A radiation unit housing includes a convection channel between (i) a back side of the reflector, opposite a front side that reflects IR radiation in the direction of the food support unit, and (ii) an inner surface of the radiation unit housing. The housing further comprises a lower opening below a lower part edge of the reflector and an upper opening above an upper part edge of the reflector to define a lower end and an upper end, respectively, of the convection channel.

The present application discloses an electric roasting machine, including an outer housing, an inner housing and a heating device which are accommodated in the outer housing, the inner housing is defined between the outer housing and the heating device, and the inner housing cooperates with the heating device to form a heat insulating cavity. The electric roasting machine of the present application has the advantages of good heat insulation effect, less heat loss and high heat utilization rate.

A heating and cooking apparatus inside the cooking chamber of a 3D food printer includes a laser cooking apparatus controlled by a processor implementing particular computer program instructions specific to the operation of the heating and cooking apparatus. The laser cooking apparatus includes at least one laser system with at least one laser beam able to heat the food product to its cooking temperature. Each laser system provides two or more laser beams, each of which can be deflected and focused into the food product with a beam spot of adjustable diameter. The heating and cooking apparatus also can include an electromagnetic radiation heating apparatus that is controlled by the processor and emits electromagnetic radiation to warm the food product inside the cooking chamber to a temperature below its cooking temperature.

A radiation grill unit (1) comprises (i) a food support unit (100) with bars (110), (ii) a radiation unit (200) that includes a reflector (210) (with reflector opening (223)) hosting an IR radiation heater (220), wherein the radiation unit (200) is configured to provide IR radiation (201) in a direction of the food support unit (100), and (iii) a radiation grill unit cavity (3) configured to host a drip tray (300). The drip tray is configured in the radiation grill unit cavity below a lower part edge of the reflector and out of a line of sight of direct IR radiation from the IR radiation heater. The drip tray further comprises a drip tray face and at least one drip tray reservoir configured at a side edge of the drip tray in a location that does not receive direct IR radiation, and configured to store a lipid comprising liquid.

The toaster oven of the present invention includes a housing having an internal heating compartment, an upper heating element and a lower heating element. The upper heating element and the lower heating element are independently controllable between zero power and full power in dependence upon a user-selected operating mode.

A grill or BBQ appliance that is generally intended for outdoor use has a pivoting hood disposed in hinged connection with a grill body, both of which are raised above a firebox that receives a food support grate including a set of food support modules. A gas burner assembly including a set of modular trellis burners may be positioned along the lower end of the firebox. A set of radiant tray modules may be correspondingly positioned between food support modules and burners. Branches of burner trellises may be spaced apart in distances corresponding to locations of an array of tiles grasped by the radiant tile module.

A cooking appliance (200) including: a body (104) providing a floor (105) and a ceiling (110), with the floor (105) and ceiling (110) at least partly surrounding a cooking cavity (116), the body (104) having an opening via which product to be cooked can be moved in and out of the cooking appliance (200), the cavity (116) having a periphery at least partly surrounding a cooking area (117) adjacent the floor (105) to locate the product therein; a heating element (219) located in an upper portion of the cavity (116) to deliver radiant energy to cook the product; and a shield (232) integral to the heating element (219) and at least partly surrounding the heating element (219) to shield a portion of the cooking area (117) from the radiant energy.

A cooking utensil includes a body, the body having an infrared heating member; an infrared wave-transmitting separator, the infrared wave-transmitting separator includes a first side surface provided facing the infrared heating member and a second side surface provided facing away from the infrared heating member, and at least a part of the first side surface being not coplanar with another part of the first side surface.
