Patent ID: 8151696

Claim:
Mold ( 1 ) for producing a batter-based food that swells under heat, which mold ( 1 ) comprises two cooking subassemblies ( 2 , 3 ) capable of moving one with respect to the other between an open position enabling the batter to be deposited and the cooked food to be removed, and a closed position in which the subassemblies define a cooking chamber, the two cooking subassemblies ( 2 , 3 ) including a lower cooking plate ( 4 ) and an upper cooking plate ( 5 ) that each gives shape to food obtained by cooking the batter, the lower cooking plate ( 4 ) comprising a peripheral wall ( 10 ) that peripherally delimits the cooking chamber, that extends vertically beyond a median plane of said chamber, and that includes, on a discharge portion ( 11 ), a lowered peripheral wall forming a discharge opening ( 30 ) enabling an excess of expanding batter to be discharged, characterized in that the discharge portion ( 11 ) of the peripheral wall ( 10 ) reaches a level closer to a base plane of the upper cooking plate ( 5 ) than to the median plane of the cooking chamber.
