Abstract: This invention is a tray having a plurality of parallelly disposed open topped, open ended channels. These channels are filled with a mixture to be cooked and a cutting, shaping and dispatching knife is used to remove any excess mixture from the tops and ends of the channels. The knife is then turned over where the blade has a plurality of grooves formed therein to allow the knife to cut the mixture laterally in each channel simultaneously. The blade is then moved longitudinally toward the end of the channels to dispatch the cut mixture from the channels into a cooking medium. Indicia are included on the channels to allow even amounts of mixture to be dispensed each time such mixture is cut.
