Abstract
A cooking apparatus may include a main body. A substantially solid cooking surface may be coupled to the main body. A lid may also be coupled to the main body. A cavity may be positioned above the substantially solid cooking surface when the lid is in a closed position. A first opening may open into the cavity. The first opening may be configured to allow heated air to circumvent the substantially solid cooking surface and to flow into the cavity.
Claims20
A cooking apparatus comprising:
- a main body;
- a substantially solid cook pan supported by the main body, the substantially solid cook pan comprising a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer;
- a lid configured to fit the main body to allow covered cooking;
- and
- a lower cavity positioned below the substantially solid cook pan and an upper cavity positioned above the substantially solid cook pan when the lid is in a closed position, the substantially solid cook pan extending at least partially between the upper cavity and the lower cavity and creating a thermal differential between the upper cavity and the lower cavity.
A griddle assembly with a pivoting lid, the griddle assembly comprising:
- a cook pan;
- a main body having at least one hinge, the pivoting lid hingedly connected to the main body and configured to transition between an insulating position, a venting position, and a breakout position;
- wherein, in the insulating position, the pivoting lid is closed and at least partially contains heated air in a cavity above the cook pan;
- wherein, in the venting position, the pivoting lid rotates about the at least one hinge to be at least 65 degrees from the cook pan;
- and
- wherein, in the breakout position, the pivoting lid rotates about the at least one hinge to be at least 210 degrees from the cook pan.
A cooking apparatus comprising:
- a main body;
- a substantially solid cook pan supported by the main body, the substantially solid cook pan comprising a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer;
- a lid configured to fit the main body to allow covered cooking;
- a lower cavity below the substantially solid cook pan and an upper cavity above the substantially solid cook pan when the lid is in a closed position, the main body being configured to sustain a temperature differential between the upper cavity and the lower cavity;
- and
- a heat distributor coupled to the third layer and extending into the lower cavity, the heat distributor configured to convert radiative heat into conductive heat.
