A rotisserie device useful in a partially opened, hinged, covered grill includes a support ring that is shaped and configured to inhibit airflow into and out of the grill when the cover is partially opened. The support ring includes one or more cover supporting portions or chocks that hold the cover and base apart when the cover is partially opened, and one or more apertures through the ring that can receive a rotatable spindle which serves as or which drives a removable, rotatable rotisserie spit.

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 meat grill installation for preparing large quantities of meat, and a method of preparing such large quantities of meat. Embodiments of the meat installation comprise various features, including a detachable horizontal cylindrical carrier comprising a series of meat fixators, a motor, heaters, at least two position adapters for maintaining each individual heater at a predetermined distance from the cylindrical carrier, at least one temperature sensor, a conveyer belt located underneath the cylindrical carrier for receiving and transporting heated meat, a cutter for removing a slice of a predetermined thickness of meat from the detachable cylindrical carrier, and at least one controller for driving the motor, for maintaining and/or adapting a temperature of each individual heater, for driving the at least two position adapters, for receiving the sensor output, for providing feedback to at least one heater, and for controlling thickness of slices of meat.

The rotisserie oven assembly includes a housing that may contain a food item. A processor is coupled to the housing. A transceiver is coupled to the housing. The transceiver is operationally coupled to the processor. A motor is coupled to the housing. The motor is operationally coupled to the processor. A rotisserie is operationally coupled to the housing. The rotisserie is operationally coupled to the motor. The motor moves the rotisserie. A door is operationally coupled to the housing. The door closes the housing. A cutting board is coupled to the door. The door is positionable in a deployed position. The cutting board may have a food item positioned thereon. A heating element is coupled to the door. The heating element cooks the food item.

A belted food warmer assembly is disclosed that includes a housing containing a heated rotating drum, a belt roller, and a belt. The belt is draped over a portion of the heated rotating drum and is configured to hold a flexible food product against the heated drum as the food product rotates with the heated drum.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a multi-function cooking oven having horizontally and vertically oriented heating elements and cooking functions that configure horizontal and vertical position, horizontal and vertical rotation, radiation and superheated air circulation for cooking food within the oven enclosure. Cooking functions include horizontal rotisserie, vertical rotisserie, baking, warming, dehydrating, pizza, barbecuing, kebabs, toasting, boiling, and air frying. Depending on the cooking function, a timer is set for turning on and off the horizontally and vertically oriented heating elements and a fan providing heated airflow within the oven enclosure. The timer also controls rotation of a vertical axis turntable assembly and a horizontal spit assembly configured with or without a wire drum. In an air fryer function configuration, a wire cage containing food is mounted in close proximity to the vertically oriented heating element on the back wall of the oven enclosure vertically oriented heating element and rotated to bring the food into a superheated region of the oven close to the vertically oriented heating element. Operating in a baking function, the turntable assembly is mounted within in a bottom slot of the oven with its mechanical gear linkage set in a first position to engage a motor for vertical axis rotation of the baked goods. When operating in a pizza cooking function, the vertical axis turntable assembly is mounted within a slot in the middle of the oven enclosure with its gear linkage rotated into a second position to engage the motor for vertical axis rotation of the turntable.

A system and method for cooking food on a rotisserie in a conventional oven includes setting an oven thermostat to a desired cooking temperature. As spring on a mechanical drive motor is wound and a spit is placed through meat. The spit is then placed on a support to hold the meat in a substantially horizontal position, and the spit is coupled to a mechanical drive motor. The oven rotisserie and meat are placed into the oven to commence a cooking operation. The spit is rotated intermittently via the mechanical drive motor during the cooking operation in accordance with operation of an escapement and gear of the mechanical drive motor. The oven rotisserie and meat are removed from the oven after completion of the cooking operation.

A rotisserie device useful in a partially opened kettle grill includes a support ring that is shaped and configured to inhibit airflow into and out of the grill when the cover is partially opened. The support ring includes one or more cover supporting portions or chocks that hold the cover and base apart when the cover is partially opened, and one or more apertures through the ring that can receive a rotatable spindle which serves as or which drives a removable, rotatable rotisserie spit.

A multi-power-source motor assembly for a rotisserie includes: a housing with a receiving space, in whose lower portion a battery or a mobile power pack can be mounted; a fixing base mounted in an upper portion of the receiving space; a motor and a reduction gear unit, both mounted on the fixing base, wherein the reduction gear unit has an input gear meshing with the motor and an output gear provided with an output shaft for connecting with a spit; battery connections and a mobile power pack socket, both mounted in the lower portion of the receiving space, wherein the battery connections are connectable to the battery, and the mobile power pack socket is connectable to the mobile power pack; and a power switch mounted on the housing and electrically connected to the battery connections, the mobile power pack socket, and the motor in order to control power supply to the motor.
