Abstract
A convenient serving-size pan (10) with flange (13), and flanged lid (11) removably attached by a hinge (14), enabling a wide range of pourable, particulate, and solid foods to be cooked in quantity in forced-air convection ovens. The pan and lid are fabricated of highly heat conductive materials with interior surfaces suitable for direct food contact. Exterior surfaces of the pans are smooth and plain to minimize insulative film coefficients and maximize heat transfer. A vertical stacking system provides effective use of oven space while maintaining sufficient space between pans for effective heat transfer.
