Abstract
A cooking utensil includes an all-in-one device that incorporates a partially perforated pan, circular in shape, with a permanent and continuous circumferential holder with one or more supports that provide stability and safety during the extrusion process of the soft batter. At the same time, this cooking utensil fits easily on top of commonly used cooking vessels regardless of lip configuration or vessel diameter. This cooking utensil also includes versions for removable type holders in kit form that can be used interchangeably with several pans with different hole sizes while providing multiple support and stability over commonly used cooking vessels.
Claims18
An all-in-one cooking utensil comprising:
- a pan having
- a bottom,
- sides that extend from said bottom to a continuous circumferential rim, a width of said continuous circumferential rim being in an inclusive range of 1 inch through 6 inches,
- at least one extended support that extends radially from said rim, and
- a handle formed integrally with said rim, wherein
- said bottom includes two side-by-side sections including a first section having holes formed therethrough and a second section that is devoid of said holes and is configured to hold batter thereon as a staging area for being extruded through said holes in said first section, wherein said handle and said at least one extended support are configured to rest on a cooking pot so as to position an entirety of said bottom of said pan over an interior portion of said cooking pot.
A cooking utensil comprising:
- a pan;
- a continuous circumferential pan holder having
- a frame having
- an inner diameter sized to accommodate the pan, the pan being a partially perforated pan having a diameter in an inclusive range of 7.5 inches through 12 inches in diameter, and
- an outer diameter up to 19 inches,
- a handle that extends from said outer diameter of said frame up to 7 inches in length;
- and
- at least one extension connected to said frame that extends, radially outward from said outer diameter by a distance and displaced along said outer diameter from said handle by another distance, wherein a bottom of said partially perforated pan includes two side-by-side sections including a first section having holes formed therethrough and a second section that is devoid of said holes and is configured to hold batter thereon as a staging area for being extruded through said holes in said first section, and when resting on a cooking pot said pan holder is configured to hold an entirety of the bottom of the pan over an interior portion of the cooking pot.
A cooking kit, comprising:
- a first substantially circular cooking pan having
- a substantially circular bottom having a diameter in an inclusive range of 7 through 12 inches;
- a frame configured to hold an entirety of said bottom of said cooking pan within an inner diameter of a cooking pot on which said frame is configured to be disposed;
- a side that extends from said bottom to a continuous circumferential lip that is configured to contact and be supported by the frame, said side includes a detent formed therein such that said frame is held in place between said lip and said detent when said pan is placed on said frame, and
- said bottom includes two side-by-side sections including a first section having holes formed therethrough and a second section that is devoid of said holes and is configured to hold batter thereon as a staging area for being extruded through said holes in said first section.
