Abstract

An inventive concept discloses a container comprising a receptacle for assembling and preparation of edible food ingredients. In the preferred embodiment, the receptacle is constructed of a clear rigid material, oriented vertically upright, with sequentially and orthogonally-joined, peripheral faces or walls. The joined walls create a hollow upper opening and a corresponding hollow lower opening. The peripheral walls further display vertical measurement indicators, shown as both vertical quarter-inch increments and quarter-centimeter increments. Both sets of markings may be impressed, marked, or engraved on the outer surfaces of the faces/walls, to serve as pre-determined fill levels. The incremental markings may also be supplemented by corresponding parallel, horizontal ridges protruding from the interior surfaces of the faces or walls.

Dependent claims

A pastry mold device for measuring, shaping, placement and arrangement of desired proportions of any of a plurality of edible ingredients within the device, thereby enabling the preparation of certain food items, the device comprising:

an oblong, rigid container, oriented so as to have, a first wall, a second wall, a third wall, and a fourth wall, the walls sequentially joined to each other at four successive vertical corners, the container thereby forming a square, upper area and a correspondingly-dimensioned square, lower area, wherein
(a) the first wall of the container displays (i) vertically incremental centimeter markings on its outer left corner, and (ii) a plurality of horizontal ridges protruding a distance outward from the inner surface of the first wall, and (iii) each horizontal ridge separated from its adjacent ridge in equal increments measured in centimeters;
and
(b) the third wall parallel to the first wall, displays (i) vertically incremental markings, in inches, proximate its outer left corner, (ii) a plurality of horizontal ridges protruding a distance outward from the inner surface of the third wall, and (iii) each horizontal ridge separated from its adjacent ridge in equal increments measured in inches.
