Abstract:
1. An apparatus for toasting the inside surfaces of hinged, elongated sandwich buns, comprising: a rack member having a base adapted to be positioned above a heat source; a plurality of upwardly-extending, solid surfaced, inverted V-shaped bun support mounted on the base, each of the at least one bun support arranged to receive a partially open bun on an upper surface so the bun faces the heat source for toasting, the at least one bun support also including a lower surface that is entirely open at a bottom end to allow heat from the heat source to flow directly up to the lower surface; and upright, peripheral walls surrounding and enclosing the rack member but not having a floor between the walls, thereby preventing heat from reflecting off of a floor the peripheral walls being connected to peripheral edges of the base.
