Abstract: The present invention refers to a gas burner (16), in particular a gas burner for a cooktop, comprising a plurality of burning portions (40, 42, 44). A gas burner according to the present invention comprises a plurality of burning portions (40, 42, 44) adapted to receive a gas flow from gas supply means (20, 30, 36) that comprise injector means (20) adapted to eject a gas flow diverging along the flow direction (10) to define a spreading angle Y. The gas burner is characterized in that gas-flow adjusting means (24, 25) are provided for modifying said spreading angle Y such that said gas flow is enabled to supply one or more of said plurality of burning portions (40,42, 44) depending on the adjustment of said spreading angle Y.

Abstract: An apparatus for use with a commercial grill to increase safety, efficiency, and organization. The apparatus includes a barrier extending upwardly from the cooking surface, and extending along the backsplash of the grill, the barrier having an accessory staging feature along a topmost portion, the topmost portion being at least eight inches above the cooking surface. The accessory staging feature can support one or more accessories. The invention may thereby increase usable grill surface area. The apparatus can also include an attachment assembly for attaching the barrier to a standard backsplash, or the barrier can be an integral extension of the backsplash. The invention substantially reduces the likelihood of ventilation/exhaust well fires. The invention makes cleaning the factory backsplash much easier, because the backsplash is substantially protected from splatter by the invention. The invention substantially protects the stainless steel or tile kitchen back wall from splatter, smoke, grease, and soot.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooking device (1) comprising a burner group (3), provided to be easily emplaced into the housing (15) without any problems after being detached and taken apart for maintenance, providing complete burning thereby preventing the formation of poisonous gases.

Abstract: A cooking range (100). Range (100) comprises a cabinet (50) for housing an oven, a range top (64) installed on top of cabinet (50) for providing a cooking platform, at least one stove base (112) installed on top of range top (64) for supporting cooking accessories, a control panel (60) for controlling the operation of range (100), a cooking device (80) disposed on top of range top (64) for cooking food, an adapting member (110) engaged with cooking device (80) for adapting cooking device (80) to stand on stove base (112), a thermostat (122) installed on stove base (112) and adapted to detect and control the temperature of the bottom of cooking device (80). As cooking device (80) is properly installed on stove base (112) the electrical terminals of cooking device (80) is removably engaged with an electrical port (112c) on stove base (112).

Abstract: A cooktop having a flat glass ceramic plate and a plurality of rails independently attached to the bottom surface of the glass ceramic plate. The rails are configured to be received in a cutout in a countertop and are not connected to each other at the corners. The bottom of the cooktop is enclosed by a rough in-box consisting of a primary U-shaped cover and two independent end covers.

Abstract: Unit with at least one plate made of a material, which material is permeable to thermal radiation, such as glass ceramic, glass, ceramic or a similar material, as a surface for cooking, frying and/or keeping warm. The unit with at least one plate is on a frame construction with different types of adjustable heat sources distributed underneath and on the plate. Some of the heat sources are distributed under the plate in the form of radiant burners and act indirectly by radiation through the plate. Other heat sources are located above the level of the plate in the form of open atmospheric or atmospheric pressure gas burners and transmit heat directly by producing open flames. The respective heat sources correspond to the cooking, frying and/or warming positions.

Abstract: A cover hood for a cooking utensil, such as a pot, kettle, pan, or the like, which includes a conical hood made from a spray protection grid and a bearing part comprising a bearing ring attached to a lower edge of the hood and protruding substantially horizontally from the lower edge of the hood. The spray protection grid is made of a wire mesh or a perforated metal plate material.

Abstract: Simmer performance in gas ranges is improved by providing a burner grate with a flame impingement ring centered over the gas burner. The burner grate includes a base and a plurality of fingers attached to the base. The flame impingement ring is attached to all or some of the fingers. The flame impingement ring is sized so that simmer flames from the gas burner will impinge thereon. Thus, the flames are directed away from direct impingement on the cooking utensil, and some heat from the flames is absorbed by the grate. The flame impingement ring can have many cross-sectional configurations including curved, circular, oval or straight.

Abstract: A magnetic utensil-holder (10) has a first ring (12) having magnets (19) therein that are placed on a cooking surface, such as a stove top or grill, surrounding a heat source. A second ring (20) is spaced a predetermined distance above the first ring (12) by a plurality of support means (28,30). A cooking utensil is placed inside of the holder (10) and a plurality of adjustment means (33) are adjusted until they contact the cooking utensil. The cooking utensil is thus held firmly on the cooking surface. Extension pins (40) extend above the second ring (20) to prevent pot lids from sliding off; and, joinder bars (45) coact with the extension pins (40) to fasten two such magnetic utensil-holders together.

Abstract: A solid fuel burning heating apparatus, used as a parlor stove, is also used for cooking. The stove is provided with a self-clearing top smoke chamber having a top cover over an aperture. A cooking tray is supported in the aperture when the stove is operating. The tray has a surface for holding coals and an opening communicating between the aperture and the interior of the stove. A perforate cooking surface is supported above the tray.

Abstract: A metal housing is provided including interconnected opposite side, front, rear, top and bottom walls and the front wall is provided with a large opening formed therein whose upstanding side edges are spaced inwardly of the adjacent sidewalls. A pair of opposite side closure doors are hingedly supported from opposite side portions of the front wall and are swingable horizontally between coplanar positions closing the large opening with their free swinging edges in close juxtaposition and open positions with the doors swung outwardly and rearwardly into positions closely paralleling the outer surfaces of the forward portions of the side walls. The top wall includes front and rear portions and the rear portion of the top wall has a flue outlet opening formed therein.
