Abstract

A utensil primarily for use in cooking fat containing products such as bacon, frankfurters, sausage, hamburgers and the like, includes an outer shell supported on a base and an inner shell disposed within the outer shell and also supported on the base. The base includes a grease reservoir while the lower end of the inner shell includes apertures to permit flow of grease into the grease reservoir. Strip-like products such as bacon and the like are draped over the inner shell such that a portion thereof contacts the outer surface of the inner shell and another portion contacts the inner surface of the inner shell and another portion contacts the inner surface of the inner shell. Preferably, the inner shell extends vertically above the outer shell, the shells being made of a material which is transparent to microwave energy. The inner shell may support a platform on which other utensils may be placed or on which products to be cooked may be placed. Also, the inner shell may support an accessory for cooking elongated products such as frankfurters and sausage. Various forms are described.
