Abstract
A cooking system includes a housing having at least one internal compartment and a cooking container receivable within said at least one internal compartment. A cooking volume is defined within an interior of said cooking container. A bottom surface of said cooking container is angled upwardly. A heating element is associated with said at least one internal compartment.
Claims21
A cooking system comprising:
- a housing having a first internal compartment and a second internal compartment;
- a first cooking container receivable within the first internal compartment, an interior of the first cooking container defining a first cooking volume;
- a second cooking container receivable within the second internal compartment, an interior of the second cooking container defining a second cooking volume, the first and second cooking volumes being thermally and fluidly separate from each other;
- a first heater thermally connected to the first internal compartment and a second heater thermally connected to the second internal compartment;
- and
- a first fan and a second fan disposed in the housing, the first fan being in fluid communication with the first cooking volume and the second fan being in fluid communication with the second cooking volume;
- a user interface including a first input and a second input, the first input being operably coupled to the first heater and the first fan and configured to receive a first time associated with operation of the first heater and the first fan, and the second input being operably coupled to the second heater and the second fan and configured to receive a second time associated with operation of the second heater and the second fan;
- and
- a control system configured to perform cooking operations associated with both the first internal compartment and the second internal compartment via operation of both the first and second heaters and the first and second fans.

A cooking system, comprising:
- a housing having a first internal cooking compartment and a second internal cooking compartment, the first internal cooking compartment including a first heating assembly comprising a first fan and a first heater, and the second internal cooking compartment including a second heating assembly comprising a second fan and a second heater, the first and second internal cooking compartments being thermally and fluidly separated;
- a first cooking container removably disposed within the first internal cooking compartment and a second cooking container removably disposed within the second internal cooking compartment, the first and second heating assemblies being independently operable to independently cook food contained within the respective first and second cooking containers;
- a user interface including a first input and a second input, the first input being operably coupled to the first heating assembly and configured to receive a first time associated with operation of the first heating assembly, and the second input being operably coupled to the second heating assembly and configured to receive a second time associated with operation of the second heating assembly;
- and
- a control system configured to perform cooking operations associated with both the first internal compartment and the second internal compartment via operation of both the first and second heaters and the first and second fans.
