A device and method for shaping baked goods that includes a container and a shaping rack engaging a semi-solid consumable substance within the container to enable creative and decorative shaping and decoration of the semi-solid consumable substance. The shaping rack comprises a perimeter frame section that encloses a framed shaping section. The framed shaping section forms multiple framed sub-sections having geometric shapes. The shaping rack is superimposed over the semi-solid consumable substance. The shaping rack translates, with a sharp edge, toward a bottom surface of the semi-solid consumable substance. In translation, the shaping rack penetrates the semi-solid consumable substance to a determined depth. This allows formation of consumable substance units corresponding in shape, respectively, to the geometric shapes of the framed sub-sections. Blocks on opposite ends of the semi-solid consumable substance restrict penetration by the shaping rack past a predetermined depth.

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 novel loaf shaped croissant suitable for slicing and the individual slices suitable for toasting.

The present disclosure provides a baking pan having a plurality of ribs projecting upward from the bottom surface thereof. The ribs and an outer wall of the pan define a plurality of cells. The ribs serve as a guide to a user pouring batter into the pan, to ensure that the batter is evenly poured in all areas of the pan. The batter can be poured to a point where it almost covers or just covers the top of the ribs. The present disclosure also provides a spatula having a flat shape at one end and a cutting wheel at another end.

A precision baking system includes a baking vessel that defines a vertical direction. The baking vessel includes a base wall and at least one sidewall. An aperture is formed in one of the base wall and the sidewall. The precision baking system also includes a temperature probe. The temperature probe includes a tip and a temperature sensor within the tip. The temperature probe is sized to extend through the aperture such that the tip of the temperature probe is spaced from the base wall and the sidewall of the baking vessel when the temperature probe is fully inserted into the baking vessel through the aperture.

A cooking device includes a bottom wall having a raised cooking surface surrounded by an overflow trough. A liquid dispersion pattern is disposed on the raised cooking surface and includes a plurality of channels configured to channel liquid towards a peripheral edge of the raised cooking surface. Each channel includes a first end disposed in a first plane and a second end disposed in a second plane that is vertically offset form the first plane. A body portion of each channel interconnects the first and second ends. The channels are spaced apart to define support ribs therebetween which are configured to abuttingly support a food substrate on the cooking device during a cooking procedure. With the channels positioned between the support ribs, the food substrate is supported in an intermittent manner on the cooking surface as compared to full contact support found in conventional cooking devices.
