Abstract
A two-piece container for preparing and cooking food, such as a roaster oven, includes a main body having a bottom portion with sidewalls extending upwardly therefrom and a separate removable cover for covering the main body of the container. The cover includes a hinge clip having a first portion attached to a rear sidewall of the cover, and a second portion extending outwardly and downwardly from the first portion for insertion into an elongated slotted opening extending through a flange surrounding the periphery of a cookwell pan inserted within the main body of the container. The hinge clip acts as a hinge when opening the cover, and becomes engaged within the slotted opening for supporting the cover in an open position. In alternative embodiments, the cover and cookwell pan may include brackets, or the cookwell pan may include a bracket for mating with an elongated slotted opening in a rear sidewall of the cover for maintaining the cover in an open position on the main body of the container.
