CONTAINER FOR HEATING A FOOD ARTICLE IN A TOASTER

摘要

A container (10) supporting a food article to be heated in a toaster. The container comprises an upright structure having a closed bottom (18) and a front (12) and a back (14) parallel to the front. The upright structure has an openable top (21) for access to a heated food article. The front and back have apertures (24) located above the closed bottom. The apertures provide an open area in the front and the back to pass toaster radiation heat into the container to heat the food article and for steam from a heated food article to exit the container. The upright structure has a portion (16) extending sufficiently above the toaster which is cool-to-the-touch and electrically nonconductive to enable a user to lift the container from the toaster without a finger burn or electrical shock. The closed bottom (18) of the container forms a drip trough. The container also has a fluid-absorbing member (32) at the drip trough to absorb drippings from the heated food article.
