An electric resistance heating coil assembly, as provided herein, may include a spiral would sheathed heating element, a thermostat, and a shroud cover. The spiral wound sheathed heating element may have a first coil section and a second coil section. The thermostat may be connected in series between the first and second coil sections of the spiral wound sheathed heating element. The thermostat may include a base and a top cap. The base may extend axially between a first end and a second end. The top cap may be held on the base at the first end. The shroud cover may be mounted to the thermostat below the top cap.

A cooking system positionable on a support surface including a housing including at least a top wall, bottom wall, and side walls, said housing defining a hollow chamber including a cooking chamber and a convecting chamber. A convection heater is disposed within the convecting chamber. At least one fluidly communicable opening extends between the convecting chamber and the cooking chamber. The at least one fluidly communicable opening fully extends between the top wall and the bottom wall of the housing.

A cooking system positionable on a support surface includes a housing having a hollow chamber including an internal cooking chamber for receiving a food item, at least one radiative heating element arranged within the hollow interior and operable to heat said cooking chamber and a convection heater disposed within the hollow chamber and operable to heat the cooking chamber. The cooking system is operable in a convection cooking mode and during the convection cooking mode, the at least one radiative heating element is selectively energized.

An item, in particular for domestic and/or furniture use, in particular a countertop or furniture unit, includes a carcass on which a glass-ceramic assembly is arranged, the glass-ceramic assembly including a glass-ceramic plate and an electronic module including at least one heating element, the carcass including a support surface on which the glass-ceramic plate is placed and fastened and a housing in which the heating element is arranged, wherein the glass-ceramic plate bears a fastening system for reversibly fastening it to the carcass.

A cooktop appliance and heating element, as provided herein may define a heating zone having a thermostat positioned therein. The thermostat may include a base, a bimetallic disk, and a conductive spring. The base may extend axially between a first end and a second end. The bimetallic disk may be disposed within the base. The conductive spring may be disposed within the base in biased engagement with the bimetallic disk to motivate the bimetallic disk towards the first end within the base. The conductive spring may include a first layer and a second layer. The first layer may extend from a contact end proximal to the bimetallic disk to a joinder end connected to the first terminal. The second layer may extend from a biasing end proximal to the bimetallic disk to a secured end fixed within the base.

An embodiment of an electric heating element is disclosed, including an electrically resistive inner heating element, an electrically resistive outer heating element, and a thermostat positioned along a cold leg of the inner heating element. The thermostat is configured to selectively allow electrical current to be delivered to the inner heating element while maximum electrical current, for example, continues to be provided to the outer heating element. The thermostat cycles the electrical current on and off when detecting maximum and minimum desired temperatures radiated from the electric heating element. The inner heating element has a pair of cold legs that extend parallel to a pair of cold legs of the outer heating element, some or all of which may be supported by a terminal bracket.

A heating cooker to manage surface and inside temperatures of food. A heating portion heats inside of a heating space where the food material is placed. At least one processor controls the heating portion to perform driving for high-temperature heating after performing driving for low-temperature heating. During the driving for low-temperature heating, the heating portion may heat the inside of the heating space such that an average increase velocity of a reference temperature of the food material is lower than an average increase velocity of the reference temperature of the food material during the driving for high-temperature heating. During the driving for high-temperature heating, the heating portion may heat the inside of the heating space such that an average increase velocity of the reference temperature of the food material is higher than the average increase velocity of the reference temperature of the food material during the driving for low-temperature heating.

A radiation grill includes a housing and radiators which are arranged in the housing. A pullout which, in a position retracted into the housing, closes an opening on a front side of the housing. The pullout carries two glass plates arranged standing, which limit a cooking chamber in the retracted position of the pullout between them. Respectively, at least one of the radiators is arranged outside of the cooking chamber between each of the two glass plates and a side wall of the housing to irradiate grilled food in the cooking chamber. It is provided that movement of the pullout is limited by a stop.

A cooking appliance includes a cavity and a partition configured to partition the cavity. The partition includes an upper partition, a lower partition, and a heater arranged between the upper partition and the lower partition. The partition further includes a heater installation member provided to detachably mount the heater. At least one of the upper partition and the lower partition further includes a heater installation member installation hole to install the heater.
