Abstract
A pan is for receiving and baking a food product in a baking oven. The pan includes nested tiered bands, and canted strips coupled between the nested tiered bands. Each canted strip is canted with respect to adjacent nested tiered bands. The pan also includes a medial body within an innermost nested tiered band of the nested tiered bands, and a peripheral flange extending from an outermost nested tiered band of the nested tiered bands.
Claims20
A pan for receiving and baking a food product in a baking oven, the pan comprising:
- a plurality of nested tiered bands, each of the plurality of nested tiered bands being canted at an angle with respect to a horizontal axis;
- a plurality of canted strips coupled between the plurality of nested tiered bands, each canted strip being canted with respect to adjacent nested tiered bands;
- a medial body within an innermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands;
- and
- a peripheral flange extending from an outermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands, the outermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands being below the innermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands.
A pizza pan for receiving and baking a pizza product in a baking oven, the pizza pan comprising:
- a plurality of nested tiered bands, each of the plurality of nested tiered bands being vertically offset from one another and being canted at an angle with respect to a horizontal axis;
- a plurality of canted strips coupled between the plurality of nested tiered bands, each canted strip being canted with respect to adjacent nested tiered bands;
- a medial body within an innermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands;
- and
- a peripheral flange extending from an outermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands, the peripheral flange being canted with respect to the outermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands, the outermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands being below the innermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands.
A method for making a pan for receiving and baking a food product in a baking oven, the method comprising:
- forming a plurality of canted strips coupled between a plurality of nested tiered bands, each canted strip being canted with respect to adjacent nested tiered bands, each of the plurality of nested tiered bands being canted at an angle with respect to a horizontal axis;
- forming a medial body within an innermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands;
- and
- forming a peripheral flange extending from an outermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands, the outermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands being below the innermost nested tiered band of the plurality of nested tiered bands.
