Food preparation apparatus and associated appliance modules and methods. Appliances modules can be selectively docked at docks of an appliance interface of a base. An appliance module includes a food container support surface movable between cooking and holding positions. An appliance module includes a receptacle having a holding well that can be selectively configured in a generally horizontal position or an inclined position.

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 turkey cooking apparatus provides a pot and a specially configured insert (e.g., basket) that rests upon the pot bottom. A lower funnel shaped section and upper tube shaped section are provided inside the pot. The insert (e.g., basket) sits upon funnel shaped portion. The insert has a central opening that is receptive of the tubed portion. Both the insert and the tube section can have openings that enable steam to travel upwardly to cook the turkey carcass.

Electromechanical Actuator for Rotating Grills refers to an electromechanical actuator used in rotating grills, barbecue grills, roasters or ovens for domestic or commercial purposes, enabling the use of this equipment in places or situations where there is no electricity available. The electromechanical actuator provides actuation by the use of batteries of any voltage, directly coupled to the grill's rotation system, composed of a small motor connected to a compartment where the batteries are placed, containing an actuation button. A single electromechanical actuator can be used for the rotating motion of rotating grills, barbecue grills or roasters.

A barbecue cooking apparatus is an apparatus used to cook food items by utilizing different barbecue smoking methods. The apparatus includes a barrel, a lid, a frame, a shelved cooking system, a venting system, and a winch mechanism. The barrel further includes a base, a lateral wall, and a rim. The barrel provides a thermal enclosure for cooking the food items. The lid serves to seal the barrel during the cooking process and to support the shelved cooking system. The shelved cooking system holds the food items within the barrel during the cooking process. The shelved cooking system further holds the fuel source utilized to generate energy to cook the food items. The frame serves to hold the winch mechanism offset from the rim. The winch mechanism facilitates the retrieval of the shelved cooking system from the barrel as well as the reintroduction of the same into the barrel.

The present invention discloses a movable type grill roaster. In the present invention, bucket depressions and a rod rolling part are provided in a chain. Accordingly, when grilling rods constituting a grill roasting plate are sequentially transferred via the chain, the grilling rods may be transferred while being rolled. The phenomenon in which meat adheres to the grilling rods is prevented. The sequentially supplied grilling rods are arranged at stable locations, and thus there is overcome the problem in which meat falls between the grilling rods constituting a grill roasting plate. When the grilling rods fall to a collection container, the falling grilling rods may be evenly distributed without being concentrated on any one point in the collection container via a fall guide piece. The convenience in use is improved during a grilling rod supply process, a meat roasting process, and a grilling rod collection process.

Disclosed is a stove having a top portion including a spark arrestor which includes a base assembly comprising a base ring, a base crown, a mesh side screen connecting the base ring and the base crown, and at least one handle, and a top assembly comprising a top crown, a mesh top screen extending from the top crown, and at least one handle, wherein the base assembly is sized to fit removably onto the top portion of the stove such that the base assembly is configured to block sparks or embers produced by the stove, and wherein the top assembly fits removably onto the base crown such that the top assembly is configured to block sparks or embers produced by the stove.

Here, a ceramic roaster-purpose light rocker arm is disclosed, which belongs to technology field of ceramic roaster and includes casing, rotation shaft, roaster body and cover. Both ends of rotation shaft penetrates the casing and are connected with rotation shaft and casing. The inner wall of the casing is movably connected with lower anchor chain foot and the lower anchor chain foot is fixed with roaster body. The inner wall of casing through the shaft is movably connected with upper anchor chain foot. The inner wall of upper anchor chain foot is connected with rail shaft. The inner wall of the upper anchor chain foot is fixed with retainer and the surface of the rotation shaft is provided with torsion spring. The torsion spring provides a buffer force, which makes the roaster cover opened merely with a finger-force.

An animal carcass cooking and roasting assembly and method of use in an oven, the assembly including a base tray, a liquid container mounted on and connected to the tray in a rack in a spaced apart upright position, the container arranged to receive a substantial amount of heat by conduction from the tray by the use of a tray and container connecting thermal via, the container arranged to fit within an open end of the carcass and wherein the opposite end of the carcass is tightly plugged or closed to form an isostatic chamber to contain liquid evaporated from the container within the carcass during the cooking process.
