Device for roasting fowl
A device for roasting fowl includes a base pan shaped to have a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface; an insert extending vertically from the first support surface of the base pan for mounting the fowl; wherein the first supporting surface of the base pan rests in a cooking apparatus to allow for roasting of the fowl in a vertical manner, and the second supporting surface of the base pan rests in the cooking apparatus to allow for roasting of the fowl in a horizontal manner.
1. A device for roasting fowl, comprising:
a base pan shaped to have a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface;
an insert extending vertically from the first support surface of the base pan for mounting the fowl;
wherein the first supporting surface of the base pan rests in a cooking apparatus to allow for roasting of the fowl in a vertical manner, and the second supporting surface of the base pan rests in the cooking apparatus to allow for roasting of the fowl in a horizontal manner.
2. The device for roasting fowl as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a support is pivotally attached to a circumferential flange of the base pan to assist in the stability of the device when the fowl is roasting in a horizontal manner.
3. The device for roasting fowl as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the support is a “U” shaped member.
4. The device for roasting fowl as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the “U” shaped member has two ends pivotally attached to the circumferential flange, and is allowed to be pivoted to a retracted position where the “U” shaped member is positioned below the circumferential flange and substantially parallel to the first supporting surface, and to a unfoldable position where the “U” shaped member and the second supporting surface are substantially in a same plane to rest on the cooking apparatus.
5. The device for roasting fowl as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second supporting surfaces are elliptic and adjoin at an angle to form the base pan.
6. The device for roasting fowl as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first and second supporting surfaces adjoin at a right angle or an obtuse angle.
7. The device for roasting fowl as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insert is in the form of a round-head conical member.
8. The device for roasting fowl as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insert is constructed integral with the base pan by injection molding.
9. The device for roasting fowl as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base pan and the insert are made of aluminum on which a nonstick coating is coated.
10. The device for roasting fowl as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insert is about 15 cm or above in length.
11. The device for roasting fowl as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insert is about 15-20 cm in length.
