oven is disclosed. A center beam is supported by multiple support members
each having a first and a second leg. The first end of each leg rests on
the floor of the oven, and these leg ends are spaced apart so as to
accommodate a container underneath the apparatus. The second end of each
leg is positioned at ajunction location along with the center beam. The
legs are adjustable in length so as to accommodate microwave ovens and
containers of varying sizes. A covering is placed over the apparatus to
prevent food splatters and to improve heating results. The apparatus may
include a clip or other holder which serves to secure the covering to the
apparatus. The entire apparatus may be disassembled for ease of storage or
