A cooking grate includes a peripheral frame defining a periphery of the cooking grate, a plurality of fingers extending from the peripheral frame toward a center of the cooking grate, and a slot formed in the peripheral frame, the slot forming a passageway through the peripheral frame from a lower portion to an upper portion thereof in the vertical direction.

The present invention relates to a steam system for a steam cooking appliance. The steam system includes a steam generator and a precipitator. The precipitator is arranged above the steam generator. The steam generator comprises two vertical heating pipe sections. Upper ends of the heating pipe sections are connected to a bottom side of the precipitator. Lower ends of the heating pipe sections are connected by a transverse pipe section. At least the heating pipe sections are at least partially enclosed by one of more heating elements. An inlet pipe is connected to the transverse pipe section at one end and connected or connectable to a water reservoir or water pump at another end. A return pipe is interconnected between the bottom side of the precipitator and the transverse pipe section. Further, the present invention relates to a corresponding steam cooking appliance.

A steam generator and a cooking device including the same, according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a water supply pipe into which steam water is introduced, a heating chamber having a chamber body and a chamber cover, and a steam heater configured to provide heat, wherein the steam heater is provided to be embedded in the chamber body and the chamber body includes a plurality of partition walls protruding in one direction along an inner peripheral surface to form a Z-shaped steam flow path through which supply water introduced into the chamber body and steam generated by heating the supply water flow. Therefore, the heat transfer, which had been concentrated only in a predetermined region, may be dispersed by the flow path formed in the chamber body, thereby stably generating the steam even in repetitive steam generation operation.

Disclosed is an oven comprising: an oven housing containing an oven chamber for containing foodstuffs to be cooked; an aperture formed in the oven housing for receiving liquid; and a vaporizer configured to receive liquid that is received by the aperture, vaporize the liquid into vapor, and convey the vapor into the oven chamber. Also disclosed is a vaporizer apparatus for use with an oven.

An oven appliance includes a plurality of sidewalls defining a cooking chamber, a door to selectively open and close the cooking chamber; and a bottom panel assembly removably provided within the cooking chamber. The bottom panel assembly includes a panel defining an aperture, a front air deflector attached to the panel at the aperture, and a retention clip provided within the cooking chamber, the retention clip defining a receiving slot to selectively receive the panel when the panel is in an installed position.

An exterior material of a home appliance having improved corrosion resistance and fingerprint resistance by changing a treatment method of a surface of the exterior material, and the home appliance including the same, and a manufacturing method therefor are provided. The method of manufacturing the exterior material of the home appliance, the method including applying a diamond like carbon (DLC) coating on the substrate to form a DLC coating layer; and conducting anti-fingerprint coating to form the anti-fingerprint coating on the DLC coating layer.

An oven can include an oven body including a set of interior panels. A set of exterior panels are spaced from the set of interior panels such that a channel is defined between the set of interior panels and the set of exterior panels. The set of interior panels includes an interior panel peripheral wall and an interior panel top wall that at least partially define a cooking cavity. Each interior panel of the set of interior panels has an inner surface and an outer surface. The oven further includes an imaging device with a field of view including at least a portion of the cooking cavity. The oven also comprises a damper coupled to the oven body and to the imaging device for absorbing mechanical vibrations associated with airflow generated by the fan.

Aspects of the disclosure generally relate to an insulation film, including a thermal insulation film or an insulation film for a cooking appliance. The insulation film can include a substrate, a first layer comprising silver nanowires proximate to the substrate, and a second layer comprising porous alumina proximate to the first layer and distal from the substrate.

The Accelerated Slow Roasting Apparatus is a device for slow-and-low cooking a whole previously butterflied-prepared animal carcass comprising a closed cooking chamber with a plurality of adjustable air vents arranged on the bottom edge of the cooking chamber and a plurality of adjustable opening vents on a vertical side of the lid of the cooking chamber, and a slide out cooking grate with adjustable rails to support the grate while out of the cooking apparatus, a plurality of removable cooking fuel trays, wherein the cooking grate is positioned between twenty-five and forty centimeters above the cooking fuel trays to enable a flame-flare-up free, time-accelerated, slow-and-low cooking of the animal carcass in half, or less than half, of the traditional sixteen to twenty-two hours cooking time.
