Abstract
A cooking engagement system for a cooktop appliance is provided. The cooking engagement system may include a casing, an image monitor, and an air handler. The casing may be positioned above the cooktop along a vertical direction. The casing may define an air inlet and an air outlet. The image monitor may be supported on the casing. The air handler may be mounted within the casing in fluid communication between the air inlet and the air outlet to motivate an airflow therethrough. The air outlet may define an airflow curtain path extending from the casing.

A cooking engagement system for a cooktop appliance comprising a cooktop surface defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction, the cooking engagement system comprising:
- a casing positioned above the cooktop along the vertical direction, the casing defining an air inlet and an air outlet;
- an image monitor supported on the casing above the air outlet;
- and
- an air handler mounted within the casing in fluid communication between the air inlet and the air outlet to motivate an airflow therethrough,
- wherein the air outlet defines an airflow curtain path extending from the casing along an acute angle defined relative to the vertical direction.
A cooking engagement system for a cooktop appliance comprising a cooktop surface defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction, the cooking engagement system comprising:
- a casing positioned above the cooktop along the vertical direction, the casing extending along the transverse direction between a front end and a rear end, the casing defining an air outlet proximal to the front end and an air inlet proximal to the rear end;
- an image monitor supported on the casing proximal to the front end;
- and
- an air handler mounted within the casing in fluid communication between the air inlet and the air outlet to motivate an airflow therethrough,
