She came up with her idea after getting discouraged whenever she cooked meatballs. They always got flat and cooked unevenly in the frying pan or oven and would sit in their own grease \u2013 unhealthy as well as unappetizing. \u201cI just didn\u2019t like the way mine turned out,\u201d Jean said. \u201cI love to cook, although I\u2019m not that good; but I love to try new things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One day, she came up with a solution that would solve both problems. She found Davison and submitted her idea, and the design team went to work. The final product has a unique, rounded rack system that holds and preserves the shape of meatballs and other foods, enabling them to cook evenly while keeping them completely out of the grease.<\/p>\n<p>The product was licensed by a company specializing in extraordinary products for the home. Jean visited Davison while on vacation in 2007 to meet with those working on her project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been great \u2013 you guys are very knowledgeable,\u201d she said of her experience with Davison. \u201cI was new to all this and I learned a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A typical project does not get a royalty agreement, sell in stores or generate a profit.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/partyonthego.jpg\" alt=\"meatballbaker\" title=\"meatballbaker\" width=\"62\" height=\"97\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-576\" \/>Our client, Jean, visited us so we could celebrate her success.
