Abstract
A cake pan is formed from a flat wooden base and upstanding sides formed into a rectangular receptacle for receiving a paper liner folded from a single sheet of wax paper. The sides are formed from four panels of wood coupled together at right angle corners with the base slightly larger than the interior dimension of the frame so that the base can receive the whole of the frame. The use of wood for the sides and base surprisingly provides an improved baking process which allows more even cooking and a better consistency in the product.
Description
20~3230 WOODEN CAKE PAN
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a pan for use in baking comestibles from a mixed batter material of the type which includes a base and upstanding side walls so as to define a receptacle into which the batter material can be poured or placed for baking during which the material generally rises.
Such cake pans formed from metal or ceramic are well known and been available for many years.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
However it is one object of the present invention to provide an improved pan of this general type which surprisingly provides an improved baked product.
According to the invention, therefore, there is provided a pan for use in baking comestibles from a mixed batter material comprising a flat base, upstanding side walls arranged to stand up from the base to define a receptacle for receiving the batter material, and a paper liner shaped to cover an upper surface of the base and an inner surface of the side walls, the base and side walls being formed from wood.
Preferably the pan is formed with the flat base as a separate piece together with the side walls which are connected together to form a separate sleeve arrangement which can be placed upon the base. Preferably the base is larger ''~'' 2û~3230 than the interior dimensions of the side walls so that the side walls can sit on the base and can be lifted away from the base to release the baked product when finished.
Preferably the side walls are provided as four side walls connected together at right angle corners to define a rectangular shape of the pan which cooperates with a similarly shaped rectangular base. Alternatively the side wall can be formed into a cylindrical sleeve for circular cakes.
Preferably there is provided a liner formed of folded paper material preferably of the wax paper type which is shaped to lie against the base and the side walls.
With the foregoing in view, and other advantages as will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates as this specification proceeds, the invention is herein described by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, which includes a description of the best mode known to the applicant and of the preferred typical embodiment of the principles of the present invention, in which:
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Figure 1 is an isometric view of a pan according to the present invention.
Figure 2 is an exploded view of the pan of Figure 204323~
In the drawings like characters of reference indieate corresponding parts in the different figures.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The pan according to the present invention comprises a flat wooden base 10 formed from a plywood material and cut into a rectangular or preferably s~uare shape so as to form simply a thin flat wooden base of a thickness which is sufficient to be self supporting. A side wall section generally indicated at 11 includes four side walls formed from a thin wooden material which are connected together at right angle corners by simple butt joints together with a suitable fastening which is preferably nails applied through the face of one panel forming one side wall into an end face of the butting side walls at right angles thereto. The height of the side walls is sufficient to receive generally the height of a cake or similar baked product and shall be of the order of three inches in height. The dimensions of the base can of course vary but in one example will be of the order of nine inches square.
The base is slightly larger than the interior dimensions of the side walls so that the side walls can sit on the base but are entirely separate from the base and can be 2 0 ~ 3 -0 removed simply by lifting away from the base.
Within the frame defined by the side walls 11 and the base 10 is provided a paper liner 12 formed by folding from a larger square shape to define a flat base portion 13 and upstanding side ~alls 14 shaped to follow substantially exactly the shape and size of the base and upstanding side walls 10 and 11. The paper liner is folded or cut so that the uppermost edge is defined by the outer edge of the original paper blank and there are fold lines 15 and 16 at opposed ends of the rectangular shape so formed.
In operation the pan is assembled by mounting the frame on the base and then by lifting the liner into the erected position from an initial flat folded position and then inserting the liner into the receptacle defined by the base and frame. With the liner so in place, the batter material is introduced into the liner and spread to the side edges preferably with a slightly raised edge around the periphery.
Baking regularly takes place at a temperature at the order of 350 F (180 C). Surprisingly the manufacture of the pan from wood does not cause damage to the pan itself during the baking process. In view of the insulating properties of the wood, scorching of the batter material at the side edges and the base is prevented.
20~3230 In addition the paper liner prevents any contamination of the wood on the cake or vice versa so the pan remains always clean without the necessity for any scrubbing or washing. The wood can also ripen or improve with age.
Since various modifications can be made in my invention as hereinabove described, and many apparently widely different embodiments of same made within the spirit and scope of the claims without departing from such spirit and scope, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not in a limiting sense.
