DEFINITION

Classification: 99/385

(under subclass 324) Cooking apparatus peculiarly adapted to support food material in the form of a slice while undergoing heat treatment. The support is noncontinuous, such as a grid, to permit direct action of the heat or heated vapor on the material and usually has portions cooperating with both sides of the slice.

(1) Note. When the material treated is bread, the operation

is known as toasting, and when meat, as broiling.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

372+, for nonforaminous slice supports.

450, for single grids or surfaces, which although disclosed for receiving slices are not necessarily so limited, as by structural cooperation with both sides of the slice or delimiting the thickness thereof.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 126, Stoves and Furnaces,

14, and 41, for broiling devices associated with a general purpose stove or designed to be incorporated in such a stove as a part thereof.

219, Electric Heating,

450.1, for an electrical heating device having an exposed planar support surface (e.g., hot plate, etc.) intended for food.
