Abstract: A circular microwaveable chip maker integrally molded of a microwave oven resistant plastic material, having a row of spacers defining slots between each adjacent pair of spacers. Thin food items are held in the slots in a spaced array to facilitate their cooking in a microwave oven. The chip maker has a handle for transporting it into and out of a microwave oven.

Abstract: A microwave cooker capable of cooking an assortment of foods by a variety of methods while maintaining constant pressure. The cooker of the present invention boils and steams foods continuously without pressure build up and without the need to shut off the microwave oven. Food spattering and spillage are prevented by a unique internal baffle rib design and a mechanism that releaseably locks the top cover.

Abstract: A combination cooking rack and aluminum foil pan assembly. The rack comprises wire segments for supporting a food item to be cooked. The wire segments define a planar array and are disposed above the pan base. The rack includes a pair of oppositely disposed handles, including a hand grip overlying the pan rim and a clamp below the pan rim for clamping the rim therebetween. The clamp is movable to a retracted position for assembly of the pan to the cooking rack and for detaching the rack from the pan.

Abstract: An elongated microwaveable fish poacher comprising a non-metallic, plastic base, rack and cover, and defining a fish poacher interior. The assembled parts present the appearance of a fish, with handles serving as a tail and fins, and cooperate to minimize undesired exchange of air from exterior of the assembled parts within which fish is adapted to be cooked in a microwave oven.

Abstract: An egg poacher having two injection molded polypropylene portions. One portion is a cover and the other being a bottom egg receptacle. The egg receptacle portion has at least one egg compartment that is a shallow depression having a bottom wall continuous with an upwardly extending side wall. The egg poacher includes drain outlet and vents whereby the eggs may be drained after cooking and steam and pressure may be released during microwave cooking.

Abstract: An aluminum foil oven pan and a wire holding frame therefor is disclosed. The holding frame comprises generally co-planar pan support portions extending beneath the bottom wall of the pan. The pan support portions have upwardly extending lateral portions for restraining the side wall of the pan. Some of the portions terminate in retaining members for being bent over to grip the pan rim. Other portions are provided with handle means whereby a retained pan may be easily lifted with the holding frame so that the user need not touch the pan during cooking procedures and whereby the risk of buckling the pan and spilling the contents therefrom is eliminated.

Abstract: An aluminum foil oven pan having a holding frame therefor is disclosed. The holding frame comprises wire and has generally co-planar pan support members extending beneath the bottom wall of the pan. The pan support members terminate in upwardly extending lateral portions for restraining the side wall of the pan. At least two of the lateral restraining portions are provided with handle means whereby a retained pan may be easily lifted with the holding frame so that the user need not touch the pan during cooking procedures and risk buckling the pan and spilling the food contents therefrom.

Abstract: An improved utensil for cutting pizza or the like is disclosed having a sharpened cutting wheel and a planar blade with a sharpened edge, the edges of both the wheel and blade are aligned so that the cutting paths traversed by each coincide. The pizza crust edges and the pizza body can then be cut respectively by the blade and cutter wheel in one cutting stroke across the pizza. The blade end further includes angled corners for completely separating the pizza at the pan corners. The planar blade is of sufficient width to hold a piece of pizza thereon for serving, and includes a serrated cutting edge to aid in inserting the blade between the pizza and the pan.
