A convertible multipurpose cooking article for food products includes a mat for receiving food products, the mat including a first side and a second side extending between a first end and a second end, openings disposed throughout the mat, the mat being sufficiently flexible to be repeatedly flexed between an open configuration in which the mat is flat, and a closed configuration juxtaposing the first end and the second end in which the mat defines a continuous sidewall encircling a volume and the first side and the second side encircle opposed upper and lower openings to the volume, and a fastener assembly configured to be repeatedly secured, for securing the first end to the second end when the mat is in the closed configuration, and separated, the fastener assembly including a structure thereof proximate to the first end and a complemental structure thereof proximate to the second end.

An apparatus for receiving a baking mold and holding the baking mold in a desired position for baking. For a baking mold that is held together by a seal that extends around the edges of the mold, the apparatus includes a slot or trough that bisects the top of the apparatus and receives the seal within the trough. Other embodiments include receptors for protrusions from the baking mold and others include a rim that the baking mold sits over.

A cooking apparatus and method for use of the same are disclosed that utilize forced convection and radiant heating cooking. In one embodiment, the cooking apparatus includes an oven housing defining a cooking chamber, a circulation chamber, and a catalyst chamber. The catalyst chamber is superposed to the circulation chamber and the circulation chamber is superposed to the cooking chamber. Heating elements are located in the cooking chamber and the circulation chamber. An airflow circulation loop is located between the cooking chamber and the circulation chamber. An exhaust airflow path is provided from the circulation chamber to the catalyst chamber to an exterior of the oven housing. A fan subassembly is located within the oven housing and the fan subassembly circulates convection air along the airflow circulation loop with a portion of the convection air being diverted into the exhaust airflow path.

A mold assembly including at least three pieces that are joined together by a seal. Once joined together, the mold assembly defines an interior cavity defining a shape for a baked comestible product. A comestible substance is injected into the interior cavity through an opening in the mold assembly that is either defined by one of the three pieces or by an opening in the seal between two or more of the three pieces. After baking, the pieces of the mold can be peeled away from the comestible product by breaking the seal.

A crimped strip of thin sheet metal (such as aluminum foil) or metal composite material that surrounds a pie crust from the body of the pie to the under edge of the pie crust. and protects it from burning or over-browning while cooking. The two outer edges of the strips width are crimped so that the final product, when viewed from the side, assumes a circular appearance. The crimped and moldable strip accommodates a variety of pie diameters and pie crust heights and designs because of its easily adjustable and moldable qualities. The crimped and moldable pie baking strip is malleable, the length can be cut to size, and the ends can be folded together to secure its position. It is designed primarily as a single use item to address an unmet market need.

A package for raw dough products is disclosed that includes a tray defining an interior storage space, and a collapsible baking pad having an upper surface configured to support a plurality of raw dough products and adapted for movement between a nested condition dimensioned for placement within the interior storage space of the tray for shipping and a flattened condition separated from the tray for baking the raw dough products.

The invention relates, inter alia, to a device (10) for holding foodstuffs in the manner of a cooking or baking mold (11), comprising a bottom wall (12) and a plurality of side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d), wherein the side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) are displaceable from a rest position (14), in which they lie flat, relative to the bottom wall (12) into an upright working position (15), and wherein a mat-like portion (16a, 16b, 16,c 16d) is arranged between each two side walls (13a, 13b) and forms an overlap (20) when the side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) are in the working position (15). The special feature of the invention consists, inter alia, in the fact that the bottom wall (12) and the side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) are made of metal, wherein the bottom wall (12) along its edge portions (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d) and the side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) along their edge portions (22a, 22b, 22c, 22d) bordering the bottom wall (12) are covered with a plastics compound (23), which is arranged on the outer side (39, 40a, 40b, 40c, 40d) of the walls and which connects the edge portions (22a, 22b, 22c, 22d) of the side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) to the edge portions (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d) of the bottom wall (12), wherein the inner sides (25, 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d) of the walls (12, 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) are kept free of plastics compound (23).

The present disclosure relates to a bread baking mold including a frame, a cover plate provided at the top of the frame, a bottom plate provided at the bottom of the frame, and at least a container provided in the frame. Wherein the cover plate and the bottom plate can opening and/or closing relative to the frame respectively. When it is necessary to produce toasts of various sizes and shapes, it only needs to replace the container, and there is no need to repurchase a complete set of mold, which can effectively reduce the use cost. The container is convenient to be replaced and can be selected according to the amount of raw material to be produced, which can effectively reduce material waste. The cover plate and the bottom plate are detachable after use. There are no dead corners in the cleaning process, which is helpful to keep clean, to ensure sanitation in use, and to reduce storage space.
