A utility skirt for a wire chafing dish rack, wherein the utility skirt is folded around the wire chafing dish rack. The utility skirt having an upper edge, a lower edge, a left edge, and a right edge defining an area of the utility skirt. The upper edge of the utility skirt runs along the upper rim of the wire chafing dish rack. Three tabs extend from the left edge and three slits are made in the utility skirt near the right edge. The three tabs can interlock with the three slits for coupling the left edge to the right edge. Three fold lines divide the utility skirt into four sections, each of the four sections corresponds to the four sides of the wire chafing dish rack. Rim-tabs from the upper edge of the utility skirt folds over the upper rim for supporting the utility skirt over the wire chafing dish rack.

A cooking device includes a frame forming a cooking chamber; a door opening and closing the cooking chamber; a burner cover disposed in the cooking chamber; and a burner located in the burner cover, the burner generating a flame, wherein the burner cover is provided with a first hole providing a path through which air flows, and the frame is provided with a second hole communicating with the first hole, the second hole providing a path through which the air flows.

A cooking device muffle for a cooking device includes: a cooking chamber having a cooking chamber opening tightly closable by a door of the cooking device, and at least one cooking chamber wall for delimiting the cooking chamber. The cooking device muffle is suitable for explosion testing. A pressure compensation opening is arranged in one cooking chamber wall of the at least one cooking chamber wall to dissipate an explosion pressure generated during an explosion test, the pressure compensation opening being tightly closed by a purely mechanical closing device of the cooking device muffle in a normal state of the cooking device muffle, in which a cooking chamber pressure lower than the explosion pressure prevails in the cooking device muffle. The closing device automatically opens the pressure compensation opening at a cooking chamber pressure greater than or equal to the explosion pressure and automatically tightly closes the pressure compensation opening.
