Abstract: 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.

Abstract: There is disclosed herein a sous vide appliance (10) including: a tube (12) having longitudinally opposite first and second ends (14, 13), and providing a liquid flow path (26) having an inlet adjacent the first end (14), and an outlet adjacent the second end (13); a heating element (31) mounted adjacent the tube (12) to heat liquid passing along the flow path from the inlet to the outlet; an outer housing (11) within which the tube (12) is located; and a switch (32) located between the tube (12) and the housing (11) and operatively associated with the heating element (31) to provide for the delivery of electric power to the heating element (31).

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an induction cooker (100) having an induction element (104) for heating a cooking vessel (106) containing a food substance. The induction cooker (100) also has a temperature sensor (120) for measuring a temperature of the cooking vessel (106) or food substance. A memory is also includes having stored therein a cooking sequence. The cooking sequence includes sequential stages, each stage being defined by a set temperature to be reached by the cooking vessel (106) or food substance, a set maximum power applied to the induction element (104) during heating and a time associated with the stage. A controller is included for retrieving the cooking sequence and controlling the induction element (104) based upon the cooking sequence and the temperature measured.
