A digital thermometer for cooking includes an outer casing having a bottom wall that defines a closed lower end and a side wall that projects upwardly from the bottom wall to define an open upper end, and a housing for electronic components disposed inside the outer casing and being surrounded by the side wall of the outer casing. A printed circuit board is disposed inside the housing, and a microprocessor and a visual display component are mounted on the printed circuit board. An insulating assembly is disposed inside the outer casing and is located between the bottom wall of the outer casing and the housing containing the electronic components. A temperature sensing probe projects from the bottom wall of the outer casing for obtaining temperature readings and transmitting the temperature readings to the microprocessor. The side wall of the outer casing is spaced from the housing to define a heat vent for dissipating heat.

A deep fryer and related methods of frying a whole turkey in a reduced cooking oil volume. A frying basin can have a rounded profile avoiding dead spaces within the frying basin. The frying basin can include a recessed channel at a bottommost portion of the frying basin to accommodate a heating element, such that the heating element does not project above a floor of the frying basin. The deep fryer can have a rotisserie assembly for mounting and rotating the whole turkey such that only a lower half of the whole turkey is submerged within the cooking oil at any one time. The deep fryer can include a kick-stand feature that allows a user to lower and raise the rotisserie assembly including the whole turkey using only one hand such that a user need not lean over or otherwise put their hands or body above the frying basin.

A cooking device (1) for cooking foods on a barbecue includes a support frame provided with two longitudinal members (12) and at least one food-holding grill (10) pivoted between the longitudinal members (12). The cooking device (1) is provided with a control transmission formed by at least one sprocket (14, 305, 425) connected to the grill (10) and engaged with a chain (15, 302, 303, 424), the chain (15) being actuated by a motor (16) controlled by a timer (17) for automatically inverting the grill (10) around the corresponding axis of rotation (X). The control transmission is adapted to mechanically and periodically invert the grid (10), allowing a uniform cooking of the food.

A solid fuel cooking range is described herein. Embodiments enable the user to cook food on an upper grill while simultaneously heating a separate dish in a lower oven. In certain embodiments, heat may be applied to the oven from both the top and bottom. Heat and airflow may be controlled using a shroud which does not enclose the sides of the upper cooking area and separate end plates. Embodiments may be portable and lightweight which enables the solid fuel cooking range to be used while traveling and in emergency situations.

An air fryer with a flip function includes a body and an internal cavity installed in a lower interior of the body. A first wind wheel is mounted on an inner side at an upper end of the internal cavity. A heating pipe is installed below the first wind wheel. A partition is arranged above the internal cavity within the body. A cold circulation channel is formed between the internal cavity, the partition and the body. A second wind wheel is mounted on an upper end of the cold circulation channel. A detachable flip rack is horizontally provided in a middle portion of the internal cavity. A drive motor is arranged on an outer side of the internal cavity to drive one end of the detachable flip rack to rotate. An opening is provided on one side of the inner cavity. A flip openable panel is provided at the opening.

A cooking appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, a heating element, a first false wall, a second false wall, and a spit rod. The cabinet may define a cooking chamber. The cooking chamber may extend along a lateral direction between a first chamber side and a second chamber side. The heating element may be mounted within the cabinet. The first false wall may be slidably positioned within the cooking chamber at the first chamber side. The second false wall may be slidably positioned within the cooking chamber at the second chamber side. The spit rod may define a rotation axis from a first rod end to a second rod. The first rod end may be attached to the first false wall to slide therewith. The second rod end may be attached to the second false wall to slide therewith.

A multi-purpose barbecue grill has a body, at least one lower grate, an upper grate, a rotating skewer assembly, a heating assembly, and a drip pan. The body has a base, a back sheet, and two side walls. The base is disposed at a bottom of the body. The back sheet is mounted on a front surface of the base. The two side walls are mounted to two side surfaces of the base respectively. Each one of the two side walls has multiple supporting sets disposed on an inner surface thereon. The at least one lower grate is detachably mounted to two corresponding supporting sets of the two side walls. The upper grate is mounted to the two side walls of the body. The rotating skewer assembly is detachably mounted in the body. The heating assembly is rotatably mounted in the body. The drip pan is detachably disposed on the base of the body.

A cooking appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, a plurality of electric heating elements, a heat shield, and a vapor catalyst. The cabinet may define a cooking chamber and an exhaust path downstream therefrom to direct vapor from the cabinet through an exhaust outlet. The plurality of electric heating elements may be mounted within the cabinet. The heat shield may be mounted within the cabinet. The heat shield may extend along a shield plane from a first end to a second end. The vapor catalyst may be mounted within the exhaust path above the heat shield and rearward from the exhaust outlet to receive and clean vapor from the cooking chamber upstream from the exhaust outlet.

A cooking appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, a plurality of electric heating elements, and a heat shield. The cabinet may define a cooking chamber and an exhaust path downstream therefrom to direct vapor from the cabinet. The plurality of electric heating elements may be mounted within the cabinet. The heat shield may be mounted within the cabinet. The heat shield may extend along a shield plane from a first end to a second end. The heat shield may define a plurality of vent channels spaced apart along the shield plane from the first end to the second end. The plurality of vent channels may be disposed in fluid communication between the cooking chamber and the exhaust path.

Apparatus (10) for cooking food comprising: at least one heating stage (30, 40); a conveyor system (50) defining a predetermined path (60) extending from a loading region (70), through the at least one heating stage (30, 40), and onward to an unloading region (80); and means (100) for releasably holding food on the conveyor system (50) as the food on the conveyor system is transported through the at least one heating stage (30, 40).
