ABSTRACT:
An accessory cooking container for toaster/ovens comprises a pan and a cover, the pan having a generally rectangular flat bottom surrounded by upstanding sidewalls and a peripheral flange extending outwardly from the tops of the sidewalls. A lip bounds the perimeter of the peripheral flange. In one embodiment, the cover comprises a flat top surrounded by downwardly extending sidewalls and a peripheral flange extending outwardly from the bottom edges of the sidewalls. The flange is sized to be accommodated within the lip of the bottom, wherein the cover is restrained from sliding off the bottom. The flange of the pan defines a slot through which the flange of the cover may be gripped to remove the cover. The cover is optionally provided with a heat-resistant glass window having high transmissivity to infrared energy mounted in an opening in the top thereof. In another embodiment, the entire cover is fabricated of glass having high transmissivity to infrared energy, whereby infrared energy impedes on food in the pan and on the interior surfaces of the pan to speed cooking of the food. The cooking container (except for the glass) is fabricated of aluminum coated on both its interior and exterior surfaces by black Teflon. Thus, the cooking container absorbs heat rapidly. In particular, when used in a toaster/oven having both top and bottom heating elements, balanced cooking between the top and bottom surfaces of the food item within the container is achieved.
