Taco/Tortilla Shell Fryer/Baking Grill and Prep & Serving Stand

摘要

This tortilla cooking utensil functions uniquely with all metal wire grates and O-rings. The O-rings allow the device to open, secure the tortilla, and close the device. The reduced size allows for simultaneous preparation of multiple shells with multiple devices. The device may also be used as an individual preparation and serving stand. The elimination of perforated metal plates and utensil handles makes the utensil less expensive to produce and easier for storage. The elimination of materials such as wood, plastic and other high-heat sensitive materials avoids heat damage to the device.

主权项

1. The invention is a cooking utensil for soft tortillas comprising two U-shaped metal grills connected by two O-rings all constructed with metal (preferably stainless steel) wire.
a. The metal grills are comprised of two horizontal and three vertical grate lengths with one grill having a horizontal grate separation of approximately ½ cm greater than the other grill to accommodate the tortilla thickness. b. Two removable O-rings or slip-rings are used to connect the two grills at opposite positions outside the center vertical grates of the two grills providing the mechanism to open the device and place or remove the tortilla, or close the device and secure the tortilla for cooking.
