A griddle having a grease management system and independent cooking zones is disclosed. The griddle may have a cooking surface back wall with an opening provided therein for grease removal. A grease drip flange may extend away from the cooking surface at a downward angle at or near the back wall opening. A removable grease receptacle having a pivotable handle, as well as a squeegee element, may be provided below the grease drip flange. The independent cooking zones may be provided by burner assemblies having front and rear burners that provide different levels of heat using a single dual gas control valve.

A method of controlling a cooking apparatus includes identifying an initial thickness of a food product on a lower heating plate of the cooking apparatus and calculating a difference between an initial gap value corresponding to the initial thickness of the food product and a predefined final gap value. The method includes controlling at least one of a pressure of at least one of an upper heating plate and a lower heating plate on the food product, a rate of descent of the upper heating plate toward the lower heating plate, and a rate of ascent of the lower heating plate toward the upper heating plate based on the calculated difference between the initial gap value and the predefined final gap value.

A cooking system includes a grill, a first arm assembly and a second arm assembly. An electronic hardware controller is in signal communication with the at least one grill, the first arm assembly and the second arm assembly. The controller operates the first arm assembly to transfer a prepared product to the grill, and operates the second arm assembly to transfer a cooked product from the grill.

Provided is a cooking appliance comprising a first structure having a hot plate for cooking food, and a measuring device for measuring the thickness of the food arranged thereon and comprising a pivoting rocker connected to a pivotable shaft by a first end thereof, and a means for measuring the pivoting angle of the rocker in order to estimate the thickness of the food. The appliance comprises a second mobile structure which, when moved away from the first structure, generates a pivoting of said shaft in relation to the first structure, causing the pivoting of the rocker, and the measuring means interacts with the rocker towards a second end thereof.

The present disclosure provides an air fryer, including a housing, a compartment and a handle. An inserting part of the handle is inserted through a lateral opening of a mounting socket of the compartment, such that the second fixing part is aligned with the first fixing part and fixedly connected with each other through a guide mating of the second guide part and the first guide part to form an internal fixation. It is convenient for consumers to assemble by themselves, and it is firm and non-detachable after assembly, such that not only the volume of the factory packaging can be reduced, but also the safety of use can be ensured.

A grill cage includes a body having four sides and a bottom provided with a plurality of through-holes formed on a surface of the bottom and a plurality of discharge holes framed in one or both edges of the bottom; a cover hingedly engaged to the body, and having four sides corresponding to the four sides of the body, and a bottom provided with a plurality of through-holes formed on a surface of the bottom of the cover, and a plurality of discharge holes formed in one or both edge parts of the bottom surface of the cover; and inner plates each of which is mounted on the body and the cover, and has four sides having a height lower than the sides of the body and the cover, and a plurality of through-holes formed on a bottom surface of the plate.
