Claims21
A device for roasting a food item, comprising:
- a shaft;
- and
- a food engagement assembly comprising:
- a pointed apparatus at one end of the shaft;
- a plurality of spirals formed around the pointed apparatus, the pointed apparatus movable within the plurality of spirals;
- and
- an operator actuation assembly comprising:
- at least one rod movable within the plurality of spirals;
- and
- a stopper attached to one end of the at least one rod and having an aperture configured to receive the pointed apparatus;
- and
- wherein the stopper is positioned within an inner portion of the plurality of spirals when the device is in a charged configuration.
