Exemplary embodiments of a system for conversion of a kamado cooker to a griddle comprises a support rack and a griddle component. The support rack is configured to seat within a lower bowl portion of the kamado cooker and define a plurality of vertical post structures. The griddle component defines a sloped cooking surface and comprises a rim aspect at least partially surrounding the sloped cooking surface and a drain slot. The griddle component is configured to be received by the plurality of vertical post structures of the support rack. When in use, grease on the sloped cooking surface is directed to the drain slot which discards the grease into combusting fuel (such as charcoal) beneath the griddle component, thereby mitigating or preventing grease fires.

The present invention relates to a divided cookware device. During use, the device separates food during cooking and keeps said food warm after cooking. The device is primarily comprised of a body with at least one divider and at least one handle. The body may be any style of cookware body, wherein the divider wall forms at least one food area within the body. The divider wall is preferably made from the same material as the body, wherein said material conducts heat.

The present invention relates to a pizza cooking stone device. The device is comprised of a body, further comprised of at least one handle and a bottom surface having at least one rotating disc or at least one foot. The handle allows the device to be easily carried to and from an oven. Further, the rotating disc allows the body to rotate while being used to serve pizza. The foot prevents the bottom surface of the body from touching the surface that the device is placed onto to avoid damaging the surface due to the heat of the body.

Repellent coatings for solid surfaces that repeatedly are subjected to high temperatures cycles are disclosed. The repellent coatings on such surfaces are formed from a formulation having (i) one or more reactive silane or siloxane components that can form a bonded layer on the surface in which the bonded layer comprises an array of compounds each compound having one end bound to the surface and an opposite end extending away from the surface, (ii) an acid catalyst, and (iii) a solvent. A lubricant can be included in the formulation or applied on a formed bonded layer. The surface of the substrate and repellent coating thereon are subjected to a temperature of above and below 65° C. as a cycle and the cycle repeated at least twice.

The embodiments disclose a universal heat module insert device for heating food in predetermined transport containers including at least one heat module insert device coupled to interior sides of predetermined transport containers configured for heating food at predetermined temperatures while the food is being transported, at least one battery coupled to the at least one heat module insert device for powering heating plates, a heating plate coupled to the at least one battery configured to heat food, an electronic control board coupled to the heating plate to adjustably set heating plate temperatures, a back support coupled to the at least one heat module insert device configured to provide structural support, and a heat transfer protective piece coupled to the heating plate configured to shield the heating plate.

The present invention relates to a non-stick coating comprising a transparent finishing coat, said finishing coat comprising at least one thermostable resin and fillers whose d50 is greater than the average thickness of said finishing coat.

The present invention relates to a sol-gel coating composition comprising conductive fillers, intended to make a culinary article compatible with induction.

A process for manufacture of a profiled non-stick pan with a concave-convex pattern, which includes the following steps: preparing a flat blank for forming a pan body; screen printing a layer of ink with a predetermined pattern on a surface of the blank for a pan body, then drying and curing the ink; etching, by an etching process, the surface of the blank, on areas of the surface not covered by the ink, then cleaning and drying the blank, and retaining the ink; spraying non-stick pan coating on the blank, then baking the blank at high temperature, to enable the ink to automatically peel off at high temperature; pressing and stretching the blank to form a profiled pan body, then deburring and polishing on an edge of the pan body.

The embodiments disclose a method including warming food in an integral heat tray insert of a food container, generating heat in the food container using electrical impedance of a plurality of heat dispersing elements, using a control printed circuit board assembly coupled to a power button for activating and controlling electrical components including the plurality of heat dispersing elements, adjusting heat temperatures from the plurality of heat dispersing elements for warming food to a comfortable and safe heat level, using at least one rechargeable battery pack coupled to the control printed circuit board assembly with a power button for activating electrical components including the plurality of heat dispersing elements, and transmitting food status information to a user and receiving user instructions from a user digital device using a food warming system application which includes a timer and variable heat control.

Cookware surfaces of metal, such as aluminum, may include a nonstick coating and embedded hard metal mesh. The mesh protects the nonstick coating between interior regions within the mesh from being cut or abraded by knives and other tools. The nonstick coating is applied to a surface having an arithmetic average roughness (R.sub.a) of greater than 160 microinches and less than 289 microinches.
