Abstract
The following invention relates to a novel cooking container to complement use of conventional toasters, ovens and other cooking appliances. Specifically this unique invention pertains to a device that utilizes high temperature resistant material to enclose food items. With the food securely held, place into a conventional bread toaster for re-heating, cooking and toasting. This device allows a new method for preparation of favorite meals and snacks such as sandwiches with cheese and meat, desserts with graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate. This unique concept prevents the contents from spilling out into the cooking appliance and encloses the contents in a compact and neat package. The device washed then re-used, single use low cost disposable units utilize much less material and are disposed after a single use.
