A rack assembly is mountable within a cooking cavity of an appliance. The rack assembly includes a slide rack defining a well opening and configured to removably support a rack insert in or through said well opening. A telescoping slide is coupled to said slide rack such that said slide rack is slidable between a fully retracted position and a forward position relative to said cooking cavity when mounted therein.

A cooking device including a base having a bottom plate with a plurality of slots, a first end wall, a second end wall, and a side wall. The cooking device also includes at least one first rack removably coupled to the base, the at least one first rack including a main body portion having a rack tab, and at least one second rack removably coupled to the base, the at least one second rack including a main body portion and an upper plate extending from an upper surface of the second rack main body portion. The second rack main body portion has a rack tab. The base includes structure for receiving the rack tabs to secure the respective first and second racks to the base.

A cooking enclosure is configured to hold food being cooked. The enclosure includes a surrounding, generally vertical, sidewall, projecting upward from a base. The base includes a floor bridging a bottom of enclosure, and the enclosure is capped by a vertically moving ceiling. The vertical moving ceiling secures a cooking heat source which is in thermal communication with the enclosure interior. The moving ceiling is configured to move up and down within the sidewall to vary, up and down, a volume of the cooking enclosure. The cooking enclosure is configured to have both a smaller cooking enclosure volume, suitable for quickly cooking small foods, and larger cooking enclosure volume necessary to cook larger foods.

A cooking appliance including an oven body having an interior compartment and a door panel for accessing the interior compartment, wherein the interior compartment is sized to receive a food product; a removable heated tray positionable within the interior compartment, wherein the heated tray includes a top tray surface and a first heating source positioned below the top tray surface; and a second heating source positioned within the interior compartment.
