Abstract
A method for hand forming cooking utensils, a portion of the formed utensil being disposable. A wire frame is bent to define the shape, in plan view, of the desired cooking utensil. To form a two-dimensional cooking utensil, a foil means is wrappingly secured to the wire frame. To form a three-dimensional cooking utensil, the wire means is first deformed to conform to the perimetrical configuration of a mold means which is preferably a staple item of commerce such as a mayonnaise jar or a number 10 can. After removing the wire member from its surrounding engagement with the mold member, a foil means is manually made to conform to the shape of the mold means. The wire member is re-positioned about the perimeter of the mold means, spaced downwardly from the upstanding free end of the mold means, assuming such mold means is supported on one of its ends by a support surface, a predetermined distance equal to the depth of the desired cooking utensil. Securing the foil means about the periphery of the wire frame by reversely folding the foil and crimping the same provides the desired utensil when the frame and mold are separated. Handle means are integrally formed with the mold encircling-portion of the wire frame.
