  • Patent number: 11642556
    Abstract: A cooking system includes an appliance defining a food product volume and a fluid aperture fluidly coupled to the food product volume, a conduit configured to fluidly couple a fire suppressant supply to the fluid aperture, the fire suppressant supply being configured to provide a fire suppressant agent, a flow restrictor positioned along the conduit and configured to restrict a flow rate of the fire suppressant agent through the conduit, and a check valve positioned along the conduit. A portion of the conduit extends between the check valve and the fluid aperture and fluidly couples the check valve to the fluid aperture. The conduit is configured to introduce the fire suppressant agent from the fire suppressant supply into the food product volume of the appliance through the fluid aperture.

  • Patent number: 11033765
    Abstract: A cooking system includes an appliance configured to cook food products, a fire suppressant supply configured to selectively provide fire suppressant agent, and a conduit. The appliance includes a food receptacle and a cover selectively repositionable between a fully open position and a closed position. The cover defines an internal volume configured to contain the food products during cooking, a fluid aperture fluidly coupled to the internal volume, and an access aperture through which the food products may be introduced into the internal volume. The cover extends at least partway across the access aperture in the closed position. The conduit fluidly couples the fire suppressant supply to the fluid aperture. The fire suppressant supply and the conduit are configured to introduce the fire suppressant agent into the internal volume of the food receptacle at least when the cover is in the closed position.
