Electric Stove Antifouling Collar System

Abstract

A metal collar having an upper lip and expanded lower lip and a plurality of exhaust holes used in combination with an flexible metal skirt, preferably made of aluminum, that extends outwardly from the lower lip of the metal collar with the metal collar and skirt placed on top of an electric stove with a cooking element to receive a cooking receptacle. The invention disclosed herein allows for cleaner and more efficient cooking.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An antifouling collar system comprising:
 an antifouling collar made of a conductive metal comprising an upper lip with an upper edge at a proximal end, a base at a distal end wherein the base has a bottom face, and a continuous side wall formed between the upper lip and the base which angles outwardly from the upper lip, said upper lip defining a central opening;   a flexible metal skirt laid over the antifouling collar such that the flexible metal skirt cover the upper lip but leaves the central opening clear and which extends at least six inches beyond the base when laid over the antifouling collar;   a cooking receptacle placed on top of the central opening; and   an electric stove.   
     
     
         2 . The antifouling collar system of  claim 1  wherein the antifouling collar is made of aluminum. 
     
     
         3 . The antifouling collar system of  claim 1  wherein the antifouling collar is made of iron. 
     
     
         4 . The antifouling collar system of  claim 1  wherein the flexible metal skirt is made of aluminum foil. 
     
     
         5 . The antifouling collar system of  claim 1  wherein the side wall further comprises a plurality of circular apertures centrally placed throughout the side wall. 
     
     
         6 . The antifouling collar system of  claim 1  wherein the central opening is circular. 
     
     
         7 . An antifouling collar comprising:
 a conductive metal comprising an upper lip with an upper edge at a proximal end, a base at a distal end wherein the base has a bottom face, and a continuous side wall formed between the upper lip and the base which angles outwardly from the upper lip, said upper lip defining a central opening; and   a flexible metal skirt laid over the upper lip such that the flexible metal skirt cover the upper lip but leaves the central opening clear and which extends at least six inches beyond the base when laid over the antifouling collar.   
     
     
         8 . The antifouling collar of  claim 7  wherein the antifouling collar is made of aluminum. 
     
     
         9 . The antifouling collar of  claim 7  wherein the antifouling collar is made of iron. 
     
     
         10 . The antifouling collar of  claim 7  wherein the flexible metal skirt is made of aluminum foil. 
     
     
         11 . The antifouling collar of  claim 7  wherein the side wall further comprises a plurality of circular apertures centrally placed throughout the side wall. 
     
     
         12 . The antifouling collar of  claim 7  wherein the central opening is circular. 
     
     
         13 . An antifouling collar system comprising:
 an antifouling collar made of a conductive metal comprising an upper lip with an upper edge at a proximal end, a base at a distal end wherein the base has a bottom face, and a continuous side wall comprising a plurality of circular apertures formed between the upper lip and the base which angles outwardly from the upper lip, said upper lip and said base defining a circular central opening and circular base;   an aluminum foil skirt laid over the antifouling collar such that the flexible metal skirt cover the upper lip but leaves the central opening clear and which extends at least six inches beyond the base when laid over the antifouling collar;   a cooking receptacle placed on top of the central opening; and   an electric stove.   
     
     
         14 . The antifouling collar system of  claim 13  wherein the antifouling collar is made of aluminum. 
     
     
         15 . The antifouling collar system of  claim 13  wherein the antifouling collar is made of iron.
