Portable Food Warmer and Cooker
A portable food warmer and cooker includes a housing having a base, a plurality of insulated sidewalls, and a latching lid. A food tray is removably securable within the interior volume of the housing. A heating coil is disposed within the interior volume of the housing such that it surrounds the food tray. The heating coil includes an inlet connector and an outlet connector, each of which extend exteriorly through one of the sidewalls of the housing. A pair of heater hoses connect the heating coil inlet and outlet to corresponding inlet and outlet connectors of a coolant system of a motor. The liquid coolant flows through the heater hoses and the heating coil, which transfers heat to the interior volume of the food tray. The device reaches high temperatures such that it can be utilized to cook raw foods utilizing the motor coolant liquid as a heat source.
Portable grills
Portable grills are disclosed. An example portable grill includes a frame, a leg unit, and a leg latch assembly. The leg unit is coupled to the frame. The leg latch assembly includes a post rigidly coupled to the leg unit, and a swing plate pivotally coupled to the frame. The swing plate includes an opening to receive the post when the portable grill is in a collapsed configuration. The opening includes a first post-receiving portion having a first diameter, and a second post-receiving portion having a second diameter less than the first diameter. The swing plate is pivotable to selectively locate the post in the first post-receiving portion or the second post-receiving portion. The swing plate is separable from the post when the post is located in the first post-receiving portion, and inseparable from the post when the post is located in the second post-receiving portion. The leg latch assembly latches the leg unit in a fixed position relative to the frame when the post is located in the second post-receiving portion, and unlatches the leg unit from the fixed position when the post is located in the first post-receiving portion.
