A pneumatic spring strut assembly comprises a cylinder comprising a working end and a boosting chamber. The working end includes a first volume of gas and the boosting chamber includes a second volume of gas. A temperature control valve assembly is disposed in the interior volume separating the working end from the boosting chamber and includes an over-pressure valve configured to release the second volume of gas into the working end when the pressure within the boosting chamber increases above the normal pressure range of operation. A valve is disposed in the wall of the cylinder, in the working end thereof, and is configured to yield, to thereby vent the first volume of gas to atmosphere, when the pressure within the interior volume of the working end increases above the normal pressure range of operation.

A cooking apparatus including a main body forming a cooking compartment; and a door configured to be rotatable to open and close the cooking compartment, the door including: a door frame, a door hinge installed on the door frame to connect the door and the main body, the door hinge including a hinge damper to attenuate a rotation speed of the door, and a thermal resistance member disposed between the hinge damper and the door frame to protect the hinge damper from heat of the cooking compartment.
