20110315023 | Three Dimensional Cooking Pad - A cooking pad has a three dimensional surface configuration of peaks and valleys for cooking food. The three dimensional surface configuration elevates the food to a level where it cooks efficiently and evenly. The three dimensional surface configuration rapidly moves liquids expelled from the food during cooking away down depressions and prevents splattering of the liquids back onto the food. The cooking pad may be preformed to the three dimensional surface configuration or may assume this three dimensional surface configuration upon exposure to a cooking environment. | 12-29-2011 |
