An induction cooking system including a first shell including a first housing, a first plate coupled to the first housing, and a first induction coil within the first housing. The induction cooking system also includes a second shell coupled to the first shell, the second shell including a second housing, a second plate coupled to the second housing, and a second induction coil within the second housing. The induction cooking system further includes a first temperature sensor for sensing a first plate temperature, a second temperature sensor for sensing a second plate temperature, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive the first plate temperature, receive the second plate temperature, adjust a first current supply to the first induction coil based on the first plate temperature, and adjust a second current supply to the second induction coil based on the second plate temperature.

A cooking utensil is disclosed with an arcuate groove channel formed in the cooking surface of the utensil. The device includes the cooking surface including the arcuate groove channel. The arcuate groove channel includes one of a spiral-shape and a series of concentric circles upon the cooking surface.

The present invention provides a combination pressure cooker and air fryer lid that may be selectively coupled to a vessel. When the lid and the vessel are coupled, the lid may be adjustable between two positions. In the first position, the lid may be used for pressure cooking. In the second position, the lid may be used for air frying. To transition the lid from the first position to the second position, a handle on the lid may be rotated in a particular direction. Conversely, to transition the lid from the second position to the first position, the handle on the lid may be rotated in an opposite direction. Advantageously, in performing either of the pressure cooking or air fryer cooking functions, the lid need not be replaced.

A method is disclosed for air-frying food in an microwave appliance having a magnetron, one or more calrod heating elements, and a fan. In one example, the microwave appliance is pre-heated for 4.5 minutes by operating a 1,600 Watt broil calrod heating element at maximum power with a convection fan. After food is inserted, the microwave appliance cooks the food in a post-heat stage according to a 60 second duty cycle, in which the broil calrod heating element is operated for one half the duty cycle, and a 1,500 Watt convection calrod heating element is operated for the other half of the duty cycle. The convection fan is also operated for an entirety of the post-heat stage.

A cooking mechanism and method of making a flat bread that does not require any flipping of the dough product and that which achieves an irregular temperature profile during the cooking process is described.

An air fryer comprises a main body and a lid assembly. The lid assembly is operable to removably cover the main body. The air fryer comprises a support structure removably assembled to the lid assembly; wherein the support structure is operable to be seated on a working surface for supporting the lid assembly, thereby providing convenient placement of the lid assembly.
