ABSTRACT:
A cooking device for traditional tacos is disclosed, comprised of a first mold half and second mold half, of identical crescent or arched shaped configuration. The center semi-circular central portion of the first mold half and second mold half is removed. A mold half securement device, such as spring-based clamp, is located at the apex of the present invention, and is used to secure the first mold half and second mold half together during deep frying. In the resting position, the bottom portions of the first mold half and second mold half are in mechanical interference with each other, held in place by the lateral force created by the mold half securement device. The mold half securement device is used to separate the bottom portions of the first mold half and second mold half so as to facilitate the insertion of a traditional taco within. The inside curvature of the first mold half and the second mold half, along with the mold half securement device, is designed and configured such that a taco shell can be filled with meat and placed between the first mold half and second mold half, securing the two mold halves with the mold half securement device, without undue squeezing of the taco so as to rupture the taco shell. As such, the present invention snugly secures a meat filled taco in place during deep frying. A handle portion is used to cook a single traditional taco, while to cook multiple tacos at once, a multi-cooking hole is placed in each mold half securement device, through which a multi-cooking rod is placed.
