Abstract
A baking pan for the producing of an elongated hot dog receiving recess within a hot dog bun, said baking pan comprising a base having a plurality of dough receiving recesses, a member adapted to overlie said base, said member having a plurality of elongated oval shaped in cross section rods with each said rod adapted to be located slightly above each dough receiving recess and longitudinally thereacross, the member being securable by securing means to the base when the member is connected to the base, guide means to precisely position the member upon the base.
Claims2
A hot dog bun baking pan comprising:
- a substantially flat plane base including upstanding side wall members secured to said base, whereby said upstanding side walls prevent the dough during baking from moving exteriorly of said base, and, said base being divided into a plurality of dough receiving sections;
- an overlying member removably connectable to said base, said member having a pair of transverse sides which are interconnected by a plurality of elongated oval shaped rods, said member adapted to be placed upon said base with one of said rods to extend centrally through each said dough receiving section, whereby with dough placed within each dough receiving section and said member placed upon said base during the baking operation the dough will conform around its respective said rod resulting in the forming of a hot dog bun with an elongated hot dog receiving recess detachable connecting means between said member and said base to secure said overlying member to said base and, positioning means attached to said base, said positioning means to connect with said member to locate said member at a particular location upon said base, said positioning means comprising a pair of spaced apart U-shaped upright guide members both located directly adjacent the periphery of said base, each said guide member having a longitudinal groove therein with said grooves facing each other, each end of one of said transverse sides is to cooperate within a said longitudinal groove, each said elongated rods being oval shaped in cross section with the longest axis of the rod being located perpendicular to the plane of said base, whereby a deeper recess is formed within the formed hot dog bun which permits the bun to more readily hold the hot dog.
