Abstract
Abstract The invention comprises a pizza pie crust making device for making pizza pie crusts. The device has a housing and an upper and lower disc member. The lower disc member is fixed to the housing. The upper disc member has a flat lower surface and is pivotally mounted to the housing to pivot down flush upon the lower disc member. The lower disc member has an annular central recessed portion with an annular groove about the outer edge, which when the upper disc member is pivoted down flush against the lower disc member will form the hollow silhouette of a flat annular disc with an annular ridge. The upper and lower disc members have heating elements. Pizza pie crust dough will be placed between the disc member and the upper disc member will be pivoted down flush against the lower disc member to compress the pissa pie crust dough into the shape of the silhouette and the heating elements will at least partially bake or cook the dough, so as to retain its shape, as compressed between the disc members.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
264 words
A pizza pie crust making device for making a pizza pie crust comprising a housing, a first and second disc like member, said first disc like member having a flat planar surface, said second disc like member having a relatively wide central flat disc like recess with a deeper relatively narrower annular shallow recessed channel extending about the central recess and deeper in depth than the central recess and in communication therewith, said flat planar surface of said first disc member confronting said central recess and deeper recessed channel of said second disc member, one of said disc members being movable toward the other of said disc members into a flush relationship, said disc members when moved together into said flush relationship forming the hollow silhouette of a flat planar disc configuration with a laterally projecting annular relatively shallow ridge in the recessed areas therebetween, heating means in said first and second disc like members whereby pizza pie dough will be placed between the confronting surfaces of said disc members and said one of said disc members will be moved into said flush relationship with said other disc member, and the heating means will at least partially bake the pizza pie crust dough into a crust while compressed into said silhouette so as to reatin its shape, whereby said crust will be removed after baking and serve as a flat pizza pie crust having a flat planar disc crust portion and a raised annular relatively shallow crust ridge portion to retain further components of a pizza pie for further baking to complete the pie.
