Abstract
A device for configuring foil for use in cooking food comprising a base portion comprising first and second portions, a first plurality of elements operatively associated with the first portion; and a second plurality of elements operatively associated with the second portion; at least one of the first or second plurality of elements operating to move for entry of foil therebetween; the first and second plurality of elements operating to configure foil as the foil passes between the first and second plurality of elements. A method of cooking using configured foil.
Claims20
A device for configuring foil for use in cooking food comprising first and second portions, a first plurality of elements operatively associated with the first portion;
- and a second plurality of elements operatively associated with the second portion;
- at least one of the first or second plurality of elements operating to move for entry of foil therebetween;
- the first and second plurality of elements operating to configure foil into parallel undulations as the foil passes between the first and second plurality of elements.
A device for configuring foil for use in cooking food comprising:
- a base portion having first and second portions;
- a first plurality of elements operatively associated with the first portion;
- a second plurality of elements operatively associated with the second portion;
- at least one of the first and second portions operating to move relative to the base portion so as to allow entry of foil between the first and second plurality of elements in a first position and engagement of the foil with the first and second plurality of elements in a second position;
- the first plurality of elements being positioned diagonally across from the second plurality of elements;
- whereby in the second position the first and second plurality of elements impart a parallel ridge configuration to the foil.
A device for configuring foil for use in cooking food comprising:
- a base portion having first and second portions;
- a first plurality of elements operatively associated with the first portion;
- a second plurality of elements operatively associated with the second portion;
- the first and second plurality of elements comprising rounded engagement portions which create undulations in aluminum as the foil is passed therebetween which provide for the circulation of air when the foil is used for cooking;
- at least one of the first and second portions operating to move relative to the base portion so as to allow entry of foil between the first and second plurality of elements in a first position and engagement of the foil with the first and second plurality of elements in a second position;
- the first plurality of elements being positioned diagonally across from the second plurality of elements;
- whereby in the second position the first and second plurality of elements impart a configuration to the foil.
A method of cooking food using configured foil comprising:
- providing a dispenser from which foil may be dispensed;
- imparting a cross sectional configuration in foil;
- the cross sectional configuration being imparted using a foil configuring device comprising:
- a first portion comprising a first plurality of elements which impart a series of parallel grooves to the foil;
- a second portion comprising a second plurality of elements which impart a series of parallel ridges to the foil;
- at least one of the first and second plurality of elements being movable to permit the adjustment of the configuration imparted to the foil;
- whereby the configuration of the foil operates to reduce the extent to which the food sticks to the foil during cooking.
