  • Patent number: 10016091
    Abstract: An apparatus and associated methodology that is configured in conjunction with a heat source to toast sliced-sandwich bread. The toaster grill has a cooking surface defining an arcuate protuberant rib sized to be pressed into the sliced portion of the bread to contact substantially the entire rib against the inside portion of the bread. The heat source toasts the inside of the sliced bread to mold a toasted arcuate impression inside the bread. An upstanding edge supports the cooking surface so that when the edge contacts the heat source the cooking surface is spaced away from the heat source.
