Abstract The invention provides a form which is used in conjunction with a frypan or grill for cooking foods. By confining eggs or batter or other food to be cooked to the area within the form, food products can be given an interesting and appealing appearance. More than that, however, use of the form permits control of product thickness and provides a food product whose taste and ''''feel'''' differ from what that product would have in the absence of the form. The form is made of heat conductive metal, is plastic coated, and has mass and weight so that when used in conjunction with the hot surface of a frypan or grill, food is cooked rapidly at its outer edges and at its bottom to form a shell in which still-liquid portions of the body of foodstuff are contained when the form is lifted away to be used again.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
A cooking implement comprising: a wall of metal extending continuously around the perimeter of an area whose shape corresponds to the shape desired in a food to be cooked within the wall; said wall having a flat lower face lying in a plane and being formed at a point along its length to receive the end of a lifting lever; said implement having a wall thickness at its lower face not less than five-thirty-seconds of an inch and a height not exceeding one-fourth of an inch; said implement being made of aluminum and having a weight not less than one-sixth ounces per inch along its length, and being coated with plastic; the wall at said one point being provided with a through opening extending from its upper to its lower face, the portion thereof that separates said through opening from the inteRior of said implement being recessed at its lower side over a portion of its width to receive the end of a lifting implement.
