A collapsible platform assembly, comprising:
- a first stand portion comprising:
- a first central member,
- a top frame member having a first end connected to a first outer frame member and a second end connected to a second outer frame member,
- a first bottom frame member having a first end connected to the first outer frame member and a second end connected to the central member, wherein a first leg is attached to the first bottom frame member via a first connector,
- a second bottom frame member having a first end connected to the second outer frame member and a second end connected to the central member, wherein a second leg is attached to the second bottom frame member via a second connector;
- and
- a second stand portion comprising:
- a second central member,
- a top frame member having a first end connected to a third outer frame member and a second end connected to a fourth outer frame member,
- a third bottom frame member having a first end connected to the third outer frame member and a second end connected to the second central member, wherein a third leg is attached to the third bottom frame member via a third connector,
- a fourth bottom frame member having a first end connected to the fourth outer frame member and a second end connected to the second central member, wherein a fourth leg is attached to the fourth bottom frame member via a fourth connector.
A collapsible platform assembly, comprising:
- a first stand portion comprising a first body member connected to a second body member via a first central member;
- a second stand portion comprising a third body member connected to a fourth body member via a second central member;
- a first leg configured to attach to the first body member via a first connector;
- a second leg configured to attach to the second body member via a second connector;
- a third leg configured to attach to the third body member via a third connector;
- and
- a fourth leg configured to attach to the fourth body member via a fourth connector.
A method for packaging a collapsible cooking assembly, comprising:
- defining a length and a width of a cook surface;
- constructing a first stand portion comprising a first body member and a second body member connected to one another via a central member, wherein the first stand member is planar and wherein the width and height of the stand portion does not exceed the width and height of the cook surface;
- constructing a second stand portion comprising a third body member and a fourth body member connected to one another via a central member, wherein the second stand member is planar and wherein the width and height of the stand portion does not exceed the width and height of the cook surface;
- constructing one or more legs having a length equaling not more than the hypotenuse of the length and width of the cook surface;
- and
- packing the cook surface, first stand portion, second stand portion, and one or more legs in a lateral position and one top of one another in a container.
