Abstract:
A pizza oven may include an upper portion, a lower portion, and cooking surface apparatus located between the upper portion and the lower portion. The pizza oven may be configured to provide a consistent and an even cooking environment in an enclosed region defined by the upper portion.
Abstract:
A counter top electric appliance optimally performs a variety of cooking modes with both radiant and convective heat sources as well as control means for controlling the timing and intensity of the heat sources. A driver turns food about either a horizontal or a vertical axis of rotation suitable for the specific food and recipe. A hinged door supports the food to be cooked so that in one location the food is caused to be turned by the drive means and in another location the food is loaded into or removed the appliance, external of the cooking compartment, to be easily handled by the operator.
Abstract:
A device to bake farinaceous foods such as cakes, cookies, breads, pies, and pizzas more rapidly and flavorfully, with retention of desire food textures and reduced risk of burning by the use of intermittent application of radiant energy. The preferred embodiment rotates farinaceous ingredients in front of a radiant heat source. The preferred embodiment may control oven temperatures by regulating the amount of outside cool air fan forced into the oven cavity.
Abstract:
An oven includes one or more upper heating elements, a lower heating system, and a convection system. Electrical power is provided from a source via a controller to provide heat within a housing containing a support member for cooking a food item.
Abstract:
A pizza oven for a barbecue grill includes a base and a cover. The base has a plurality of sides extending therefrom and at least one open side. The cover has at least one side corresponding to the open side of the base. The base is placed upon the grill of the barbecue to be heated. The base and cover form an enclosed area for retaining hot air and for heating food. The cover has a temperature gauge and air vents for controlling the temperature in the oven.
Abstract:
A microwave oven includes a microwave cooking chamber and a heater cooking chamber provided separately from the microwave cooking chamber. A heating unit is installed in the heater cooking chamber. Further, a pan, on which a foodstuff is put, is inserted into the heater cooking chamber and a door openably closing the heater cooking chamber.
Abstract:
The oven includes a lower electrical heating element which is located below a support member. Two laterally spaced apart upper electrical heating elements are supported above the support member and the food to be cooked. An electrical system is provided for supplying electrical power to the lower electrical heating element and to the two upper electrical heating elements. A controller is provided for controlling electrical power applied to the lower heating element and to the two upper electrical heating elements. By way of a thermocouple, the controller senses the temperature in the oven and controls the lower heating element to maintain a set point temperature, i.e. 550° F., in the oven. When any of the upper heating elements is activated, and is in a broiling sequence the controller disables these upper heating elements if the temperature in the oven rises above an upper temperature level of i.e. 585° F.
Abstract:
The oven includes a housing and a support member located in the housing for supporting food to be cooked. A lower electrical heating element is located below the support member. Two laterally spaced apart upper electrical heating elements are supported above the support member and the food to be cooked. An electrical system is provided for supplying electrical power to the lower electrical heating element and to the two upper electrical heating elements. A control unit is provided for controlling electrical power applied to the lower heating element and to the two upper electrical heating elements to allow electrical power to be applied to each of the two upper electrical heating elements simultaneous or separately. The control unit includes a controller in which is stored a plurality of menus with each menu being assigned given cooking time and power level parameters for controlling electrical power to the upper heating elements for operating these heating elements either separately or together. A selection key is provided for selecting any one of the menus for cooking purposes. Three zone selection keys are provided for selecting the desired heating or cooking element-left, right or a combination of the left and right heating elements. After the cooking process, the controller automatically defaults back to a given menu, for example menu one.
Abstract:
A portable pizza oven comprising a fixed upper casing, a fixed lower casing, the upper and lower casings defining therebetween an opening, an upper heater assembly located within and fixed to the upper casing, a lower heater assembly located within and fixed to the lower casing, so as to define a cooking chamber which is located between the heater assemblies and which is accessible via the opening, and a pan assembly insertable into and removable from the cooking chamber, the pan assembly including a circular tray having a diameter of slightly greater than twelve inches, the pan assembly also including a handle fixed to the tray, such that, when the pan assembly is inserted into the cooking chamber, the handle closes the opening, thereby closing the cooking chamber.
Abstract:
An infra-red oven for cooking food at low wattage and with infra-red radiation having a wavelength of 3-6 micron is disclosed. The oven includes a rotatable turntable with a lower infra-red emitter disposed below the turntable and an upper infra-red emitter disposed above the turntable in a vertically moveable shroud. Opposed side emitters are deposed on either side of the turntable to cook the sides of the food. To utilize the oven the shroud is raised and food is placed on the turntable. The shroud is then lowered until the upper emitter is about 1.5 inches above the food and the turntable is rotated. Rotation continues as radiation is directed on to the lower and upper surfaces and the sides until the food is cooked.
