An indoor smoker includes a smoking chamber that is defined at least in part by a chamber wall and a smoke generating assembly for providing a flow of smoke into the smoking chamber through a chamber inlet defined in the chamber wall. A rack assembly is positioned within the smoking chamber and includes a ladder rack mounted to the chamber wall for supporting a plurality of racks. The ladder rack includes L-shaped mounting flanges that are secured to the chamber wall and a support plate that is secured to the distal ends of the mounting flanges to define a flow plenum for distributing the flow of smoke throughout the smoking chamber.

The present disclosure relates to an induction range of an upper and lower heating type having an advantage of simply cooking a cooking object such as instant food packaged in a food packaging box in a short time, making food taste good by alternately heating upper and lower parts of the cooking object, preventing an electric control device from being burned out by applying an alternating heating type for excluding mutual induction interference between an upper heating unit and a lower heating unit for heating the cooking object, and preventing a burn occurring at the time of gripping the heated cooking object and promoting cleanliness by installing a separate cooling device used for cooling the cooking object or for deodorizing the cooking object.

An apparatus for heating and/or cooking food is described. The apparatus includes an appliance housing with at least one accommodating device. The accommodating device has one or more accommodating compartments accessible by way of at least one opening in the appliance housing, and an accommodating container for the food which communicates with the respective accommodating compartment and can be inserted into and removed from the accommodating compartment. The apparatus also includes a heating device associated with the accommodating device and having one or more heating elements. The accommodating container has a closure portion for sealingly closing the respective accommodating compartment and an outwardly substantially closed cooking chamber for the food to be heated.

Exemplary embodiments are directed to a combination appliance. The combination appliance includes a first appliance and a second appliance. The first appliance includes a front surface, a rear surface, side surfaces extending between the front and rear surfaces, and at least one heating chamber. The second appliance includes a front surface, a rear surface, side surfaces extending between the front and rear surfaces, a heating chamber, and a door at the front surface of the second appliance. The first appliance is vertically disposed over the second appliance with the front, rear and side surfaces of the first and second appliances substantially aligned. A width of the combination appliance defined by the front surface of the first and second appliances is dimensioned smaller than a depth of the combination appliance defined by the side surfaces of the first and second appliances.

The present disclosure relates to an artificial intelligence (AI) system for simulating functions, such as recognition and determination, of the human brain by using a machine learning algorithm such as deep learning, and an application thereof. Provided are an automatic cooking device and method for selectively emitting light of different wavelength bands to a food material, identifying the food material by obtaining information about the food material, based on reflected light, and controlling a cooking process of the food material.

A vertical grill for cooking food items is disclosed wherein the vertical grill is comprised of a body containing at least one vertical grilling area disposed between at least two sources of radiant heat energy, and wherein the body is adapted to direct fats and breakaway solids generated during the cooking of the food into an external receptacle via the external opening . It achieves this by including evacuation slides which are contained within the body of the grill and arranged in various shaped assemblies such that food and fats falling on the evacuation slide travels down until it is collected by evacuation slide guide which delivers the food and fats to the external receptacle where they are not in any danger of catching fire.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional cooking oven comprises an oven cover, an oven body, a first heating device, a second heating device, an elastic device and a first control panel, wherein the oven cover is hinged with the oven body, the rotation angle between the oven cover and the oven body falls in between 0 degree and 180 degrees; the first heating device is arranged on the bottom surface of the oven cover, and the elastic device is arranged in the inner cavity of the oven body; the second heating device is arranged in the inner cavity of the oven body and connected with the elastic device, which drives the second heating device to go up and down; the multifunctional cooking oven also comprises a pot cover, which is buckled onto the pot body; in a word, the multifunctional cooking oven has multiple functions and thus possesses powerful practicability.

Cooking systems with improved heating consistency and corresponding methods are provided. A cooking system includes a cooking compartment for receiving food, and a control system for controlling food cooking therein. The control system stores multiple heating times corresponding to different user inputs (e.g., a food shade, a food type, a cooking mode, etc.) The control system can determine temperatures of the cooking compartment from the past to present, as well as a temperature change between the past and present. When the cooking system is activated, the control system receives the user inputs and selects a stored heating time based upon these user inputs and the present cooking compartment temperature. At certain present temperatures, the cooking system also selects the stored heating time based upon the temperature change. This allows the controller to adjust the heating time based upon the cooking compartment temperature, and optionally temperature change, to avoid overcooking food.

A lifting mechanism is disclosed including: a base, on both sides of which a first vertical guide rail and a second vertical guide rail are provided respectively; a driving mechanism, including a first sliding block slidably mounted on the first guide rail, a motor assembly fixedly mounted on the first sliding block, a first rack arranged on the first guide rail, a first gear engaged with the first rack, a second sliding block slidably mounted on the second guide rail, a second rack arranged on the second guide rail, a second gear engaged with the second rack and a linkage shaft connected with the first and second gears and driven to rotate by the motor assembly; and a connecting mechanism connected with an external component and drivable by the driving mechanism to move up and down.

A cooking apparatus comprises a cooking chamber in which a food is cooked and opened in a first direction, a heater arranged at a side of the cooking chamber and configured to provide heat into the cooking chamber, a magnetron configured to generate a high frequency supplied into the cooking chamber, and a folding shelf detachably mounted in the cooking chamber and configured to be foldable. The folding shelf extends in a second direction to support the food at a first mounting position, and while the folding shelf is in a folded state, the folding shelf configured to divide the cooking chamber into a plurality of cooking spaces at a second mounting position.
