Abstract
A cooking rack for bacon, or other food products, includes several articulated planar members defining a series of connected V-shaped structures. Each planar member, which may be defined by a plurality of generally parallel wires or other members, is generally porous. Bacon strips are placed on the planar members, and the rack is placed in a cooking vessel. The porosity of the planar members allows air to flow around the bacon during cooking, and allows liquids to fall from the bacon into a vessel below. The V-shaped structures may include spacers which prevent adjacent strips of bacon from touching each other.
Claims21
A rack for cooking foods, comprising a plurality of generally planar members, at least some of the planar members being porous, the planar members being connected to each other such that each planar member shares an edge with an adjacent planar member, each planar member being oblique relative to an adjacent planar member.
A rack for cooking strips of bacon or other foods, comprising a plurality of generally planar members, each planar member having an edge, each planar member being connected along its edge to at least one other planar member, each planar member being oblique relative to each adjacent planar member, the planar members defining a plurality of connected and congruent V-shaped structures, wherein at least a portion of each planar member is porous.
A method of cooking strips of bacon or other food products, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a rack comprising a plurality of generally planar members, the planar members being generally porous, the planar members being connected to each other such that each planar member shares an edge with an adjacent planar member, each planar member being oblique relative to all planar members which are adjacent to said each planar member,
- b) placing strips of food product on the planar surfaces,
- c) inserting the rack into a cooking vessel, and
- d) cooking the food product.
