Form insert for use with a springform pan to make a uniform thickness crust

摘要

A form for use with a springform pan to make a uniform thickness crust that has both bottom and side surfaces, the pan having a bottom and sidewall surface, the form comprising a variable or fixed sidewall ring having top and bottom rims, a defined height, inner and outer surfaces, and two parallel slits extending between the rims that are over-lapable to set the sidewall ring diameter, and a plurality of spacers, that affix to a sidewall selected from the group consisting of the pan sidewall surface and the sidewall ring to control the spaced distance between the sidewall ring outer surface and pan sidewall surface to yield a substantially uniform side thickness crust, and wherein the sidewall ring is configured to enable the sidewall ring bottom rim to cut through raw crust material placed adjacent the pan sidewall surface.

主权项

1. A form for use with a pan, that has a pan bottom surface and a separable, pan sidewall surface, to make a substantially, uniform thickness pastry crust which has both bottom and side surfaces, from a raw crust mixture that has a configuration which enables a portion of said raw crust mixture to be initially affixed to a desired thickness against said separable, pan sidewall surface, said form comprising:
a sidewall ring having inner and outer surfaces and top and bottom rims, and wherein said bottom rim surrounds an opening that provides unencumbered access to the volume of space enclosed by said inner surface of said sidewall ring, and wherein said rims are spaced apart and define the height of said sidewall ring, and wherein said sidewall ring bottom rim has a configuration adapted to enable said sidewall ring bottom rim to cut through said portion of said raw crust mixture that has been initially affixed to a desired thickness against said separable, pan sidewall surface so as to shave said portion of said raw crust mixture to a substantially, uniform thickness.
