A housing for a masonry oven core comprises at least two shaped sections, capable of being attached together to form a shape that encompasses a masonry oven core. They are at least partly formed from mesh material capable of being rendered with mortar. The completed housing is substantially semi-spherical, and the wall sections extend substantially vertically.

Exemplary embodiments are directed to a combination appliance. The combination appliance includes a first appliance and a second appliance. The first appliance includes a front surface, a rear surface, side surfaces extending between the front and rear surfaces, and at least one heating chamber. The second appliance includes a front surface, a rear surface, side surfaces extending between the front and rear surfaces, a heating chamber, and a door at the front surface of the second appliance. The first appliance is vertically disposed over the second appliance with the front, rear and side surfaces of the first and second appliances substantially aligned. A width of the combination appliance defined by the front surface of the first and second appliances is dimensioned smaller than a depth of the combination appliance defined by the side surfaces of the first and second appliances.

The present disclosure relates to an artificial intelligence (AI) system for simulating functions, such as recognition and determination, of the human brain by using a machine learning algorithm such as deep learning, and an application thereof. Provided are an automatic cooking device and method for selectively emitting light of different wavelength bands to a food material, identifying the food material by obtaining information about the food material, based on reflected light, and controlling a cooking process of the food material.

A cooking device includes a heating unit and an oil discharge roast pan mounted to the heating unit. The oil discharge roast pan includes a pan body, a plurality of oil discharge holes extending through top and bottom surfaces of the pan body, and a plurality of protrusions protruding downwardly from the bottom surface.

An air fryer drawer includes a panel, a fryer basket fixed to the rear side of the panel to receive food to be fried, and a handle disposed at the front side of the panel, the panel being provided with a transparent area through which a user can observe the conditions of the food being fried in the fryer basket. The handle includes a grip handle segment, and is capable of rotating between a first state and a second state relative to the panel, the grip handle segment being located at the front side of the transparent area when the handle is in the first state to facilitate manipulation of the grip handle segment, and the grip handle segment being deviated from the transparent area when the handle is in the second state to facilitate observation of the conditions of the food being fried in the fryer basket.

A vertical grill for cooking food items is disclosed wherein the vertical grill is comprised of a body containing at least one vertical grilling area disposed between at least two sources of radiant heat energy, and wherein the body is adapted to direct fats and breakaway solids generated during the cooking of the food into an external receptacle via the external opening . It achieves this by including evacuation slides which are contained within the body of the grill and arranged in various shaped assemblies such that food and fats falling on the evacuation slide travels down until it is collected by evacuation slide guide which delivers the food and fats to the external receptacle where they are not in any danger of catching fire.

Disclosed is a multi-functional open-flame oven apparatus comprising an oven housing surrounding an oven chamber for containing foodstuffs, the oven chamber comprising an oven floor, a loading opening for loading foodstuffs into the oven chamber; and an aspiration inlet for permitting air flow into the oven chamber from the ambient environment and an adjustable aspiration outlet for airflow out of the oven chamber. The oven further comprises an open-flame heating apparatus for heating the oven chamber, a steam-generating apparatus for generating steam for the oven chamber, a smoker apparatus for generating smoke for the oven chamber; and a loading door for closing the loading opening. Also disclosed is an open-flame oven apparatus comprising a solid-fuel support apparatus for supporting a solid fuel to be burned.

A combination grate and griddle for a cooking hob includes a base frame extending around a perimeter of the combination grate and griddle to define an open central area. At least one article supporting feature is connected with the base frame, extends at least partially into the open central area, and defines an upper supporting face. A griddle body is connected with the base frame and extends within the open central area around the at least one article supporting feature. The griddle body defines a cooking surface spaced apart from the upper supporting face of the at least one article supporting feature.

A food heating appliance primarily directed for cooking tacos comprises a frame, a heating element assembly connected to the frame, and a grill panel connected to the frame. The grill panel has an articulated form which defines several spaced apart troughs with trough having a bottom portion at a bottom level and a top portion at a top level above the bottom level. In various preferred embodiments, the grill panel articulated only on one axis so that each trough has a constant cross section, and has opposed upper portions at the top level. The grill surface panel may be an integral sheet of metal. A heating element assembly has heating elements with elevated, downward arcing portions above the bottom level and at an intermediate level above the bottom level and below the top level of the troughs. The elevated portions of the heating elements are spaced between the troughs.
