Abstract
Steaks, chops, hamburger patties and other meat to be broiled are reciprocated on a reciprocating grill transversely of a pair of elongated spaced apart horizontally disposed upper heat sources. Power means are provided for reciprocating the grill. A horizontal elongated heat source is provided below the grill in parallel relation to the upper heat sources. The meat can be positioned on the grill on a platter, or sheet having upturned edges to retain the juices therein. The upper elongated heat sources are constituted as downwardly firing gas burners having cooking flames supplied from a relatively high pressure gas-air mixture and kindling flames supplied from a lower pressure gas-air mixture. The kindling flames burn at the base of each cooking flame and serve to kindle and maintain such cooking flame.
Claims3
A method of cooking a portion of food including the steps of:
- a. positioning the food on a platter;
- b. positioning the platter with the portion of food thereon over a lower heat source of sufficient intensity to cause said food portion to fry on the heat transmitted from the lower source through the platter;
- c. simultaneously subjecting the food portion to heat from above from an upper heat source of sufficient intensity to cause the food portion to be broiled by the heat from the upper heat source;
- d. reciprocating at least the upper heat source and the food portion horizontally back and forth with respect to each other;
- and
- e. maintaining the food and platter relationship relative to said lower and upper heat sources during reciprocation until cooking of the food to a desired degree is achieved.
