Definitions

  • This invention concerns egg rings such as are used to contain an egg during frying on a hotplate or pan.
  • Small metal cylinders are made and used for this purpose and these rings may, or may not, have an external handle.
  • the ring In use the ring is placed on a hotplate or pan and the egg broken into the enclosed space. After frying the egg must be removed from the hotplate surface and the interior of the ring. Often the egg sticks to the ring during cooking and this not only makes removal of the egg difficult, but also renders the ring difficult to clean. Egg rings are, in any event, difficult to clean since by their nature they are exposed to high temperature fat. Disclosure of Invention
  • an egg ring comprising a band of flexible material openable at one point of its perimeter.
  • This arrangement has the advantages that it is easier .to remove the egg after cooking, and easier to clean the ring after use.
  • the band has a line of weakness on either side of which extends a tab, the arrangement being such that the band may be parted along the line of weakness by pulling the tabs apart from each other.
  • the bands may, of course, be of any desired shape, for instance a square or rectangular shape may conveniently provide a fried egg of a suitable size and shape to reside on a slice of toast.
  • the outer surface of the band may bear advertising or other slogans or symbols. This material will always be presented to the user in a clean and appealing condition since it is envisaged that the egg ring will be used once and then disposed of.
  • the egg ring may be made of a sufficiently large size to enable an omelet to be cooked within its bounds.
  • the band may be made of any material that is sufficiently rigid to stand upright and form an enclosed space, is sufficiently non-flammable, meltable or otherwise deformable at the cooking temperatures of frying eggs, and is non-toxic insofar as it cannot release toxic substances into the egg while it is being cooked.
  • Cardboard is a preferred material, but paper, metallic foil, some plastics materials, and some textile materials if properly treated may all suffice.
  • One embodiment comprises a cardboard supporting layer coated with a metallic interior layer, an alternative utilizes an interior coating of polymer.
  • the interior coating prevents ingress of egg and fat into the surface of the band.
  • the interior of the band may also have non-stick properties, but this is not essential since it is of little consequence if the egg sticks to the band.
  • Such bands may be made in large quantities from sheets of cardboard having one side coated with the desired substance.
  • a further advantage of providing a metalised internal layer is to assist in transmitting heat from the hotplate surface to the outer edge of the egg while it is being cooked. This may be particularly advantageous in ensuring the egg is cooked from below and at the sides while leaving the yolk runny as is traditionally preferred.
  • figure 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention
  • figure 2 shows a second preferred embodiment of the invention
  • figure 3 shows a third embodiment of the invention.
  • egg ring 1 comprises a band of material 2 made from a strip joined by adhesive material applied near both ends in the region 3.
  • the extreme ends of the strip being left to reside outside the band as a pair of tabs 4 and 5, sized so they may be conveniently gripped between the thumb and forefinger.
  • the adhesive join in the region 3 provides a line of weakness in the perimeter of band 2.
  • the egg ring 1 In use the egg ring 1 is placed on a hotplate or pan surface, either before heating commences or once the required cooking temperature is reached. If the ring is placed on the surface before fat is applied to the surface fat need only be applied to the area banded by the ring, and only the precise amount of fat required need be used. An egg is then broken from its shell and poured into the area banded by the ring 1.
  • the egg and ring may be picked up with aid of a slice, or similar implement, and placed on a plate or other receiving surface.
  • the two tabs 4 and 5 are then pulled apart, parting the band along the line of weakness in the region 3 and opening it.
  • the ring may then be disposed of.
  • the ring If the ring is not stuck to the egg it may, of course, be picked off the egg either before or after it is removed from the cooking surface. Should the egg have adhered to the interior surface of the ring it is of no consequence since the ring and that small portion of the egg adhered to it are removed together. Should the egg have leaked slightly out from underneath the ring it is also of no consequence, however, in this case a greater amount of egg may be lost along with the ring.
  • FIG 2 an alternative shaped ring is illustrated, the same reference numerals have been used as in the previous embodiment to identify corresponding features.
  • This shape of egg ring may be conveniently used to prepare a fried egg to be placed on toast.
  • Figure 3 shows a multiple egg ring 6 made from a single strip of material joined in three places by adhesive placed in the regions 3 to form three bands 2.
  • the multiple egg ring shown has only one pair of tabs 4 and 5 situated at one end, and these tabs may be used to part all three of the bands 2. Alternatively, tabs may be provided at other locations for instance at the further end 7 and possibly at the mid point 8. Of course multiple egg rings may be conveniently manufactured and used in other configurations.
  • the outer surface 9 of the rings of all the embodiments may conveniently be used for advertising, which may be printed or otherwise mounted thereon. This may be of great commercial benefit and provides significant advantages over prior art non-disposable egg rings insofar as the advertising material is always clean and hygienic during its entire working life.
  • Egg rings according to embodiments of the invention may conveniently be manufactured in large numbers from single sheets of material such as cardboard having a suitable metallic or polymer coating on one surface and being folded and stuck at the desired locations.
  • the individual rings may be conveniently separated from each other by means of perforations on the sheets.
  • egg rings according to the invention are not limited in size to rings suitable for frying one egg at a time, and larger egg rings can be provided within the scope of the invention for frying several eggs at once, or even for preparing omelets or other egg based foods.
  • the tabs need not be of the form shown and may be vertically extending from either side of the line of weakness, also the line of weakness need not be provided by an adhesive connection between two parts of a strip. Crimping is one preferred alternative for both making the rings from a strip of material and providing a line of weakness. But alternatively perforations may be provided in a ring constructed by other means in order to provide the line of weakness.

Abstract

Cercles analogues à ceux qui sont utilisés pour empêcher un oeuf de déborder quand on le fait frire sur une plaque chauffée ou dans une poêle. Les cercles déjà en usage se composent essentiellement de petits cylindres métalliques pourvus ou non d'une poignée extérieure. L'invention a ceci de particulier que les cercles consistent en une bande de matière flexible (2) dont les deux extrémités (3) sont maintenues ensemble par une matière adhésive et se terminent par des pattes à tirer (4, 5), ce qui permet de détacher lesdites extrémités, donc d'enlever les oeufs plus facilement quand ils sont cuits et de faciliter le nettoyage des cercles après usage.
