A protective liner for cookware has a main body with a bottom portion and a top portion. A rim extends laterally inwardly from the top portion of the main body, and a lip extends upwardly from the rim. A recess is disposed in the main body. The main body and the rim are configured to fit adjacent a top edge of a cookware apparatus during use. The recess is adapted to fit around a handle of the cookware apparatus, and the lip is configured to receive a lid corresponding with the top edge of the cookware apparatus. The protective liner reduces a user's risk of suffering a burn in use.

A cooking appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, a plurality of electric heating elements, and a heat shield. The cabinet may define a cooking chamber and an exhaust path downstream therefrom to direct vapor from the cabinet. The plurality of electric heating elements may be mounted within the cabinet. The heat shield may be mounted within the cabinet. The heat shield may extend along a shield plane from a first end to a second end. The heat shield may define a plurality of vent channels spaced apart along the shield plane from the first end to the second end. The plurality of vent channels may be disposed in fluid communication between the cooking chamber and the exhaust path.

A utility skirt for a wire chafing dish rack, wherein the utility skirt is folded around the wire chafing dish rack. The utility skirt having an upper edge, a lower edge, a left edge, and a right edge defining an area of the utility skirt. The upper edge of the utility skirt runs along the upper rim of the wire chafing dish rack. Three tabs extend from the left edge and three slits are made in the utility skirt near the right edge. The three tabs can interlock with the three slits for coupling the left edge to the right edge. Three fold lines divide the utility skirt into four sections, each of the four sections corresponds to the four sides of the wire chafing dish rack. Rim-tabs from the upper edge of the utility skirt folds over the upper rim for supporting the utility skirt over the wire chafing dish rack.

An artificial gravity heating system includes a cylindrical compartment formed of a hollow cylinder having a bottom base and an open top end. An electric motor rotates the cylindrical compartment to provide centripetal motion of materials inside the cylindrical compartment. While rotating, the materials move towards an inner wall of the cylindrical compartment. A heating element is conductively coupled along an outer wall of the cylindrical compartment for heating the materials against the inner wall via conduction. A temperature sensor is operatively coupled to the cylindrical compartment for monitoring a temperature of the cylindrical compartment. A controller is configured to control operation of the heating element based on the temperature monitored via the temperature sensor. An artificial gravity heating method is used to process materials including heating ingredients to cook food. The artificial gravity heating system may also be configured as a vapor generator dehydrator or a thermal gas generator.

The present disclosure is directed to a novel apparatus, method, and system for a vehicle tailgate BBQ grill system. The vehicle tailgate BBQ grill system has a grease tray integrated into the tailgate configured to capture grease and prevent grease from leaking into the tailgate. A dust cover fits over the grill system preventing debris from entering the vehicle tailgate BBQ grill system while the vehicle is in motion. A cover at a top of the tailgate has a closed position configured to hide the control knobs.
