A cooker includes a top plate provided with a plurality of cooking zones on any of which a heating object is to be placed, a plurality of heaters each provided to a corresponding one of the plurality of cooking zones, a housing provided below the top plate and accommodating the plurality of heaters, a storage defined by a partition and provided in the housing, a door configured to cover an opening provided at the housing and communicating with the storage, and a storage case attached to the door and stored in the storage. A center of gravity of the cooker is positioned closer to a width-direction center of the housing than a width-direction end of the housing.

Provided is a cooking apparatus. The cooking apparatus has a structure in which cooking modules different from each other are selectively mounted with a free arrangement structure on a top surface of the cooking apparatus.

A cooking appliance has a multi-section cooking surface that is expandable to provide a larger depth cooking surface by slideably extending a moveable front burner section of the cooking surface. The cooking appliance includes a base section extending below the cooking surface, the base section providing structure and physical support for the cooking surface. The cooking appliance includes a multi-sectioned cooking surface having a stationary rear burner section and a movable front burner section. The stationary rear burner section includes at least one rear/back burner, and the moveable front burner section includes at least one front burner. The moveable front burner section translates/slides forward away from the stationary rear burner section to provide additional/larger separation spacing between the at least one rear burner and the at least one front burner. A block insert panel is inserted into the space created between the rear burner section and the extended front burner section.

Provided is a cooking apparatus. The cooking apparatus has a structure in which cooking modules different from each other are selectively mounted with a free arrangement structure on a top surface of the cooking apparatus.

A cooktop assembly includes a burner box and a controller disposed on the burner box. A mounting panel is coupled to the burner box over the controller. The mounting panel defines a plurality of embossed features. Each of the plurality of embossed features extends vertically upward from discrete portions of the mounting panel. A plurality of coil assemblies includes individual coil assemblies. Each of the individual coil assemblies includes a coil disposed on a coil plate that defines more than one aperture. Each of the individual embossed features extends through an aperture of the more than one aperture defined by one of the coil plates when the individual coil assemblies are disposed on the mounting panel. A cooktop is disposed over the plurality of coil assemblies and coupled to the burner box.

A modular cooktop assembly includes a modular housing. The modular housing includes a cooktop unit, a track assembly, and a safety device. The cooktop unit includes a heating surface, and/or the track assembly is connected between the modular housing and the cooktop unit. The cooktop unit is configured to move between a first position and a second position via the track assembly. The safety device is configured to connect power to the cooktop unit as the cooktop unit moves between the first position and the second position.

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 deployable grill including a support frame having a support member operable between a stowed position and a deployed position. First and second brackets outwardly extend from the support member and are spaced-apart from one another to define a receiving area therebetween. A heating element is disposed on the support member adjacent to the receiving area. At least one spit rod is received in the receiving area.

An oven appliance includes a cabinet extending between a top portion and a bottom portion along a vertical direction and extending between a left side and a right side along a lateral direction. The vertical direction and the lateral direction are mutually perpendicular. The oven appliance also includes a maintop having a heating element positioned within the maintop. The maintop is fixedly mounted to the top portion of the cabinet. The maintop is constrained against movement along the lateral direction by a first emboss at the left side of the cabinet and a second emboss at the right side of the cabinet.

A gas burner having a combustion chamber with a bottom and a circumferential wall. A plurality of fuel exit ports are disposed in the circumferential wall, and are directed generally inwardly toward the combustion chamber and upwardly from the bottom of the combustion chamber. The fuel exit ports are preferably directed inwardly at an angle that is slightly rotated from a central axis of the burner to create a swirling flame. A plurality of secondary air inlets extend through the bottom of the combustion chamber. An injector orifice is aligned with the central axis of the burner. The injector orifice is secured to the cooktop using a bracket, which has an orifice-securing surface, with two sidewalls extending therefrom and terminating in fastening flanges. The fastening flanges have asymmetrically arranged slots therein to receive tabs extending from the burner to ensure proper alignment of the burner and the injector orifice.
