Abstract
A compartmented cooking device for simultaneously cooking a plurality of articles on a flat heated surface has an outer wall around the perimeter of an area and at least one internal wall within the area for defining a plurality of compartments for receiving a material to be cooked and for maintaining the material separately on the heated surface. The compartments can be all of substantially equal area and shape, such as square, rectangular, triangular, rhomboid, trapezoid, circular, oval or any other shape, and are all open from both an upward direction and a downward direction. The walls of each compartment should have at least one marking thereon for delineating a desired level for insertion of material to be cooked. The device also has a handle for allowing it to be lifted off the griddle without a user having to touch the walls of the device.
