The invention is a dimpled wok. A wok, or any other bowl-shaped cooking surface, is fitted with one or more discrete cooking surfaces along the inner sloping walls. The discrete cooking surfaces, which are containers for food, may be bowl-shaped, creating dimples in the pan, or they may be oval with flat bottoms, or they may resemble a shelf. The discrete cooking surfaces have lower cooking temperatures than the bottom and walls of the pan. This allows food to be pushed, conveniently and easily, away from the high-temperature cooking that takes place at the bottom of the pan, and into the separate discrete cooking surfaces, where the food may be held to be warmed, and not overcooked. The dimpled wok may be an electric wok, equipped with a central heating element, or a heating element in each of the dimples.

A cooking container includes a bowl that includes a base, a side wall and an energy recovery device intended to engage with an induction heating system, the energy recovery device including a rigid holder that is separate from the bowl, is in the shape of a loop and is arranged on the base, and at least one electrically insulated conductive element attached to the holder by deposition, in particular by screen printing, pad printing, thermal spraying, decalcomania or laser sintering. The holder includes an open loop including two free ends and two extensions that extend radially and without touching one another, starting at the two free ends, from the base towards the side wall, and the conductive element is attached to the open loop and to the two extensions by deposition.

A cooking apparatus includes first and second griddles, each having a generally planar cooking surface for cooking food. A first lifting mechanism is configured to elevate the first griddle such that a food item on the cooking surface of the first griddle is predisposed to fall onto the cooking surface of the second griddle. A first wiper is configured to sweep the cooking surface of the first griddle to facilitate detachment of any food item attached to the cooking surface of the first griddle for transfer such food item to the cooking surface of the second griddle. The first and second griddles, first lifting mechanism, and first wiper are interconnected preferably to form a portable, integrated cooking product. These components preferably are enclosed within a housing for presenting a refined consumer product for use in a home kitchen and are arranged so as to define a compact volume and footprint.

A cooking device includes a base, a housing, partition walls, a lid, a control module, an exhaust module, a connecting electrode and a heating module. The exhaust module includes an air-filled element, an air-extraction element, an inlet passage and an exhaust passage. The air-extraction element is used to exhaust fog or oil fume generated in the plurality of inner pots. The connecting electrode is arranged in a middle position of the base. The heating module includes: bottom heating units disposed different locations inside a storage compartment of the housing respectively and connected with the processor individually; second heating units arranged on the partition walls and connected with the connecting electrode by wires inside the partition walls; and third heating units arranged on the inner wall of the housing.

The heating module includes bottom heating units disposed at different locations inside a storage compartment of the housing. The exhaust module includes an air-filled element, an air-extraction element, an inlet passage, and an exhaust passage used to exhaust fog or oil flume generated in an inner pot(s). An inner surface of the lid is provided with multiple first sealing units, a second sealing unit and a third sealing unit. The third sealing unit is arranged corresponding to an opening of the storage compartment. The second sealing unit is connected with the third sealing unit to divide a region surrounded by the third sealing unit into sub-regions with different sizes. The first sealing units are arranged corresponding to the bottom heating units and in the sub-regions with different amounts.

A kitchen in a box automatic cooking appliance with various cooking stations and a deep frying station along with selectable lid integrated stirring mechanism with remote stirring power source. Floor and wall mounted ingredient bins and containers along with universal tool carrier to bring in fluidic ingredients to be delivered to cooking stations. Removable components for easy cleaning of the automatic cooking appliance and the components. Heating control by using temperature sensor in contact with cooking vessels by attaching actuator mechanisms on knobs of off the shelf induction and gas stoves.

An electric roasting pan according to the present invention comprises: a roasting pan; a heating layer being in surface contact with the roasting pan and comprising a carbon nanotube and a silicone-based adhesive; and an electrode in contact with the heating layer. The electric roasting pan has excellent thermal efficiency thanks to the minimal heat loss thereof, can reach a target temperature within a short time to reduce a preheating time, and affords excellent cooking quality. Furthermore, the electric roasting pan can substantially prevent the occurrence of temperature deviation across the area of the roasting pan during a temperature increase and is of high durability and safety.

A cooking appliance includes a housing, a cooking area or volume on or in the housing and a heater assembly for heating the cooking area or volume. The heater assembly includes a heater plate body with a surface having at least one groove therein. The groove includes both a deformable metal sheet element and a resistive heater element therein. The deformable metal sheet element is pressed between an outer surface portion of the resistive heater element and a surface portion of the groove to provide a thermal transfer path from the resistive heating element and to the heater plate body through the deformable metal sheet element.

A cookware which may have a titanium pan bottom that has been bisected by a thermal partition into two independent cooking sections. The thermal partition is configured to thermally insulate a first cooking portion and a second cooking portion from each other. A sidewall and the pan bottom together forming a cooking cavity. A lid is configured to close the cooking cavity. A first heating element is coupled to the base and thermally coupled to the first cooking portion of the pan bottom. A second heating element is coupled to the base and thermally coupled to the second cooking portion of the pan bottom. A removably attached user interface is in communication with a heating controller and configured to set a first cooking temperature and a second cooking temperature, independently of each other. The cookware further features a removably attached temperature gage.
