PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Frame for Receiving Viands for Cooking Purposes.
I, FRANZ MORITZ, of Aschaffenburg, in the Empire of Germany, Armour-plate
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
There are many viands or preparations of food, such as meat or fish, for the
table which for their preparation require to be deprived of skin or bones or filled
with suitable seasoning or stuffing and these are usually afterwards tied-round with
thread or cord or sewn or skewered together before roasting or cooking in order to
prevent the meat from falling apart or the stuffing from falling out.
The purpose of this invention is to avoid this somewhat tedious and sometimes
dirty manipulation by the aid of a peculiarly shaped frame described hereinafter,
into which the preparation of food is placed and which holds it during the operation
of cooking.
This frame consists of a more or less wide meshed wire-work cylinder, which
opens in two semi-cylindrical halves, these latter being hinged together and
provided with fasteners. This frame should be made in different sizes and forms
to suit all requirements in the kitchen, and when the prepared viand is placed
therein it is closed and held by means of any suitable fastening mechanism (for
instance by hook and eyes). This done the whole is hung up for roasting or
introduced into the baking-pan or boiling pot according to the kind of cooking
desired.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Frame for Receiving Viands for Cooking Purposes.
I FRANZ MORITZ, of Aschaffenburg in the Empire of Germany, Armour-plate
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
There are many viands or preparations of food, such as meat, fish, for the table,
which for their preparation require to be deprived of skin or bones, or filled with
suitable seasoning or stuffing and these are usually afterwards tied round with
thread or cord or sewn or skewered together before roasting or cooking, in order
to prevent the meat from falling apart or the stuffing from falling out. The
purpose of this invention is to avoid this somewhat tedious and sometimes dirty
manipulation by the aid of a peculiarly shaped frame, described hereinafter, into
which the preparation of food is placed and which holds it during the operation of
cooking.
This frame consists of a more or less wide-meshed wire-work cylinder, which
opens in two semicylindrical halves, these latter being hinged together and
provided with fasteners. This frame should be made in different sizes and forms to
suit all requirements in the kitchen and when the prepared viand is placed therein,
it is closed and held by means of any suitable fastening mechanism, for instance by
hooks and eyes; this done, the whole is hung up for roasting or introduced into
the baking-pan or boiling pot, according to the kind of cooking desired.
The annexed drawing shows this device in perspective view, it being shown
closed in Fig. 1 and open in Fig. 2.

hooks.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare, that what I
claim is
A frame for containing viands for cooking purposes, consisting of two hinged
semicylindrical or similar wire frames with fasteners for securing them together,
substantially as described.
