Abstract
Abstract A flat welded wire assembly has a regular shaped multiple member welded frame, and a pair of diverging securing members extending across the frame and terminating in a U-bend wire handle. Each one of the terminus of the pair of diverging members terminates in a securing hook, slidably engaging a cooking pan top rim. A slidable hook member is secured on the U-bend handle, slidably adjusting on the hook securing under the same pan top rim, providing a three-point pan rim engagement for the regular shape member welded frame at a selected depth inside the pan. The cooking pan is filled with water, and a hermetically sealed food pouch is disposed under the regular shape member frame and can be cooked over a heat source.
