Claim:
1. A one-piece, integral plate setter device constructed of rigid metal, said plate setter being a reversible structure characterized by first and second back-to-back horizontally-oriented cooking surfaces for the placement and/or retention of food items upon either surface, for the cooking or warming of said food items when proximate a heat source, said device comprising: (a) said first surface further comprising a circular plate bed having a plurality of evenly-spaced, parallel ribs, said ribs extending vertically upwards from said circular bed at a certain height; a raised perimeter circling an edge of the first surface, said raised perimeter extending vertically upwards from said circular bed a distance equal to the height of the ribs; a first wing, a second wing, and a third wing, said wings equally spaced around the first surface and extending horizontally outwards from the first surface a certain distance, whereat each wing constitutes an orthogonal downward bend to comprise three equal-length legs each leg having a front side with an integral centered vertical ridge, a back side having a forty-five degree brace, said braces being perpendicular to the first surface, and a beveled bottommost portion of the leg; (b) said second surface, being the integral bottom of said first surface, further comprising a flat circular plate having a first beam, a second beam, and a third beam, each of said beams originating from a common junction at a center of said second surface, each beam having a same certain height above the second surface, and each beam extending linearly from the junction outward to intersect the braces existing on the back side of the first leg, the second leg, and the third leg, respectively; wherein (c) food items are prepared either by means of arrangement of the upwardly-facing, horizontal arrangement of said first surface directly proximate said heat source or, by reversing the orientation of said first surface, exposing said second surface, for preparation of food items on said second surface proximate said heat source.
