Abstract
A food cooking device includes a housing with an inclined platen or top surface mounted thereon. A heating assembly for heating the platen is included in the housing along with a drawer into which food items may be placed for warming. A grid including a plurality of rods extending transversely across the inclined platen is slideably mounted on the platen and connected by a linkage assembly to a rotary motor. The linkage assembly translates the rotary motion of the motor to linear reciprocating motion that is imparted to the grid. Food items may be positioned on the platen between adjacent rods to be moved a predetermined distance over the platen by the reciprocating rods to ensure cooking on all sides of the food item.
Claims8
An apparatus for heating food items, comprising:
- a housing,
- an inclined platen mounted on said housing,
- means for heating said platen,
- a grid slideably positioned on said platen, said grid including a plurality of food item supports extending across said inclined platen, and
- means for reciprocally sliding said grid up and down on said inclined platen.
An apparatus for cooking food, comprising:
- a housing, said housing including an inclined top surface, means for heating said top surface, a food moving assembly slideably mounted on said top surface for moving said food over said top surface for fully cooking said food, said food moving assembly including a grid with a plurality of rods extending transversely of said top surface, said rods being spaced a predetermined distance to allow placement of said food between adjacent rods allowing said rods to move said food a prdetermined distance over said top surface for complete cooking thereof, and means for reciprocally moving said grid up and down over said top surface.
