Abstract:
1. A device for cooking cannoli shells in a frying pan comprising: a main rack configured to hang on top of a rim of a frying pan and cook cannoli shells within the frying pan, the main rack having a flat longitudinal base with a length and a width, an upright member at each end of the base extending upward and transverse from the base, and a transverse member extending transversely from each upright member at a location spaced from the base, wherein the transverse members are configured to hang on top of the rim on opposing sides of the frying pan while enabling the main rack to hang below a fluid level within a frying pan and the upright members extend down into the frying pan, the base having a horizontal upper side and a lower side; a plurality of rods sized and shaped to have cannoli dough wrapped around each rod in the shape of a cannoli shell; and a plurality of clips each having a lower planar mating surface fastened to a corresponding upper planar mating surface of the base, and a pair of opposing side members extending away from the lower planar mating surface, the side members being biased to provide securing resistance about a central section of the rod such that each rod extends in a direction along the width of the base and entirely above the base when attached to one of the clips, the clips arranged end-to-end along the upper side of the base.
