Design
After conducting physical testing, finding a way to keep bacon in contact with the grease to preserve the flavor while not becoming heavily soaked became a high priority. This was accomplished when ideating via Blender on tray designs. A grease trap was added to the bottom of the tray, collecting the excess while, a small amount pools around the base of the rosette. To keep the bacon in its shape a post is used to keep it upright while a "cup" is used to hold its shape without expanding.
