A system for tracking and managing leaking pans and trays, comprising a set of baking pans or trays that includes a plurality of individual baking pans or trays, each of which includes a unique identification tag positioned thereon, wherein each unique identification tag includes information about the individual baking pan or tray on which the identification tag is positioned; and a data acquisition system that includes at least one sensor mounted in proximity to a production line conveyor for detecting baking pans or trays positioned on the conveyor; at least one tag-reading device that is activated when the at least one sensor detects a pan or tray on the conveyor, wherein the at least one tag reading device reads information from each identification tag and transmits the information to a controller; and a controller that includes hardware and software that controls the at least one sensor and the at least one tag reading device, and that receives, processes, and outputs the information read from the identification tags on the baking pans or trays.

Disclosed is a baking tray for baking food, including a sheet connected to a tubular peripheral frame substantially shaped like a rectangular frame. The coupling between the sheet and the frame is obtained so as to allow an at least partial recovery of the differences in thermal expansion between the sheet and the frame. Namely, the connection between the edge of the sheet and the tubular elements of the frame is obtained by folding the sheet on itself in a U, at the edge, and fitting the latter on substantially L-shaped section bars suitably connected to the tubular elements of the frame, respectively, by electric spot welding.

Example aspects of a baking tray and a method for using a baking tray are disclosed. The baking tray can comprise a baking tray body; and a baking cup formed in the baking tray body, the baking cup defining a baking cavity and an aperture formed through the baking cup. The method can comprise providing a baking tray, the baking tray comprising a baking cup formed in a baking tray body, the baking cup defining a baking cavity and an aperture formed through the baking cup; inserting a dough into the baking cavity; and baking the dough in the baking tray to form a baked good.

The invention relates to a device that comprises a carriage and an oven including a baking chamber, a plurality of stacked baking soles and means for heating said soles. The device is characterized in that it includes a plurality of nets made of a heat-resistant flexible material and includes at least one cell for receiving said food products, in that the carriage is arranged for inserting said nets into the oven, for withdrawing same and for positioning same opposite a sole, and in that it includes means for vertically moving the soles and/or the nets relative to each other so as to place said soles and said nets in an active position in which the bottom of the cells of a net is in contact with the baking sole located opposite and is capable of deformation upon contact with said sole so as to bake said products by induction, and in a passive position, in which the bottom of said cells is separated from the sole located opposite.

A cooking utensil that includes a non-stick release agent that is mechanically secured to a substrate of the cooking utensil. The invention also pertains to a method for using the cooking utensil to heat and/or bake food products, and to a method for recoating the non-stick release agent on the substrate of the cooking utensil.

A cooking device including a base having a bottom plate with a plurality of slots, a first end wall, a second end wall, and a side wall. The cooking device also includes at least one first rack removably coupled to the base, the at least one first rack including a main body portion having a rack tab, and at least one second rack removably coupled to the base, the at least one second rack including a main body portion and an upper plate extending from an upper surface of the second rack main body portion. The second rack main body portion has a rack tab. The base includes structure for receiving the rack tabs to secure the respective first and second racks to the base.
