An oven has a housing defining a cooking cavity. A door is configured to open and close to provide access to the cooking cavity. At least one gas heating element is provided at a lower portion of the cooking cavity, and an electric heating element is provided at an upper portion of the cooking cavity.

An over or grill burner includes a hollow body with a supplying port receiving a gaseous fuel mixture and outlet holes emitting the gaseous fuel mixture, and a conveying duct conveying the gaseous fuel mixture toward the hollow body, which has a delivering port and a supplying/mixing port with a first aperture for a fuel gas and a second aperture for a gaseous combusting product, and a reflector conveying a flame produced by combustion of the fuel mixture from the outlet holes. The supplying port of the hollow body and the delivering port of the conveying duct have a substantially circular cross-section and are connected to each other in a freely rotatable manner.

A gas-powered oven includes a cooking surface and a heat deflecting frame, such that the cooking surface and heat deflecting frame collectively define at least a portion of a cooking chamber. An outer housing extends around the cooking surface and the heat deflecting frame, with the outer housing having an opening formed therein and in communication with the cooking chamber. A first burner is connectable to a gas source and is located within the outer housing and spaced from the cooking chamber. The first burner is elongate and includes a first array of openings formed therein. A second burner is connectable to the gas source and extends into the cooking chamber toward a portion of the heat deflecting frame. The second burner includes a tapered passageway and an expanding passageway downstream of the tapered passageway to achieve desired flow characteristics of the gas flowing through the second burner.

A domestic cooking appliance for heating a food item includes a main housing; a cooking compartment in the main housing, the cooking compartment being configured to receive the food item to be heated, the cooking compartment having a first sidewall and a second sidewall; a gas burner that provides heat to the cooking compartment; a burner panel located between the gas burner and the cooking compartment; and a first fin protruding from the first sidewall and into the cooking compartment.

Aspects and features of a burner for a cooking appliance include a first plate defining flame ports arranged in flow-sharing groups around a periphery of a combustion surface and a second plate coextensive with the first plate. Each plate is contoured so that the plates define an annular void within the burner. The annular void is fluidly coupled to the flame ports. In some aspects, each flow-sharing group includes clusters of flame ports, with each cluster including flame ports of two different diameters. The plates can each be made using the same tool such as a die, stamp, or mold, and the burner can be sized and installed in a cooking appliance so that it extends to cover a large portion of a wall of the cooking cavity of the appliance.

A conveyor oven for cooking food and having an oven chamber in which food is cooked; a conveyor moveable to convey food within the oven chamber; a burner assembly operable to emit a flame to heat air for cooking food moving within the oven chamber on the conveyor; a burner tube extending into a compartment and positioned to receive at least a portion of the flame emitted by the burner assembly; and one or more passive tubes in the compartment positioned opposite the burner tube, wherein elongated baffles are located between adjacent passive tubes, wherein a baffle plate is located between the burner and passive tubes to restrict airflow from the burner tube to the passive tube, and/or wherein shelf assemblies in the oven enable movement (and in some cases removal) of a shelf with a corresponding fan and/or motor without disturbing other shelves and their corresponding fans and/or motors.

An example oven can include: a main body defining a cooking cavity; a front portion of the main body defining a front opening for receiving a food item and acting as an air vent; a baking stone positioned to support the food item; a tray assembly including a grate positioned in the main body; and a gas burner positioned adjacent to the baking stone and the tray assembly; wherein the gas burner is configured to combust a gas to heat the cooking cavity; wherein the gas burner is positioned to ignite fuel on the grate of the tray assembly to further heat the cooking cavity; and wherein the gas burner is positioned to heat at least a portion of the baking stone.

A cooking appliance and method generate an audible and/or visual indication to a user while an igniter is activated during ignition of a gas burner to notify the user that the igniter is active.

A portable baking oven has an upper portion and a lower portion that define a baking chamber are disclosed. A baking chamber opening may be defined entirely by the oven upper portion. The upper portion may pivot away from the lower portion to allow access to the interior of the oven for cleaning. The oven may include a gas-powered infrared bottom burner and a gas-powered curved back burner.

An oven appliance includes a cabinet with a chamber is defined within the cabinet for receipt of food items for cooking. The oven appliance also includes a gas burner positioned proximate to a bottom portion and/or a back wall of the chamber. A natural convection flow path is defined through the chamber. The natural convection flow path extends from an origin at the gas burner to a top wall of the chamber. The oven appliance further includes a convection fan positioned along the natural convection flow path above the gas burner and below the top wall. The convection fan is positioned and configured to divert combustion products generated by the gas burner from the natural convection flow path along a forced convection flow path towards a center of the chamber when the convection fan is activated.
