A cooking accessory insert for a cooking grill includes a heat distribution duct that, installed, extends from a burner proximate to the bottom of the grill's fire box generally to a cooking level near the top of the fire box. The heat distribution duct is defined by a plurality of side walls extending from a top end of the heat distribution duct to a bottom end, tapering inward, or narrowing, from top to bottom. A top surface substantially covers the top end of the heat distribution duct, while the bottom is open. A cover is provided to cover the top surface, defining a baking chamber between the cover and the top surface. A cooking surface element such as a pizza stone is removably disposed on the top surface, spaced apart from the top surface by a plurality of spacers.

A toaster with a steam system comprises a casing and a chassis. A slot for a bread slice is defined by the chassis. A pop-up mechanism is within the casing and supported by the chassis, the pop-up mechanism configured for supporting a bread slice received via the at least one slot, and for raising the bread slice to project partially out of the slot at an end of a toasting/steaming process. Heating element(s) in the casing are for generating toasting heat. A steam system within the casing is configured for producing steam and feeding the steam to a steam vessel in the chassis during the toasting/steaming process. A closing system has flap(s) to close the at least one slot during the toasting/steaming process, and to open the at least one slot at completion of the toasting/steaming process.

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 sandwich press or food holder for use with a cooking appliance, such as a toaster or oven. Sidewalls of the press that define a space in which a food item is received can have one or more ridges that define a convex surface inside the cavity and a concave surface on an exterior of the sidewall. The concave surface can be positioned adjacent a heating element when the press is received in a cooking cavity of the appliance. One or more openings can be provided in the sidewall, e.g., to allow radiant energy to pass and/or steam to escape. A handle can permit two-handed manipulation of the press and can have a gripping portion that is offset from an area directly above the press.

The present invention generally relates to a novel cooking apparatus and, more specifically to a cooking apparatus for rapidly heating or reheating French Fries. There are known methods or devices in which cooking or heating French Fries is possible. However, because these methods or devices are slow, inefficient, or messy, they do not satisfy the needs of the consumer. The present invention discloses a vented silicone sleeve comprising an opening at the top (4), handles at the top (1,1), vents along both faces of the device (2) and spines along both edges (3). French Fries are placed in the opening (4) and the apparatus is placed in a toaster using the handles (1,1), heat is applied to the device from the toaster and the vents (2) allow for the even heating of the fries. Once heating is complete, the handles (1,1) is used to remove the apparatus.
