Abstract
Abstract Meat is roasted by suspending it on a web that is not hot to human contact regardless of the heat in which the meat is roasting. The weight of the roast is uniformly supported by the web, and the relatively cool web enables the roast to cook evenly.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
An apparatus for roasting meat comprising a frame and a flexible, relatively non-heat-retaining web supported by the frame, the web having a length and width greater than the length and width of the meat that is to rest and be roasted thereon and being formed of a material which is sufficiently flexible to permit the web to conform to the contour of meat of various shapes and of a material which is comfortable to the human hand at roasting temperatures of meat, the web being adapted to support the meat out of contact with the frame, the frame being adapted to support the web and the meat within an oven out of contact with the oven's surfaces.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
117 words
An apparatus for roasting meat comprising a frame and a flexible, relatively non-heat-retaining web supported by the frame, the web having a length and width greater than the length and width of the meat that is to rest and be roasted thereon and being formed of a material which is sufficiently flexible to permit the web to conform to the contour of meat of various shapes and of a material which is comfortable to the human hand at roasting temperatures of meat, the web being adapted to support the meat out of contact with the frame, the frame being adapted to support the web and the meat within an oven out of contact with the oven's surfaces.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
137 words
An apparatus for supporting and roasting meat in an oven in a manner to minimize heat transfer from the apparatus to the meat and to minimze weight-induced and heat-induced and cell-distorting pressures on the meat comprising a frame and a film supported by the frame, the film having a thickness within the range of about 0.001 inch to 0.01 inch and being formed of a material which is sufficiently flexible to permit the film to conform to the contour of meat of various shapes and of a material which is comfortable to the human hand at roasting temperatures of meat, the film being adapted to support the meat out of contact with the frame and the oven surfaces and having a surface area greater than the surface of the meat about which the film is to conform.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
137 words
An apparatus for supporting and roasting meat in an oven in a manner to minimize heat transfer from the apparatus to the meat and to minimze weight-induced and heat-induced and cell-distorting pressures on the meat comprising a frame and a film supported by the frame, the film having a thickness within the range of about 0.001 inch to 0.01 inch and being formed of a material which is sufficiently flexible to permit the film to conform to the contour of meat of various shapes and of a material which is comfortable to the human hand at roasting temperatures of meat, the film being adapted to support the meat out of contact with the frame and the oven surfaces and having a surface area greater than the surface of the meat about which the film is to conform.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
11 words
The apparatus of claim 2 in which the film is paper.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
11 words
The apparatus of claim 2 in which the film is plastic.
