Abstract: Improvements are disclosed for a cooking device having a base with an opening in the center which is placed over the burner of a stove, a wire grid supported over the base and spaced therefrom which supports food to be cooked, and a lid which rests on the base over the wire grid. One improvement is a frusto-conically shaped support which supports the cooking device over the burner and which has holes in the side thereof to allow the device to be used with an electric stove. Another improvement is a removable plate which is interposed between the base and the wire grid which catches drippings from the food, and thus prevents unwanted odors and smoke.
