An electric range is provided that may include a case, and a support. The support may include a first region in which an air blower fan may be disposed, and a second region in which a printed circuit board may be disposed. A lower surface of the first region may be separated from the case.

An electric range is provided that may include a single base bracket configured to support and protect a control circuit board, thereby remarkably reducing a number of components in comparison to a conventional electric range.

A method for operating a connected oven based on subjective user feedback, wherein the connected oven includes a set of in-cavity sensors configured to monitor the foodstuff throughout a cooking session; the method comprising: executing a cooking session according to an initial set of operation instructions to achieve a target food output condition; collecting subjective feedback values from the user for the resulting food output condition of the foodstuff after the cooking session; and updating the initial set of operation instructions based on the feedback values from the user.

An electric grill with a cooking surface for cooking food, which cooking surface has at least two adjacent heating zones is disclosed. Each heating zone of the grill is assigned a first electrical heating element 8 for heating the cooking surface in this heating zone, H.sub.1, H.sub.2. A second heating element 9 is arranged in a subset of the heating zones (H.sub.1) for increasing the heating power in this heating zone (H.sub.1) with a power input that at least matches that of a first heating element 8 of another heating zone (H.sub.2). The grill 1 has a heating element switchover feature, such that, when a second heating element 9 is switched on in a heating zone H.sub.1 with two heating elements 8, 9, a power corresponding to the power input of the second heating element 9 that is switched on or to be switched on is switched off on first heating elements 8 in one or more other heating zones H.sub.1, or switching on such power is blocked.

An air impingement conveyor oven incorporating a case having orthogonal walls, the case being opened by opposite end food passage ports; an air plenum mounted within the case; vertical pairs of forwardly extending finger ducts mounted to the plenum; a food conveyor extending between the finger ducts pairs and through the food passage ports; register plates having air jet matrixes, the register plates covering the finger ducts; and the matrixes air jets upon the register plates, the air jets being configured for air flow direction biasing both toward the rearward ends of the food passage ports and away from the forward ends of the food passage ports.

A cooking appliance includes a cooktop having a cooking zone with at least one heating element beneath the cooktop in the cooking zone, a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the cooking zone, and a controller. The controller executes a temperature-protect mode upon receiving an indication of a presence of a temperature-sensitive component on the surface of the cooktop by adjusting power supplied to the heating element in response to a detected temperature of the cooking zone approaching, meeting or exceeding a threshold temperature in order to ensure that the detected temperature does not exceed the threshold temperature beyond a predetermined degree and/or for a predetermined period of time. The threshold temperature is predetermined to be one that will not damage the temperature-sensitive component.

A hood apparatus for a cooking device includes at least one temperature sensor arranged in a direction of a cooking device including a plurality of burners, a communication interface to perform communication with the cooking device, a driving device configured to adjust a sensing direction of the at least one temperature sensor, and a processor configured to identify at least one burner being driven from among the plurality of burners, control the driving device to adjust the sensing direction of the at least one temperature sensor so that the at least one temperature sensor faces a position of the identified at least one burner, and control the communication interface to transmit a sensing result of the at least one temperature sensor to the cooking device.

A stepless temperature control method for an air fryer includes the steps of detecting and analyzing an air temperature in an air frying chamber of the air fryer in a real-time manner to obtain a temperature change in the air frying chamber, modulating a parameter of a stepless control signal according to a preset target temperature and the temperature change, and, in response to the modulated stepless control signal, adjusting a heating power of the air heater of the air fryer in a stepless manner, so as to maintain the air temperature in the air frying chamber between an upper limit and a lower limit of the preset target temperature.

A method for operating a connected oven based on subjective user feedback, wherein the connected oven includes a set of in-cavity sensors configured to monitor the foodstuff throughout a cooking session; the method comprising: executing a cooking session according to an initial set of operation instructions to achieve a target food output condition; collecting subjective feedback values from the user for the resulting food output condition of the foodstuff after the cooking session; and updating the initial set of operation instructions based on the feedback values from the user.

Provided is an electric oven in which, when a surface temperature of an opening or closing door reaches a set temperature while a body heats food with the opening or closing door closed, an alarm design visible with the naked eyes is displayed on a front surface of the opening or closing door by an alarm display portion so as to prevent burns or accidents caused by negligence of a user.
