A grill accessory creates a steaming chamber on a grill that has a heat source and a rack of spaced-apart bars over the heat source. The grill accessory includes a cover configured that covers a food item and forms a steaming region below the cover. The cover operates in connection with a vapor generator that receives and holds fluid beneath the cover. The vapor generator has at least one vent opening to release steam into the steaming chamber. The grill accessory is configured so that it can rest upon the grill rack of spaced-apart bars, and so that the vapor generator transmits heat to the fluid in the vapor generator to convert the fluid to steam. The vapor generator releases the steam through the vent opening(s) into the steaming region below the cover. The steam can help melt toppings and/or introduce moisture into food items cooked on the grill.

A cooking appliance includes an upper housing having a first heating surface and a lower housing operatively connected to the upper housing.

In one example, the central opening is covered by a central grate to provide a more typical grilling experience. In another example, the central grate is raised to prevent food loss down the central opening. Surrounding the central opening is a griddle with an outer periphery defining a retention ledge. The retention ledge serves as a backstop to prevent food falling off the griddle and onto the ground. Attached to the grill is one or more rods holding one or more adjustable accessories. The accessories automatically lock in position and may be adjusted both horizontally and vertically. In one example, the accessory is an adjustable grate with 360 degrees of rotation.

A cooking grate has a first, central grate portion having opposed front and back support edges for engaging with a support ledge in a grill firebox, and second and third side flanking grate portions each with front and rear support edges for engaging with the support ledge.

A heat diffuser for a grill may include a rigid plate having a first side and a second side and is designed to be positioned between the grilling surface and the burner of a grill, where each the first and second side includes a plurality of diffusing surfaces that when facing the grilling surface are oriented to diffuse heat generated by the burner. The heat diffuser may also include first and second supports located at opposite ends of the rigid plate and configured to support the rigid plate between the grilling surface and the burner in each of first and second orientations, where in the first orientation the first side of the rigid plate faces the grilling surface and in the second orientation the second side of the rigid plate faces the grilling surface.

A grilling accessory for use in a cooking space of a cooking appliance is described, which includes two food carriers with at least one cooking area each, which contact a food at the same time. The food carriers are arranged to each other such that the respective cooking areas face each other, wherein at least one of the food carriers has openings in the respective cooking area, wherein the two food carriers are connected with each other via a connecting element comprising a joint.
