- 11. The combination of a disposable bag for cooking comestibles and a cooking utensil or accessory, said utensil or accessory having a vertically extending bag-supporting means comprising a manually manipulatable means which is displaceable between first and second positions to open, by spreading, and close, by collapsing, a bag as aforesaid; said bag being made of a flexible material and having side walls and closable open and closed ends at the opposite ends of the side walls; said bag being disposed in the bag-supporting means with its closable open end uppermost; said bag also including seams between said side walls and spaced from said side walls toward the center of the bag to keep the contents of the bag from leaking therethrough and openings through said side walls adjacent the closable open end of the bag and at intervals therearound for effecting connections between the open end of the bag and the upper part of the bag-supporting means, said openings being spaced inwardly of said seams; and said bag-supporting means having means which extend through said openings and cooperate with the bag to so fix said bag to the bag-supporting means that said closable end of said bag can be opened and closed by manipulation of the manually manipulatable means of the bag-supporting means.
- 12. The combination of a disposable bag for cooking comestibles and a cooking utensil or accessory, said utensil or accessory having a bag-supporting means and said bag being made of a flexible material and having side walls; open and closed ends at the opposite ends of the side walls; and pockets at the open end of the bag and at intervals therearound for effecting connections between the open end of the bag and the bag-supporting means, said pockets having closed ends facing the open end of the bag and open ends facing the closed end of the bag.
- 13. A combination as defined in claim 12, wherein said pockets are formed by a cuff integral with the side walls of the disposable bag, said cuff having a free edge extending around and facing the closed end of the bag and seams between said cuff and the portions of the side walls facing said cuff, said seams extending longitudinally of said bag.
- 14. The combination of a disposable bag for cooking comestibles and a cooking utensil or accessory, said utensil or accessory having a bag-supporting means and said bag being made of a flexible material and having side walls; open and closed ends at the opposite ends of the side walls; and spaced apart connecting means at the closed end of the bag for effecting connections between the bag and the bag-supporting means, at least one of said connecting means comprising pockets having closed ends facing the open end of the bag and open ends facing the closed end of the bag.
