Claims20
A device for preparing and baking a pizza, comprising:
- a boundary wall made of oven-safe, dishwasher-safe, and food-safe material having a lower edge defining a closed curve on a plane;
- a plurality of segments of oven-safe, dishwasher-safe, and food-safe material, each segment having edges which are not sharp, the lower edges of the segments being coplanar with the lower edge of the boundary wall, and each segment extending from a position along the boundary wall and meeting with the other segments in the plurality of segments at a junction located at the geometric center of the closed curve, whereby the segments serve to define portions of the pizza and maintain the integrity of each portion, preventing any toppings on the pizza from migrating from one portion to another.
A method of preparing and baking a pizza with a device comprising:
- a boundary wall having a lower edge defining a closed shape on a plane;
- a plurality segments, each segment having edges, the lower edges of the segments being coplanar with the lower edge of the boundary wall, and each segment extending inward from a position along the boundary wall, the method comprising:
- (a) pressing the device through an unbaked pizza and into contact with a base located underneath the unbaked pizza, thereby defining slices of the pizza;
- (b) baking the pizza with the device in place;
- and
- (c) separating the device from the pizza.
3 more elements
A device for preparing and baking a pizza, comprising:
- a plurality of compartments separated by divisions adapted to divide the pizza into portions, the compartments being adapted to maintain the integrity of each portion such that each portion bakes independently of the other portions and any toppings on the pizza do not migrate from one portion to another portion.
