A cooking apparatus is provided. The cooking apparatus includes: a cooking chamber to receive a food item, and an infrared lighting unit including one or more infrared light sources to provide infrared radiation to the food item received in the cooking chamber. The infrared lighting unit is positioned such that the food item is exposed to infrared radiation from the one or more infrared light sources. Further, the cooking apparatus includes: a shielding unit including one or more shielding elements respectively positioned between each of the one or more infrared light sources of the infrared lighting unit and the cooking chamber, a first air guiding unit to conduce air flow through the shielding unit, and a second air guiding unit to circulate hot air inside the cooking apparatus to heat the food item received inside the cooking chamber.

Provided is a flip-type multifunctional air fryer, including a cookware, a head, a base and a side plate provided between the head and the base, wherein a bottom of the head has an open structure, an air frying module is mounted in the head, the cookware at least includes a basket, the head is rotatably connected with the side plate, and the head at least has two positions in a rotation process: a first position where a bottom opening of the head faces downwards and is communicated with a top opening of the basket; a second position where the bottom opening of the head faces upwards and is connected with a bottom of the cookware.

A portable baking oven having an upper portion and a lower portion that define a baking chamber are disclosed. A baking chamber opening may be defined entirely by the oven upper portion. The upper portion may pivot away from the lower portion to allow access to the interior of the oven for cleaning. The oven may include a gas-powered infrared bottom burner and a gas-powered curved back burner.

A cooking system includes a housing having at least one internal compartment and a cooking container receivable within said at least one internal compartment. A cooking volume is defined within an interior of said cooking container. A bottom surface of said cooking container is angled upwardly. A heating element is associated with said at least one internal compartment.

A connected oven, including a set of in-cavity sensors and a processor configured to automatically identify foodstuff within the cooking cavity, based on the sensor measurements; and automatically operate the heating element based on the foodstuff identity.

A cooking system is provided. The cooking system includes a housing, a lid, a heating element, a vent tube, and a piston. The housing has a hollow interior. The lid is movable relative to the housing, where the lid and housing cooperate to form a cooking chamber. The heating element is mounted within the lid. The vent tube is arranged within the lid and extends between the cooking chamber and an external environment. The vent tube includes an inlet channel, an outlet channel, and a central channel arranged between the inlet and outlet channel. A piston is arranged within the central channel and configured to alternate between a venting and a non-venting position such that a low-moisture fluid is drawn through the inlet channel into the cooking chamber from the external environment, and a high-moisture fluid is evacuated through the outlet channel into the external environment from the cooking chamber.

A roasting and glazing apparatus includes a roaster, an agitator mounted within the roaster bowl for mixing a mixture of nuts and sugar during a roasting or glazing operation, a heater controlled to heat the roaster bowl during the roasting or glazing operation, and a cover removably mounted to the roaster bowl. The cover includes a reservoir for receiving water from a user and restricting water flow from the reservoir into the mixture of nuts and sugar in the roaster bowl. The cover and the roaster bowl together define a vent on a side of the cover opposite the reservoir. The vent is configured to direct steam out of the roaster bowl in a direction away from the reservoir.

A cooking appliance includes a body defining a cooking cavity. A door is rotatably coupled to the body. An imager assembly is coupled to an interior surface of the door. The imager assembly includes an image sensor configured to obtain image data within a field of view, a first primary mirror positioned at a first angle proximate to the image sensor and within the field of view, and a second primary mirror positioned at a second angle proximate to the image sensor and within the field of view. A secondary mirror assembly includes multiple secondary mirrors coupled to the body within the cooking cavity. The secondary mirrors reflect image views within the cooking cavity to the first primary mirror and the second primary mirror which reflects the image views to the image sensor to be captured as the image data.

A toaster oven includes a housing having an internal heating compartment, at least one heating element within the internal heating compartment, a vent associated with at least one wall of the internal heating compartment, the vent being moveable between an open position where air is permitted to pass into the internal heating compartment through the vent, and a closed position where passage of air into the internal heating compartment through the vent is inhibited. The vent is configured to move from the closed position to the open position in response to a biasing force exerted by a food support tray received within the internal heating compartment.

The present disclosure relates to a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance includes an exhaust inducing part creating at least any one of a flow of air from any one lateral surface of a housing to the other lateral surface of the housing out of both lateral surfaces of the housing and a flow of air from the front of a cooking space to the rear surface of the housing, while being disposed on a lateral surface of the housing and creating a flow of air at the front of the cooking space.
