A culinary utensil which may be for use to retain a food product and may be for a toaster. The culinary utensil may include a body having a first side face and a second side face facing opposite the first side face, and a bottom face. A clip may extend longitudinally along the bottom face and be positioned from the bottom face to define a slot configured to receive the food product between the clip and the bottom face.

A system includes a hopper, a permeable seal, a gas supply, and a receiver. The hopper includes an elongated housing holding a row of food products. The elongated housing defines a pressurized end opposite a discharge end through which the food products are dispensed. The permeable seal is interposed between an interior wall of the hopper and a surface of the piston. The permeable seal cooperates with the hopper and the piston to define a closed volume between the piston and the pressurized end. The permeable seal is configured to bleed gas from the closed volume toward the discharge end. The gas supply selectively supplies gas into the closed volume to displace the piston toward the discharge end. The receiver receives food products dispensed from the elongated housing and is positioned to allow the food products to move along at least partially by gravity.

A cooking implement is provided. The cooking implement provides a grilling basket having opposing gridirons adapted to support and/or suspend food therein. The gridirons are pivotally connected and include locking handles for securing the basket around the food therein. The cooking implement further includes a drip pan adapted to hold the grilling basket thereon and catch fluids released by the foods being cooked in the grilling basket.

The disclosure is the only product of its kind that has the capability of significantly reducing the time it takes to clean up leftover crumbs from regular toaster operation. The disclosure is uniquely designed with durable materials to ensure long term functionality and can be utilized to toast a wide variety of breads, pastries, and goods, etc. at the consumer's preference.

A device, comprising a cooker and a topper for auto cooking and or topping of food.

One variation of a system for buttering and toasting bread buns includes: a butter stage including: a vessel containing liquefied dairy fat and defining a permeable surface, a pressure supply fluidly coupled to the vessel, and a first paddle assembly configured to catch a bun crown dispensed into the butter stage, to compress a sliced face of the bun crown directly against the permeable surface, and to release the bun crown from the butter stage; and a toast stage including a toasting surface arranged vertically below the permeable surface, a heating element arranged behind the toasting surface, and a second paddle assembly arranged vertically below the first paddle assembly and configured to catch the bun crown released from the first paddle assembly, to compress the sliced face of the bun crown directly against the toasting surface, and to release the bun crown from the toasting surface.

Disclosed are a timing assembly (500) and a toaster oven, the timing assembly (500) including: a mounting panel (200); a knob assembly (100) including a knob portion (110) and a movable assembly (120), the movable assembly (120) having a first state and a second state; a timer (300); and a limiting member fixedly connected to the mounting panel (200), the limiting member being positioned corresponding to the movable assembly (120) in the first state; when the movable assembly (120) in the first state is rotated to the position of the limiting member, the limiting member blocks the movable assembly (120) from continuing to rotate, and when the movable assembly (120) in the second state is rotated, the limiting member is avoided. The toaster oven includes the timing assembly (500). The timing assembly (500) can safely switch among operating states, and prevents safety risks.

A tray assembly includes a tray having a top side, an underside opposite the top side, and a plurality of protrusions extending from the underside. Each protrusion defines a recess in the top side and has a bottom wall and a contoured surface connecting the bottom wall to the top side. The tray assembly also includes a diffuser in the form of a plate with a plurality of apertures therethrough. The diffuser is couplable to the tray and positionable a spaced distance above the top side of the tray.

A pivoting device includes a first body, a second body pivoted to the first body and rotatable about a pivoting axis, and a limiting unit for limiting a pivoting angle of the second body relative to the first body and having a limiting member. The first body has first and second radial stop surfaces. The limiting member is movable relative to the first body between first and second limiting states, where the limiting member is rotatable along with the second body in a circumferential direction of the pivoting axis and is respectively limited by the first and second radial stop surfaces.

Never before has there been a practical way to toast a sub sandwich or melt cheese on a sub sandwich both the commercial and residential setting. This pan is specially designed for this purpose, which will save time, money, and hassle for the consumer. No longer will restaurants have to rig pans in order to get their sandwiches to stand up-right. Residential people will be capable of creating perfect sub sandwiches at home with ease out of their own oven.
