side wall extending upwardly from said bottom plate, said side wall being provided with a drain opening a distance above said bottom plate; and a spigot assembly attached to the side wall in communication
1. A cooking vessel, comprising: a container having a bottom plate and an outwardly convex side wall extending upwardly from said bottom plate, said side wall being provided with a drain opening a distance above said bottom plate; and a spigot assembly attached to the side wall in communication with said drain opening, said spigot assembly comprising an attachment member secured to the side wall, said attachment member having a first portion that surrounds said drain opening on an exterior surface of said side wall, a second portion extending into said drain opening without contacting the sidewall, said first portion of the attachment member comprising an arcuate plate having a circumferential edge, which is fixedly attached to the exterior surface of the side wall, said arcuate plate being provide with a central opening for receiving the second portion therethrough. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said spigot assembly further comprises a valve member for regulating draining of liquid from said container.3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said spigot assembly further comprises a filter assembly secured downstream from said valve member.4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein said filter assembly comprises a filter holder and a mesh filter detachably positioned in said filter holder.5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein said spigot assembly further comprises a spout member threadably engageable with said valve members, and wherein said filter holder is threadably engageable with said spout member.6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said second portion has a generally cylindrical configuration, and wherein an exterior diameter of said second portion is smaller than the diameter of said drain opening.7. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said valve member is threadably engageable with said attachment member.8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein a threaded coupler is positioned between said attachment member and an inlet end of said valve member.9. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said valve member is provided with a handle to regulate a flow if liquid through said spigot assembly.10. A cooking vessel, comprising: a container having a bottom plate and a cylindrical continuous side wall extending upwardly from said bottom plate, said side wall being provided with a drain opening a distance above said bottom plate; and a spigot assembly attached to the side wall in communication with said drain opening, said spigot assembly comprising an attachment member secured to the side wall, said attachment member having a first portion that is fixedly attached to and surrounds said drain opening on an exterior surface of said side wall and a second portion extending into said drain opening without contacting said side wall, said spigot assembly facilitating a fluid communication between an interior of said container and an exterior thereof to allow draining of liquid from said container, said spigot assembly further comprising a detachable filter mounted downstream from said drain opening. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein said second portion of the attachment member extends through a central opening of said first portion of the attachment member, said second portion having an exterior diameter that is smaller than the diameter of said drain opening.12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein said first portion of the attachment member has a circumferential edge that conforms to the configuration of the cylindrical wall of the container, said circumferential edge being fixedly attached to the exterior surface of said side wall.13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein said spigot assembly further comprises a valve member detachably secured to said second portion of the attachment member and positioned in fluid communication with said drain opening, a spout member in fluid communication with said valve member and a filter assembly detachably secured on said spout member, said filter assembly facilitating filtering of solid particle s when liquid from said container is being drained.14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said valve member is provided with a handle to regulate the flow of liquid from said container to said spout member.15. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein said filter assembly comprises a filter holder detachably engageable with said spout member and a mesh filter removably secured within said filter holder in a passage of liquid flow from said container through said spigot assembly.16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein a threaded coupler is positioned between said second portion of the attachment member and an inlet end of said valve member to facilitate detaching of said valve member from said attachment member when required.
