A grill of top projecting and radiating type includes a projection heater, a support connection beam, a base and a grilling pan arranged on the base, wherein the base includes a substrate housing; an upper face of the substrate housing is provided with an oil collection upper housing; a grilling pan rotating motor is arranged in the substrate housing; the center of an upper surface of the grilling pan is low and the periphery thereof is high; a rotary socket pipe is fixedly arranged at the bottom center of the grilling pan; an electric motor shaft of the grilling pan rotating motor passes through the oil collection upper housing from bottom to top, is inserted into the rotary socket pipe and is then connected to the grilling pan to realize the synchronized rotation of the motor shaft and the grilling pan.

Rotisserie forks and a basket for use on a motorized elongated spit rod having a central axis and a sharpened tip, wherein the forks or basket have a) a split shaft collar having an opening that slidably receives the spit rod and has an inside diameter, and b) a lever-action quick-release clamp that surrounds the shaft collar, has open and closed lever positions, and which when open enables the shaft collar and fork or basket to move along the spit rod central axis, and which when closed reduces the shaft collar inside diameter so that the fork or basket does not move along the spit rod central axis during rotisserie grilling.

A ruled rotisserie spit for use in a motorized rotisserie device in a grill. The spit has an elongated spit rod having a central axis and a sharpened tip, a spit rod centerline corresponding to the spit rod center of mass, a food centerline axially displaced from the spit rod centerline and corresponding to a desired midpoint for food that will be grilled using the rotisserie device, and one or more pairs of index marks or other discernible indicia on the spit rod located either side of and equidistant from the food centerline.

A cooking apparatus 20 comprises a body 22 having a base wall 24, side walls 26, a rear wall 28, a top wall 30 and a shelf 34. The shelf 34, top panel 35, and sections of the side walls 26 and rear wall 28 therebetween define a cooking space 40 having an open front 42. The cooking apparatus 20 further comprises a heating means 46 which extends along an internal surface of the rear wall 28 facing the cooking space 40. In the embodiment, the heating means 46 comprises gas ceramic burners 46 for directing and distributing heat towards the cooking space 40 in a substantially uniform manner. A moisture infusion assembly 50 is arranged above the shelf 34 and thus at a lower portion of the cooking space 40.

A grilling assembly for grilling over an open flame includes a frame that is tripoidal. A shaft is rotationally coupled by a first end to the frame. The shaft extends from proximate to an apex of the frame toward a base of the frame. A power module and a motor are coupled to the frame. The motor is operationally coupled to the power module and the shaft. The motor is positioned to rotate the shaft. A grate is coupled to a second end of the shaft. The grate is configured to position substantially horizontally over an open flame, such as a campfire. The grate is positioned to rotate coincident with the shaft such that food items that are positioned on the grate are positioned to be heated by the open flame.

A system and method for cooking food on a rotisserie in a conventional oven includes setting an oven thermostat to a desired cooking temperature. As spring on a mechanical drive motor is wound and a spit is placed through meat. The spit is then placed on a support to hold the meat in a substantially horizontal position, and the spit is coupled to a mechanical drive motor. The oven rotisserie and meat are placed into the oven to commence a cooking operation. The spit is rotated intermittently via the mechanical drive motor during the cooking operation in accordance with operation of an escapement and gear of the mechanical drive motor. The oven rotisserie and meat are removed from the oven after completion of the cooking operation.

The present invention is an automated system for the frying of food. It consists of two main subsystems. The physical machine which directly interacts with and cooks the food and the system software which monitor and interacts with the system sub-components to organize and arrange for the constant cooking of food. The system is able to manage the supply of cooked food to constantly meet the demands of the restaurant where the system is deployed. The system also monitors and manages the various system subcomponents to ensure that they are operational and functional.

The subject matter described herein includes a method of operating a grill having a food containing assembly. The method includes installing a first cooking grate in a perimeter grate frame and in spaced-apart relationship to a second cooking grate to which food is placed on. The method also includes cooking the food for a period of time and translating the food containing assembly, where the perimeter grate frame rotates at least 180 degrees from an original position. The method also includes cooking the food for an additional period of time, translating the food containing assembly to the original position, displacing the first cooking grate from the perimeter grate frame, and removing the food.

A control system for use with an outdoor cooking apparatus may include a hub and an axle housing adapted to slidably couple with a hub. The control system may also include a motor mounted at or near the upper end of the axle housing and an axle mechanically coupled to the motor and extending through the axle housing to a free end emerging from the lower end of the axle housing. The control system may also include a support coupling attached to the free end of the axle, the support coupling being adapted to support a food support below the axle housing. The axle housing may be selectively arranged and secured relative to the sleeve to position the height of the support coupling relative to the lower end of the axle housing and the axle may rotate about its longitudinal axis when the motor is turned on.
