surface engaging support means;

vertically extending erect means connected to said support means and over which the animal to be baked is draped;

means mounted to an elevated portion of the erect means and extending laterally outward therefrom causing a spreading of the interior cavity of the animal whereby heat will uniformly bake the interior and exterior of meat of the animal;

the erect means further comprising free end means having a central elevated location upon which seasoning and flavoring articles may be placed.
