摘要： A cooking device that is capable of rapidly cooking food products such as in toasting bread products or cooking pizza. The cooking device uses air impingement from above and/or below the food product. In some cases an infrared heater is additionally used to impart a desired color and crunchiness about a surface of the food product. In some cases, a boost in thermal energy is applied to the bottom of the food product vis-null-vis the top thereof. In some cases, the boost is due to an extra heater, which may be gas or electric. The device is particularly adapted for toasting bread products, cooking sandwich products (toasting the bread and heating the sandwich filler) and/or cooking pizza. Rapid cooking times are achieved by delivering more thermal energy to the top or bottom of the food product, depending on the type thereof, to give quality and speed. For example, a pizza can be cooked to have a crisp bottom without burning a cheese topping.

摘要： Food cooking apparatus having a two conveyor belts, one of which is heated by a platen to provide a moving cooking surface. Since both belts are movable, they are operable to grip a bun heel or crown and convey it along a cooking path between the two belts without disfigurement of the bun. Also disclosed is a quick connect/disconnect feature that allows quick removal of one of the assemblies for cleaning, maintenance and/or belt replacement. This feature has a bracket member which when released allows the removable assembly to slidable disengage from the frame of the apparatus. The food cooking apparatus includes an electrical heating platen with a coil wound in a serpentine manner and spatially distributed to produce high temperature cooking in the early stage of cooking and lower temperature cooking in the later stages of cooking. The food cooking apparatus also includes a mechanism that responds to manual pushing of the idler roller to shift the idler shaft between a drive position and a belt slack position that allows easy and quick installation or removal of the endless belt.

摘要： A fryer system and a check valve useful in the fryer system or in other applications. The check valve does not require electricity or springs, but rather operates based on fluid flow and/or pressure. The check valve includes a sealing member that is disposed in a chamber. The chamber is in fluid communication with ambient air and a fluid container, such as a rear return manifold in the fryer system. As fluid, such as cooking oil, is supplied to the manifold, the cooking oil rises in the chamber of the floating check valve. The sealing member floats on the rising cooking oil until it seats in a seal so as to close the fluid communication with ambient. When the cooking oil is drained from the manifold, the sealing member disengages from the seal and floats in the chamber to a retainer that allows ambient air to pass through the fluid communications and chamber to counteract any vacuum in the ullage of the manifold.
