1. A device to secure comestibles and/or other items within a food preparation environment, comprising:
a first enclosure configured as a food preparation environment;
a generally planar tray including a generally flat substrate with a plurality of resilient fingers integrated into slots of the generally planar tray, the fingers configured to support comestibles and/or other items within the first enclosure,
a heat source configured to heat the food preparation environment within the first enclosure;
first coupling configured to position the generally planar tray in a vertical disposition within the first enclosure, while the generally planar tray is supporting comestibles and/or other items, and
second coupling configured to position the generally planar tray in a horizontal disposition within the first enclosure, while the generally planar tray is supporting comestibles and/or other items,
wherein comestibles and/or other items are supported within the first enclosure by the generally planar tray, when the tray is disposed a vertical disposition, and/or comestibles may be supported within the first enclosure by the generally planar tray when the tray is disposed in a horizontal disposition.
