Description

8PECIFIC~TION
This invention relates to a device used in the cooking of
sliced meats. Sliced meats such as bacon are generally
cooked on a hot surface, such as a hot plate, grill or
frying pan. These meats curl up because one side of the meat
gets hot while the other slde remalns cold and because the
consistency of the fat to meat ratio is never constant.
These factors prevents the meat from cooking evenly.
This invention prevents sliced meats from curling
- during cooking and produces evenly cooked pieces of meat.
This invention consists of a piece of metal or high
temperature plastic of a size that will fit most domestic
cooking surfaces and of a thickness sufficient for the
device to hold lts flatness during regular use. Item # 1 on
- drawing.
