Bun press and sloppiless bun
View Patent ↗A bun press is disclosed. The invention relates generally to a device for shaping the interior of an already baked, sliced bun and thereby creating a sloppiless bun. The device comprises a die or set of dies that is pressed into the top and bottom halves of a single or a plurality of baked, sliced bun(s) to provide an interior cavity that can contain messy, liquid-like or liquid fillings, e.g. “sloppy joe” fillings, melted cheese, meatballs and tomato sauce and the like.
1. A bun press comprising:
a handle portion being a rounded dome;
a indentation portion connected to the handle portion, the indentation portion being cylindrical in shape and smaller in diameter than the largest diameter of the handle portion; and
wherein the indentation portion is connected to the handle portion are connected in such a way as to form a lip.
2. A press platelet for pressing buns comprising:
a die block;
a first forming tool located on the die block being a curved semicircle attached to a first cylinder, having at its end a curved semicircle forming surface;
a second forming tool located on the die block being a second cylinder, having a flat forming surface.
3. The bun press of claim 1 wherein:
the maximum diameter of the handle portion is 3¾ inches;
the diameter of the indentation portion is 2⅝ inches;
the handle has a height of 2 inches; and
the indentation portion has a height of ½ inches.
4. The press platelet of claim 2 wherein:
the maximum diameter of the first forming tool is 3¾ inches;
the height of the first forming tool's cylinder is ⅛ inches and the total height of the first forming tool is ½ inches;
the diameter of the second forming tool is 2⅝ inches; and
the second forming tool has a height of ½ inches.
5. The press platelet of claim 2 wherein:
the diameter of the first forming tool's cylinder is identical to the diameter of the second forming tool's diameter.
6. The press platelet of claim 2 wherein:
the first forming tool and the second forming tool located on the die block are oriented in the same direction.
7. The press platelet of claim 6 wherein:
the first forming tool and the second forming tool located on the die block are spaced apart.
8. The press platelet of claim 2 wherein:
the press platelet when viewed from a topside view has a stadium shape.
