Devices, systems, and methods are provided for baking a food product in a portable baking oven. The baking oven includes a main body, lower and upper stones, a heat shield suspending the upper stone above the lower stone, and a heat element emanating heat upward to a rotating flat panel having the lower stone thereon. Convection heat from the heat element moves upward from below the rotating flat panel and past a periphery of the flat panel, channeled by the heat shield to the upper stone, to move along the upper stone, and then down along the heat shield, on the opposite side. With this arrangement, the heat element heats the upper and lower stones with convection heat moving between the lower and upper stones in a side-to-side manner.

A convection oven includes a cooking chamber for cooking a food product, an air circulator that circulates process air in a first direction through the cooking chamber and along a circulation path in a circulation passage. A heat exchanger includes one or more heat transfer ducts longitudinally arranged along the circulation path. One or more heating elements heat a fluid that is circulated in a second direction through the one or more heat transfer ducts which is opposite to the first direction. The process air absorbs heat from the heated fluid as the process air travels along the circulation path back to the cooking chamber. A partition wall may separate first and second parallel portions of the one or more heat transfer ducts. A heat exchanger may preheat fluid entering the one or more heat transfer ducts using heated fluid leaving the heat transfer ducts.

The cooking system for a cooking machine, in particular, a machine for preparing pancakes includes a plurality of cooking devices configured to be successively and cyclically moved to the end of a device for dispensing product to be cooked, in particular of a dough-injection system. There is a driving system for the cooking devices, and a control unit connected to the driving system and to the dispensing device. The control unit is configured to select part of the cooking devices, on which the product to be cooked is dispensed. The invention also relates to an associated automaton, a machine and a cooking method.

A grilling appliance is disclosed for preparing various different types of food wherein the food is conveyed through the appliance, from a food insert end of the appliance to a food removal end of the appliance, by means of continuously movable flow-through upper and lower cooperating conveyors operatively associated with platen-type heating members over which the upper and lower conveyors are conveyed so as to be heated by the platen-type heating members and thereby, in turn, heat, brown, or carmelize the food as desired or required. Multiple independently controlled conveyor sets define multiple independently controlled conveyor cooking lanes within the appliance.

The present invention relates to a system of rotating platforms for household appliances adaptable to various types of enclosures. The system allows easy access and manipulation without any obstruction to all the objects stored in the enclosure, due to a spin effect of the plates or platforms achieved by a radial impulse applied at its periphery by a drive power source supplemented with an arrangement of removable static shelves by means which are connected with mounting mechanisms present in the walls of the recite, in such a position that manages to take advantage of the internal space of the enclosure that is not occupied by the cylindrical volume of the platform system and functions as a passive mechanism of security, support and balance for the objects stored in the enclosure and that are supported by the platform.

A device for cooking culinary preparations, includes: a cooking chamber, capable of simultaneously receiving several individual culinary preparations, a primary heater, arranged in order to heat the cooking chamber and deliver a thermal power called primary thermal power to at least one part of the culinary preparations, a moveable plate), inside the cooking chamber, and including at least one plurality of cooking sites, each being arranged in order to receive a culinary preparation, and secondary heater, including a plurality of heating elements, arranged in order to follow the displacement of the moveable plate, each heating element being associated with one of the cooking sites and being arranged in order to heat preferentially the top of this cooking site by delivering a thermal power called secondary thermal power.
