A radiation grill includes a housing, radiators, which are arranged in the housing, a roasting drum for receiving roast product, which may be rotatably arranged in the housing between the radiators, and a drive in order to set the roasting drum into rotation. A temperature sensor is configured for measuring the temperature of roast product in the roasting drum.

An air fryer oven has a front opening and in inner cavity in an oven body, a door, an inner bracket with a support frame, an inner base plate, a rotating cage; a blower and a heater, and a motor to rotate the cage. Hot air in the circulates through the cavity to air fry food placed in the rotating cage.

A food processing apparatus includes a pressure vessel defining a compartment having an inlet end for receiving food product and an outlet end for discharging food product, an open-top screen mounted within the compartment and movable relative to the compartment between a first position, for food processing, and a second position, to facilitate cleaning, a rotatable auger mounted such that at least a portion of the auger is within the screen, the auger being operable to advance food product within the compartment from the inlet end of the pressure vessel toward the outlet end, and a transfer mechanism including a conduit in communication with the compartment, a fluid discharge positioned substantially within the conduit, and a pressurized fluid source in communication with the fluid discharge and operable to propel a fluid through the fluid discharge to move food product through the conduit.

Exemplary embodiments of a system and method for improving rotisserie grilling applications are disclosed. The system may include a support frame comprising at least one central shaft, a first side shaft, and a second side shaft. The system may also include a basket coupled to the two side shafts. The basket may comprise a locking device that couples to the first side shaft and a side shaft engagement mechanism that couples to the second side shaft. The basket may define a volume for receiving foodstuff. The side shaft engagement mechanism may comprise a clamp, such as clamp having a substantially c-shaped geometry. The support frame may further comprise a side shaft mounting unit that receives the one central shaft within a central portion of its geometry. The side shaft mounting unit may further comprise cylindrical shaped couplers for holding two side shafts relative to the central shaft.

A cooking apparatus includes a cooking container, a heater, a driving unit, and a heat insulating member. The cooking container is configured to store food. The heater is configured to heat the cooking container. The driving unit includes a power generator configured to generate power for rotating the cooking container and a driving shaft extending in one direction and rotated by the power generator. The heat insulating member is provided between the cooking container and the power generator to prevent heat generated by the heater from being transferred to the power generator.

A countertop electric appliance optimally performs a variety of cooking modes with both radiant and convective heat sources as well as control means for controlling the timing and intensity of the heat sources. A driver turns food about either a horizontal or a vertical axis of rotation suitable for the specific food and recipe. A hinged door supports the food to be cooked so that in one location the food is caused to be turned by the drive means and in another location the food is loaded into or removed from the appliance, external of the cooking compartment, to be easily handled by the operator.

The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for drying and/or roasting beans for foodstuff, such as cocoa beans, or parts of beans, such as cocoa nibs, comprising a frame, a drum (2) for receiving the beans or parts of beans rotatably mounted in the frame and at least partially closed at one end (3) and open at the other (4), a shell (5) enveloping the drum (2), a door (7) for closing the open end (4) of the drum (2), a heater (19) for heating the drum (2), and a fan and a valve (26) for maintaining an underpressure in the space (20) between the drum (2) and the shell (5). A seal (30) is located in the clearance between the drum (2) and the shell (5).

The present invention regards an oven for cooking products, particularly foods, if desired for frying or cooking frozen products or fresh, breaded products.

The food-coating device comprises a drum, a rolling stand, and a motor. The drum may apply a breading mixture to a plurality of food items. The plurality of food items and the breading mixture may be placed within the drum. The drum may be spun by the motor to tumble the plurality of food items and the breading mixture such that the plurality of food items are coated with the breading mixture. The drum and the motor may be supported by the rolling stand. A door may pivot open to provide access to the interior of the drum. A door gasket may seal the door when the door is closed.

The present invention relates to an air-based fryer apparatus (10) for preparing food. The apparatus (10) comprises a base part (12) comprising an upper support (14) and a gearing system (16) to generate a rotation force around a vertical rotation axis (18). The apparatus (10) further comprises a container (20) arranged on the upper support (14) and a food basket (22) with an air-permeable bottom part (24). The food basket is placed inside the container (20) such that a lateral gap (26) is arranged between walls of the container and walls of the food basket (22), and such that a bottom gap (32) is arranged between the bottom part of the container and said air-permeable bottom part (24). The apparatus (10) further comprises an upper lid device (34) arranged on top of the container (20). The upper lid device comprises a system (36) with primary heating means (38) and air ventilation means (40) for generating a flow of hot air in the lateral gap (26), in the bottom gap (32), and in the food basket (22). The gearing system (16) is adapted to provide a relative rotational movement at least between food arranged in the food basket and the flow of hot air in the food basket (22). This invention allows enhancing possibilities for the food preparation.
