Abstract:

A dual-purpose spatula-skimmer kitchen utensil provides a rigid, planar surface having a thin leading edge for being pushed beneath a food product (e. g. , cooking within a shallow frying pan or the like). A depression or concavity in the planar surface has perforations or holes therethrough which permit liquid to flow but trap small food particles. In a further embodiment, the depression is ramped and has substantially flat upper and lower surfaces. The utensil may be used for skimming and/or straining cooking liquids (e. g. , to filter food particles suspended in oil used in frying), and also for flipping or turning food products.

Abstract:

A home bakers' hearth accessory produces hearth-baked bread, pizza and the like in a common stove or range, these baked products having quality which is comparable to the breads produced in old world commercial-type bakers' ovens. An aluminum sheet formed with an upwardly extending flange on its peripheral edges contains and retains removeable quarry tiles to provide an improved means for baking perfect hearth-baked bread in a common stove or range oven.
