Food retainer for rotary grill

摘要

The food retainer for a rotary grill allows a wide variety of differing food articles to be grilled with a rotary grill, a rotisserie or the like. The food retainer may take the form of a flat rectangular wire mesh cage having an open side edge for inserting a slice or patty of food therein; a perforate plate or a wire rack having one or more straps for securing food thereto; a wire mesh cylindrical shell having an open end for inserting food therein; or circular end members having radially spaced spits or skewers extending between them. All embodiments of the food retainer have shaft ends extending therefrom for rotatably mounting the food retainers on a rotary grill or rotisserie.
