Abstract
A countertop electric appliance optimally performs a variety of cooking modes with both radiant and convective heat sources as well as control means for controlling the timing and intensity of the heat sources. A driver turns food about either a horizontal or a vertical axis of rotation suitable for the specific food and recipe. A hinged door supports the food to be cooked so that in one location the food is caused to be turned by the drive means and in another location the food is loaded into or removed from the appliance, external of the cooking compartment, to be easily handled by the operator.
Claims19
A countertop cooking appliance comprising:
- a cooking compartment having an inner chamber adapted to receive, one at a time, a first food holder and a second food holder, and having at least one source to generate heat within the inner chamber;
- a driver adapted for causing rotation within the inner chamber about a horizontal axis;
- the first food holder having a first horizontal axle fixed thereto and projecting outwardly therefrom and connectable to the driver and rotatable thereby about the horizontal axis to rotate the first horizontal axle and the first food holder within the inner chamber and uniformly expose food held by the first food holder to the at least one source;
- the second food holder having a second horizontal axle rotational relative thereto and projecting outwardly from opposite sides thereof and connectable to the driver and rotatable thereby about the horizontal axis, and having a vertical axle fixed thereto and rotationally connected to the second horizontal axle and rotatable thereby about a vertical axis to rotate the vertical axle and the second food holder and uniformly expose food held by the second food holder to the at least one source.
