Abstract
A container/mould constituted of a microwaveable, re-usable, recycleable material for the baking of tortillas and or wraps to create an edible bowl.
The invention is directed to the provision of a simple and inexpensive container/
mould which is comprised of certified foodgrade plastics, that can be used in a microwave oven.
The container is configured in a bowl shaped structure that has deeply fluted walls that are inwardly and outwardly curved, and a flat circular base.
The container/mould will enable a flat bread created from a variety of flours, but specifically wheat, to be pressed into the bowl which acts as a mould. The uniform temperature distribution created by microwaves essentially reduces the water content in the flatbread which dehydrates the bread in the mould allowing for a hardening of the bread.
Upon removal from the container/mould the flatbread retains the mould shape and can then be used as an edible serving vessel. The dehydrated bread retains the deeply fluted shape of the container/mould and makes an attractive alternative serving presentation for a variety of comestibles.

Description
SPECIFICATION
This invention relates to a microwaveable, foodgrade plastic container/mould for the even dehydration of flatbread products such as tortillas or wraps, to create an edible bowl.
Traditionally, the edible bowl has had to be deep fried using corn based products which can withstand high frying temperatures. Generally speaking the equipment necessary to create these edible flatbread bowls is primarily industrial.
For in-home use the consumer has to use a metal bowl that cannot be placed in the microwave and takes approximately 20 minutes to prepare in traditional electric or gas ovens. These metal style bowls are not easily obtainable and the cost is prohibitive. Usually the flutes have to be handformed and baking weights placed on the bottom of the bowl to maintain a useable shape when the bread products have been dehydrated.
In commercial applications the edible bowl products are not easy to source because the resulting bowls are very fragile and easily damaged upon transportation. In order to create the deep fried bowls, substantial amounts of fat are transferred to the final edible product which can be considered an undesirable result for health reasons, and the inherent dangers of deep fat frying are well documented.
These disadvantages are overcome by providing a container/mould that enables the bowls to be easily created at home in a microwave oven that allows the edible bowls to be created in less than 60 seconds, with no added fats or oils that could compromise health.
The microwaveable container/mould allows the consumer to prepare an edible bowl product at home in a cost effective, and simple and safe manner. In addition, the container/mould could be used in a commercial setting that would allow for the creation of these edible bowls for foodservice use which would bypass the danger of deep fat frying and all its inherent health and safety issues.
