A pan support for a gas hob includes self-supporting arms, which each have a bearing surface for a cooking vessel and a plurality of gas-outlet openings for supplying a fuel-gas/air mixture for forming a flame beneath the cooking vessel.

A flare burner for burning combustible waste gases with a manifold, at least two arms, and a plurality of outlets disposed on the plurality of arms. The arms may be perpendicular to the manifold. The arms may also extend outwardly from the manifold. The arms may extend into annuli, to produce oppositely flowing exit gas. A curved dispersing surface may be disposed above the manifold. The arms may comprise a curvilinear shape or include both a linear and a curvilinear portion. The arms are unequal in length and may curve in an opposite direction from each other. The outlets are configured and spaced such that flame is short relative to size of the flare burner.

A home cooking appliance includes a cooktop surface and a gas pedestal burner on the cooktop surface. The gas pedestal burner includes a burner portion having a sidewall, a lower surface facing the cooktop surface, a plurality of burner ports in the sidewall, and a base portion under the burner portion. The base portion elevates the burner portion in a vertical direction above the cooktop surface and has a lower mounting surface disposed on the cooktop surface. An area of a footprint of the lower mounting surface of the base portion is less than an area of a footprint of the lower surface of the burner portion.

A cooking appliance is provided, including a multi-level gas burner with a body having a lower burner section on a lower side and an upper burner section on an upper side. The lower burner section is separated from the upper burner section. The lower side of the body has a first injection point for receiving a first air-gas mixture for the lower burner section and a second injection point for receiving a second air-gas mixture for the upper burner section. The first injection point is partitioned from the second injection point thereby separating the first air-gas mixture from the second air-gas mixture. The body includes a passageway fluidly connecting the second injection point on the lower side of the body to the upper burner section on the upper side of the body.

A cooking appliance is provided, including a cooktop floor and a removable cooking vessel support system on the cooktop floor. The cooking vessel support system includes a support frame configured to support a cooking vessel above a gas burner, the support frame having at least a first arm supporting the gas burner above and spaced apart from the cooktop floor. The support frame includes an internal passageway in fluid communication with the gas burner and configured to draw primary air into the support frame at a location above the cooktop floor and to mix the primary air with an injected gas to provide an air-gas mixture. At least a portion of the internal passageway is formed in the first arm of the support frame such that the air-gas mixture is guided by the internal passageway through the first arm to the gas burner.

A domestic gas cooking appliance for heating a food item is provided. The domestic cooking appliance includes a top sheet; a burner body on the top sheet, the burner body having an upwardly extending riser pin; a gas supply line that supplies gas to the burner body; and a burner cap positioned above the burner body and resting on the riser pin such that a pin receiving area contacts the riser pin. One of the riser pin and the pin receiving area comprises a magnet, and the other of the riser pin and the pin receiving area comprises a ferrous material.
