A cooking apparatus includes a base, a first cooking assembly, a second cooking assembly pivotably coupled to the first cooking assembly, and a pair of removable cooking surfaces, the first cooking assembly and the second cooking assembly each being rotatably coupled to the base and configured to receive a respective removable cooking surface. The first cooking assembly and the second cooking assembly are moveable between an opened state and a closed state. The first cooking assembly and the second cooking assembly are configured to rotate about a first rotational axis while in the closed state and pivot relative to one another about a second rotational axis while in the opened state.

A food baking apparatus includes a compressible die and a mechanical stop for controlling a die spacing of the compressible die. The mechanical stop includes a supporting system and a mounting element mounted onto the supporting system. The mounting element includes at least one protrusion having a particular amount of protrusion from the mounting element, which amount of protrusion may be adjustable for any single protrusion. By translation or rotation of the supporting system and/or the mounting element during operation of the apparatus, a protrusion is selected. The protrusions mechanically stop further compression of the dies during an operation of the food baking apparatus. Thus, the selection determines the die spacing applicable for the baking process, based on the amount of protrusion of the selected protrusion.

The present technology provides a device, such as a waffle form, that uses an alternative heat source to cook a waffle instead of an internal heating element or a direct flame. The waffle form includes upper and lower elements to allow the waffle maker to be closed to create a sealed interior cooking environment and then placed in a chamber to allow circulated heated air to heat the surface of the waffle maker. The upper element may have configurable shapes, such as concave or convex, to create waffles of different shapes or to allow stuffing ingredients to be baked into the waffle. The waffle maker may use connections and a fastening mechanism to allow the waffle maker to be suspended from rotisserie connections in a multi-purpose cooker, such as an air fryer, rotated around an axis, and removed after the waffle is fully cooked.

An appliance iron for making edible spoons that dissociate into consumable predetermined clumps in order to prevent a dissociating into random granules that would make a consumption more difficult. The appliance iron includes a housing, a plate, and an electrical circuit. The plate is disposed within the housing, and is so shaped for providing the edible spoons that dissociate into the consumable predetermined clumps in order to prevent the dissociating into the random granules that would make the consumption more difficult. The electrical circuit heats up the plate.

Disclosed is a waffle tong device and a method of using the waffle tong device. The waffle tong device being arranged so that a first and second side of the waffle tong device can be brought together by compressing a spring biased connector and once compressed, the waffle tong device can be placed on a waffle maker, filled with waffle batter and the waffle batter cooked to form a stuffed waffle. The spring biased connector configured such that once the waffle batter is cooked, the waffle tong device can be removed from the waffle maker and allowed to open whereupon the resultant stuffed waffle can be removed from the waffle tong device. Handle portions can be applied to the connector to allow for manipulation of the waffle tong device without risk of burns.

Thermal mold for baking halves of an edible container, including a first heated plate having a recess that replicates an outer surface of a baked half of the edible container; a second heated plate that has at least one protrusion that replicates an inner surface of the baked half. The protrusion mates to the recess with a gap therebetween. The plates are brought together with an offset forming a horizontal surface around the recess and form the gap such that baked dough forms a tray. Second plate has teeth located along the horizontal surface, the teeth are inward and below the horizontal surface for forming cavities on an inner surface of the baked half. The second plate has cavities between the teeth and inward and above the horizontal surface for forming teeth on the inner surface of the baked half. Heater is around the recess and protrusion in plan view.

A cooking utensil includes a sheet metal tray of a substantially uniform thickness. The sheet metal tray includes a repeating pattern of depressed groove channels, each groove channel including in section raised channel sides and a depressed channel center. The repeating pattern includes a raised channel side of each of the depressed groove channels connecting with at least one raised channel side of a neighboring one of the depressed groove channels. The depressed channel center is configured to hold a bread product to be baked, and the raised channel sides are configured to keep the bread product in each of the depressed groove channels from contacting the bread product in neighboring depressed groove channels.

The second plate has cavities between the teeth and inward and above the horizontal surface for forming teeth on the inner surface of the baked half. Heater is around the recess and protrusion in plan view.

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.
