Abstract
Method and apparatus for a flexible, metal mesh food wrap made up of interlocking flexible metal rings or links which, together with the air pockets between the rings, act as an insulating layer as it is wrapped around the food item during and after the cooking process. The flexible, metal mesh is formed of individual interlocking rings being formed into a flexible sheet of metal mesh. The flexible metal mesh is wrapped around the meat item during the cooking process so that the rings and the air pockets thereinbetween act as a insulating layer to retain heat in the food item during and after the cooking process to allow the natural juices to permeate through the food item without the food item losing its heat so that heat and moisture loss are reduced in order to increase flavor and reduce shrinkage.
