Electric skewers and cooking apparatuses

A combined apparatus of a cooking apparatus and at least one electric skewer, said combined apparatus comprising:

• a cooking apparatus including:
• a main body including:
• a bottom wall;
• at least one side wall;
• wherein said at least one side wall is attached to and extends from said bottom wall and defines an interior volume;
• a cooking platform;
• wherein said cooking platform is releasably connected to said at least one side wall within said interior volume and is adapted to hold material thereon to be heated by said cooking apparatus;
• an electric heating element;
• wherein said electric heating element is located within said interior volume and between said bottom wall and said cooking platform;
• and
• wherein said electric heating element is adapted to heat said material placed upon said cooking platform;
• an electrical power source;
• wherein said electrical power source is electrically connected to and supplies electric power to said electric heating element;
• and
• at least one skewer power outlet;
• wherein each of said at least one skewer power outlet is connected to said at least one side wall of said main body, is electrically connected to said electrical power source, and is adapted to supply said electric power to at least one electric skewer;
• and
• said at least one electric skewer comprising:
• an elongated heating rod including:
• an elongated hollow body including:
• a proximal end including an aperture therethrough;
• a distal end including:
• a tip portion including:
• an inner apex surface;
• and
• an outer apex surface;
• an interior wall including an interior surface forming a hollow interior volume between said proximal end and said inner apex surface of said tip portion of said distal end;
• an exterior wall defining an exterior shape between said proximal end and said outer apex surface of said tip portion of said distal end, and forming an external heating surface upon the entire said exterior wall;
• a first length along said interior wall between said proximal end and said inner apex surface of said tip portion of said distal end;
• a second length between said proximal end and said outer apex surface of said tip portion of said distal end along said exterior wall;
• an elongated heating element including:
• an elongated conductor;
• wherein said elongated conductor is located within said hollow interior volume of said elongated hollow body and contacts said interior wall of said elongated hollow body along said first length to thereby conduct heat evenly to the entire said external heating surface of said exterior wall;
• wherein said elongated heating rod is adapted to be heated evenly along said second length;
• and
• wherein said elongated heating rod is adapted to be pushed into and pulled out from said material to be heated;
• a handle;
• wherein said handle is connected to said proximal end of said elongated hollow body of said elongated heating rod, and is adapted to allow a person to hold said elongated heating rod while being pushed into and pulled out from said material to be heated;
• and
• wherein said handle is formed from a material adapted to resist said heat from said elongated heating rod from transferring therethrough;
• and
• an electrical power cord;
• wherein said electrical power cord is adapted to releasably connect with and transfer said electric power from said at least one skewer power outlet of said cooking apparatus;
• and
• wherein said electrical power cord is electrically connected to and supplies said electric power to said elongated conductor of said elongated heating element;
• wherein said at least one electric skewer is adapted to be pushed into said material to be heated and heat said material from its inside outward while said material is being heated by said cooking apparatus from its outside inward, to thereby more efficiently heat said material throughout said material and to make sure that all portions of said material is heated to a desired temperature.
