Abstract

A support panel is provided including a smooth upper surface and an upstanding abutment or bar extending along one margin of the panel. An open frame is pivotally supported from the upper surface of the panel adjacent the bar and is swingable between a closed position closely overlying the upper surface and a raised position extending upwardly from the upper surface, swung past a center vertical position and inclined against the bar. First and second superposed lower and upper sheets may be clamped between the frame and the panel upper surface when the frame is in the closed position and the inner periphery of the frame may be used to define predetermined boundaries of layers and areas of food materials to be placed upon the upper sheet prior to swinging of the frame to an open position and rolling the food materials in the upper sheet and thereafter wrapping the rolled upper sheet and food materials in the lower sheet.
