Embodiments of a cooking station for cooking a food product are provided. In one embodiment, the cooking station includes a main body and an insert. The main body includes a vertically extending wall extending between a closed bottom end and a closable upper end with a lid. The main body is configured to extend longitudinally in a vertical orientation. The main body defines a lower insert opening and an upper insert opening, the main body including a slideable door moveable to close-off either the lower and upper insert openings. The insert is sized and configured to be removably positioned through either one of the lower insert opening and the upper insert opening, the first insert having heating element container structure configured to deliver heat to the food product.

Disclosed herein is a portable direct-fired cooker including a lower case supporting a roasting plate mounted at an upper portion thereof; an upper case spaced apart from the lower case and including a heater module emitting a flame ignited upon receiving gas toward the lower case; a lifting frame coupled to a lower surface of the roasting plate to support the roasting plate; and a lift unit lifting and lowering the lifting frame, wherein the portable direct-fired cooker further includes: a spring mounted on a bottom surface inside the lower case and elastically supporting the lifting frame. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to smoothly lift and lower a top-down portable direct-fired cooker and to stably maintain a state after the lifting and lowering operations.

The present application relates to a dining table for heating a food portion, in particular a raclette table. The dining table comprises a support frame, a tabletop supported on the support frame, and an extendable section, wherein the extendable section is received in a recess of the tabletop and comprises a pocket-shaped opening with one or more heating elements for heating a food portion.

A grated food-handling device including first and second grated assemblies each including a support frame having a support frame, a handle portion disposed at one end of the support frame, a connecting portion disposed at an opposite end of the support frame, and a planar grate disposed on the support frame, wherein the first grated assembly and the second grated assembly are separably and movably connected to each other, and where when the grated food-handling device is in a closed configuration a cooking volume is defined by the space between said first planar grate and said second planar grate. Further, a cooking utensil including a planar base, a plurality of sidewalls disposed along a perimeter of the planar base, at least one handle slot formed within at least one of the plurality of sidewalls, and a removable handle comprising a proximal end, a handle portion, and a distal end including one or more engaging tines and a stability member is provided for use with grated food-handling devices.

A portable cooking system with adjustable leg height includes a cooking station and multiple station legs. The station legs are removably coupled to an underside of the cooking station. Each of the legs include a threaded shaft, a washer and a leg base, the washer being fixed to the threaded shaft to define an upper winding portion of the threaded shaft along one side of the washer and a lower winding portion of the threaded shaft along the other side of the washer. The upper winding portion is configured to couple directly to the underside of the cooking station and the leg base is configured to be rotatably moveable along the lower winding portion to adjust a height of each station leg of the cooking station.

Disclosed herein is a portable direct-fired cooker including a lower case supporting a roasting plate mounted at an upper portion thereof and an upper case spaced apart from the lower case and including a heater module emitting a flame ignited upon receiving gas toward the lower case, wherein the upper case includes a plurality of heat dissipation grooves penetrating through the upper case, by which a burner structure of a top-down portable direct-fired cooker is protected from convection heat.

A cooking apparatus may include a main body. A substantially solid cooking surface may be coupled to the main body. A lid may also be coupled to the main body. A cavity may be positioned above the substantially solid cooking surface when the lid is in a closed position. A first opening may open into the cavity. The first opening may be configured to allow heated air to circumvent the substantially solid cooking surface and to flow into the cavity.

Embodiments of a cooking station for cooking a food product are provided. In one embodiment, the cooking station includes a main body and an insert. The main body includes a vertically extending wall extending between a closed bottom end and a closable upper end with a lid. The main body is configured to extend longitudinally in a vertical orientation. The main body defines a lower insert opening and an upper insert opening, the main body including a slideable door moveable to close-off either the lower and upper insert openings. The insert is sized and configured to be removably positioned through either one of the lower insert opening and the upper insert opening, the first insert having heating element container structure configured to deliver heat to the food product.

A pan and suspended cooking rack system for baking, curing, and dehydrating meats, such as bacon, features a base tray with raised edges, two vertical supports, and a mesh rack with half-cylindrical tubes positioned horizontally and perpendicular to the supports. Meat drapes over the tubes curved surfaces for uniform heat exposure, with grease draining into the tray, eliminating reliance on a horizontal pan or rack. Supports are adjustable, and tube configurations are reconfigurable, with attachment options including hinged, snap-on, threaded, magnetic, friction-fit, clamp-on, and modular adapters for versatility. The system adapts to BBQ grills or smokers with connectors like hooks or clamps on the supports ends for grate attachment, enhancing outdoor use.

A fire pit includes a main body having a double outer wall that defines an air inlet. An accessory support post is received by the main body within the double outer wall. A locking projection and locking flange cooperate to lock the vertical and rotational position of the support post with respect to the main body of the fire pit. A floating fire box is supported from above by a grilling flange that allows the fire box to move down when heated. The accessory post can be used with a post holder next to a camp fire. The post holder and accessory post use of the locking projection and locking flange to secure the accessory post with respect to the holder. A grill having an outer body member protects the user's finger from engaging sharp edges of an expanded metal grill.
