Abstract: A combination food article positioning device and slicing guide, primarily intended to assist in slicing buns or bagels. The bun or bagel is entrapped between the guide and a table or other horizontal surface and held in position by contact between an inner end face of a pocket formed in the body of the apparatus and a table or the like. The body also includes sidewall surfaces, some of which are circular portions and others of which taper toward an apex, such that the entire pocket has a "teardrop" configuration. The sidewalls are slotted to receive a knife, and the tapered sidewall segments preferably include serrations or teeth. the noncircular shape opposite the knife-receiving slot and the serrations prevent the food product from turning within the guide.

Abstract: A rotisserie cooking unit has a centrally configured heat source, a pair of removable spit carriers and a pair of removable covers which are configured to provide the function of covering and enclosing the unit and of opening up to serve as drip pans and ash catches.
