A baking oven includes a first baking tray at the rear side and a second baking tray at the front side. The first baking tray and the second baking tray can be opened or closed relative to each other. The first baking tray and the second baking tray cooperatively define a baking space used for baking ingredients and a feeding channel used for feeding the ingredients downwards into the baking space, wherein the feeding channel extends upwards and downwards to communicate the baking space with the outside. The first baking tray and the second baking tray further cooperatively define an overflow channel that communicates with the top of the baking space and is isolated from the feeding channel, to allow the air or the ingredients in the baking space to move upwards into the overflow channel.

A scooped out bagel dough product, bagel mold halves, and an apparatus using the bagel mold halves for making a scooped out bagel product. The scooped out bagel product is a baked bagel product half having: a crunchy blistered outer shell with a substantially reduced amount of doughy inner chamber that provides its unique flavor. This scooped out bagel product utilizes a predesigned custom mold that creates stalactites, i.e., flavor spikes, and holes or flavor pit formations that each encapsulate the soft doughy inner contents within a boiled and baked blister shell and increases a surface area of dough on an inner surface thereof. The product is a scooped out half bagel crunchy on its outer surface but filled with the flavor spikes, and flavor pits in which substantially reduced amounts of dough are encased relative to a comparable sized whole bagel.

The present invention discloses a method for preparing gourmet waffles. The composition or ingredients of the gourmet waffles includes at least four cups of pancake mixture, to 3 cups of water, at least three eggs, cup of oil and at least one box of the cake mixture. The gourmet waffles could be prepared into any desired configurations includes a disk, a roll, and a square. The composition could be mixed in a bowl to make a dough or batter. The dough could be stirred and smooth via a whisk or a dough mixer. The dough is placed inside of a waffle maker or waffle iron and heated at a temperature of about 280 F. The gourmet waffles are toasted for predetermined time of about 3 to 5 minutes and then removed from the waffle iron. The method provides tastier and healthier gourmet waffles.

A grill device includes upper and lower grill units. The upper grill unit has a feed opening. The lower grill unit includes a lower grill plate having a plate body and a flow-diverging stage. The plate body has a central portion that is adapted to be positioned under and aligned with the feed opening, and a surrounding portion that surrounds the central portion. The flow-diverging stage protrudes upwardly from the central portion of the plate body, and has a flow-diverging convex surface that faces the feed opening and that is for diverging flow of a fluid material which flows from the feed opening onto the plate body. The flow-diverging convex surface has a top end positioned higher than the plate body.

A pocketed bun is made by placing a removable insert inside a portion of bread dough, cooking the bread dough to produce a bread bun, cutting the bread bun, and removing the insert from the bread bun. Preferably, the insert is made of a non-edible and non-stick material. The insert is at least partially or completely surrounded by the bread dough before and after cooking. The insert can also be magnetic, so that the insert and the bread dough can be magnetically suspended during cooking in an oven that has one or more suspension magnets.

Food products, apparatus, systems and methods in which a pocketed bun is produced by supplying compressed air into a portion of bread dough to produce an air pocket, cooking the portion to produce an at least partially cooked bun, and cutting the bun into at least two pieces, with each piece having a cavity. Air can be delivered directly inside the portion of bread dough through a tube or to an expandable object (e.g., a balloon). Preferably, the portion of bread dough is placed into an expandable mold controlled by at least an arm operated by a processor. Batches of pocketed buns can be produced by utilizing a device having multiple molds inside a chamber, and multiple stacked chambers or a shelf with multiple floors.
