Abstract
A method for preparing a food product having a predetermined perimetrical shape from a moldable mixture of food product ingredients. The method, in a preferred form, comprises the steps of providing a plurality of substantially planar panels that can be removably interconnected; bending and interconnecting the panel members to form a panel assembly having the desired perimetrical shape; placing the panel assembly on a bottom member to form a cavity; sealing the intersection between the panel assembly and the bottom member; pouring the moldable food product into the cavity and processing the food product to cause it to solidify; and thereafter, removing the panel assembly from the food product.
Claims8
A method for preparing a food product having a predetermined shape from a moldable mixture of food product ingredients, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a plurality of substantially planar panel members having joint means formed therein to enable said panel members to be removably interconnected together at their edges;
- (b) bending said panel members so that, in series, they form said predetermined perimetrical shape;
- (c) removably interconnecting said panel members at their edges to form a panel assembly having said perimetrical shape;
- (d) placing said panel assembly onto a surface of a bottom member, said panel assembly and said bottom member forming an ingredient receiving cavity;
- (e) sealing the intersection of said panel assembly with said surface with a nontoxic sealant material to make said intersection substantially fluid-tight;
- (f) pouring said moldable mixture of ingredients into said ingredient receiving cavity;
- (g) processing said mixture to cause it to solidify into said food product;
- and
- (h) removing said panel assembly from the perimeter of the food product.
A method for baking a cake having a predetermined perimetrical shape from a moldable mixture of ingredients, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a plurality of substantially planar panel members having joint means formed therein to enable said panel members to be removably interconnected together at their edges by a removable connection means;
- (b) bending said panel members so that, in series, they form said predetermined perimetrical shape;
- (c) interconnecting said panel members to form a panel assembly having said predetermined perimetrical shape of the cake;
- (d) placing said panel assembly onto a surface of a bottom member to create an ingredient receiving cavity;
- (e) sealing the intersection of said panel assembly with said surface with a nontoxic sealant material to make said intersection fluid-tight;
- (f) pouring the ingredients into said ingredient receiving cavity;
- (g) baking said ingredients within the ingredients receiving cavity at a predetermined baking temperature for a predetermined amount of baking time to create the cake having said predetermined perimetrical shape;
- and
- (h) removing said panel assembly from the perimeter of the cake.
A method for preparing a food product having a predetermined shape from a moldable mixture of food product ingredients, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a plurality of substantially planar panel members having joint means formed therein to enable said panel members to be slidably interconnected together at their edges;
- (b) bending said panel members so that, in series, they form said predetermined perimetrical shape;
- (c) slidably interconnecting said panel members at their edges to form a panel assembly having said perimetrical shape;
- (d) placing said panel assembly onto a surface of a bottom member, said panel assembly and said bottom member forming an ingredient receiving cavity;
- (e) sealing the intersection of said panel assembly with said surface with a nontoxic sealant material to make said intersection substantially fluid-tight;
- (f) pouring said moldable mixture of ingredients into said ingredient receiving cavity;
- (g) processing said mixture to cause it to solidify into said food product;
- and
- (h) removing said panel assembly from the perimeter of the food product.
