  • Patent number: 12372247
    Abstract: In general, cooking devices having at least one electric heating element and that are configured to cook various foods, including pizza, are provided. In some embodiments, the cooking device can include a housing having a base, a movable door coupled to the base that together define an interior cooking chamber. A cooking surface, such as a cooking stone, can be disposed proximate a heating element within the cooking chamber such that food, such as a pizza, can be placed on top of the cooking stone when inserted into the interior chamber. The heating element can be in operable communication with a controller configured to adjust the amount of heat supplied by the heating element to the interior chamber to optimize the cooking of a food, such as pizza, placed inside the interior chamber.

  • Patent number: 11882860
    Abstract: A combination cooking system and methods for cooking having a simplified venting structure are provided. In one embodiment, the cooking system can include a housing having a hollow chamber for receiving food, a lid coupled to the housing for enclosing food within the chamber, and at least one heating element. In use, a seal disposed between the lid and housing can be selectively removed to create an air gap there between, thus providing a simplified method for venting air within the housing and thereby enabling the system to operate in different cooking modes. A locking element for locking the lid relative to the housing and/or an adjustable vent can also be selectively used to control venting within the system to enable the system to operate in different cooking modes.

  • Publication number: 20230218110
    Abstract: 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.
