A broil baffle for an oven may be provided. The oven may include a broil burner configured to distribute heat. The baffle may be positioned such that the broil burner distributes heat toward the baffle. The baffle may include a plurality of dimples configured to disperse infrared radiation from the distributed heat in multiple directions away from the baffle toward a broiling surface of the oven.

A gas cooker that includes a case defining an interior area, the case including an opening to the interior area; a plate covering, fully or in part, the opening of the case; a burner unit that is located in the interior area of the case, wherein the burner unit includes a heating element that is heated using gas; an operation unit that is located at a first portion of the case and that is configured to control the burner unit based on user input; an exhaust outlet that is located at a second portion of the case; and a first cooling unit that is located in the interior area of the case and that is configured to generate air flow toward the exhaust outlet is disclosed.

A gas cooker that includes a case defining an interior area, the case including an opening to the interior area; a plate covering, fully or in part, the opening of the case; a burner that is located in the interior area of the case, wherein the burner includes a heating element that is heated using gas; a vent that is located at a first position of the case and that is configured to discharge burned gas from the interior area of the case to an exterior of the case; an insulating case that is coupled to the burner and that is configured to hold the burner; and a first insulator that is coupled between the insulating case and the plate and that is configured to seal an interior space of the burner is disclosed.

A combination type cooker may include a top plate with a surface, a case that is configured to define a space shielded by the top plate, a gas burner that is provided inside the case, and in which a heat plate is heated by combustion of a fuel gas, an induction burner that is provided inside the case, and that is configured to heat a cooking container by induction, and a barrier that is provided between the gas burner and the induction burner, and that is configured to partition an inside of the case into a first space where the gas burner housed, and a second space where the induction burner is housed.

A stove core structure of an infrared gas stove is provided, including a bottom cover having a receiving groove, a bottom portion of the receiving groove having a gas through hole for guiding gas into the receiving groove, a guiding plate received in the receiving groove, being elevated, the bottom portion and the guiding plate having a space therebetween, a gap which is arranged around a circumferential side of the guiding plate and for the gas to pass therethrough serves as a main gas flow line. The gas flows through the circumferential and out from the infrared ceramic piece assembled on an opening of the receiving groove so that the gas contacts the air around the infrared ceramic piece fully and is combusted completely so as to prevent monoxide poisoning and waste of gas and to elevate a thermal efficiency.

A cooking appliance including a combustion zone and a cooking zone. The combustion zone has a combustion zone air flow path extending from a combustion zone air inlet to a combustion zone air outlet. The cooking zone overlies the combustion zone, and the cooking zone includes a closed cooking volume having a cooking surface and an openable lid. Combustion products produced in the combustion zone are isolated from the closed cooking volume.

The present invention relates to a small, lightweight, portable or easily removable high temperature oven with a rotating floor, designed to bake one pizza at a time, and operate between 30 and 1400 F., with mechanisms to independently regulate the temperature of the dome and the floor of the oven, using thermocouples, infrared sensors, other temperature sensors, industrial oven controllers, other programmable logic controllers, solenoid gas valves, or proportional response gas valves, baffles and ventilation systems and other heat sources, control sensing and regulation systems, to imitate the baking conditions of a heavy ceramic traditional Italian cupola oven. Different embodiments include portable catering ovens, food truck ovens, very small pizzeria ovens, and residential ovens with automatic controls, that are approximately conventional residential countertop depth.

Gas grills including downwardly facing infrared (IR) burner assemblies are disclosed. An example gas grill includes a cookbox, a shroud, an IR burner, and a cooking grate. The shroud includes opposing sidewalls and a housing. The opposing sidewalls extend upwardly from the cookbox and include a first pair of opposing grate supports and a second pair of opposing grate supports located below the first pair of opposing grate supports. The housing extends between the opposing sidewalls and defines an internal compartment. The IR burner is coupled to the housing such that a portion of the IR burner is located within the internal compartment. The IR burner includes a plurality of downwardly facing ceramic tiles configured in an end-to-end arrangement. The cooking grate is located below the IR burner and supported by either the first or the second pair of opposing grate supports.

A cooking apparatus may include a main body. A substantially solid cooking surface may be coupled to the main body. A lid may also be coupled to the main body. A cavity may be positioned above the substantially solid cooking surface when the lid is in a closed position. A first opening may open into the cavity. The first opening may be configured to allow heated air to circumvent the substantially solid cooking surface and to flow into the cavity.
