Abstract
A device for configuring foil as it is dispensed comprising a first section comprising a first configuration; a second section comprising a second configuration; the foil dispenser adapted to dispense foil between the first and second sections, the first and second sections imparting a grill-like configuration to the foil as the foil exits the dispensing device. A method of creating a cross sectional configuration in foil comprising: passing the foil through an opening; the opening having first and second sections which impart a configuration to the foil; the first and second sections being configured to create a grill-like configuration along the longitudinal axis of the foil.
Claims20
A device for dispensing and configuring of foil for the cooking of food comprising:
- a first section comprising a plurality of first substantially circular wheel-like portions;
- a second section comprising a plurality of second substantially circular wheel-like portions which interface the first substantially circular portions of the first section;
- a base on which the first and second sections are operatively connected;
- the first and second sections adapted to configure the foil such that foil is moved between the first and second sections, the foil is configured by the first and second substantially circular portions into a lateral supporting surface comprising continuously elevated portions along the longitudinal axis of the foil such that food may be supported by the elevated portions during cooking.
A method for dispensing aluminum foil while creating a cross sectional configuration in the aluminum foil comprising:
- providing a dispenser from which the aluminum foil may be dispensed;
- the dispenser having an opening therein;
- passing the aluminum foil through the opening;
- the opening having first and second sections which impart a cross sectional configuration to the aluminum foil;
- the first and second sections being configured to create continuously elevated portions along the longitudinal axis of the aluminum foil.
A device for configuring foil comprising:
- a first section comprising a first configuration;
- a second section located adjacent the first section and comprising a second configuration different from the first configuration;
- the foil configuring device adapted to dispense foil between the first and second sections, the first and second portions imparting a grill-like surface configuration to the foil as the foil is dispensed from the foil configuring device in a longitudinal direction of the foil.
A device for dispensing and configuring of foil comprising:
- a first section comprising first substantially circular portions;
- a second section comprising second substantially circular portions which interface with the first substantially circular portions of the first section;
- a base on which the first and second sections are operatively connected, the base forming part of a dispenser having a movable top portion for insertion of a roll of foil, and wherein the first and second substantially circular portions are positioned on a side of the dispenser such that as the foil is dispensed, the foil passes between the first and second substantially circular portions to thereby configure the foil;
- whereby when foil is moved between the first and second sections, the foil is configured by the first and second substantially circular portions into continuously elevated portions along the longitudinal axis of the foil.
