Abbey Fleck
Template:Short description Abigail (Abbey) M. Fleck is an American child inventor, born in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is known for her 1993 invention, Makin' Bacon, a microwavable bacon cooking plate. This device, which she created at the age of 8, is an inch-deep, dual compartment tray made of microwave-safe plastic, containing three T-shaped beams protruding up from the center.[1] Abbey and her father, Jonathan Fleck, founded the A. de F. Ltd. company to manufacture this product. In 1996 their "microwave cooking vessel" was granted a U.S. Patent.[2] Following an endorsement from Armour, Fleck embarked on a promotional tour of her product, which included appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Late Night with David Letterman, and two features on Dateline NBC.[3]
