  • Rotisserie oven with improved trap system
    Patent number: 10859273
    Abstract: A grease and food particle trap for use with an oven shooter tube cleaning system that provides improved resistance to clogging and improved maintenance better matching the ability of the shooter tube cleaning system to provide complete cleaning and removal of grease and food particles is provided. An auxiliary heating system may provide improved energy efficiency and temperature control for cleaning operation by separately heating the cleaning solution upstream from the shooter tube prior to delivering a cleaning spray to the cooking volume.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 6, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 8, 2020

  • Grease handling apparatus for closed system oven
    Patent number: 8997730
    Abstract: A grease removal system for a combination oven, requiring venting and condensation of steam, conducts excess grease through the same drainpipe as the steam to a water-filled condenser, then segregates the grease within a reservoir wall. In this way, a single opening may serve to remove both excess steam pressure and grease and temperature-moderated grease may be readily pumped to a convenient location.
