Convection oven

A convection oven designed to rest on a supporting surface such as a countertop, comprising:

• a frame comprising a base member which rests on the supporting surface and two upright members extending upwardly from the base member, each of the upright members having a supporting surface located at an upper end thereof;
• a cooking chamber for holding food to be cooked, the cooking chamber being removably supported by the frame and comprising an upper enclosure member and a lower enclosure member, the upper enclosure member having an outer edge;
• a housing attached to the upper enclosure member, the housing comprising a central portion and two arms extending outwardly from the central portion, the arms each having a peripheral portion which extends beyond the outer edge of the upper enclosure member, wherein the peripheral portion of the arms rests on the supporting surface of the upright members;
• heating means attached to the housing for heating air within the cooking chamber;
• and
• air-moving means attached to the housing for moving air within the cooking chamber.

• heating means for heating air within the cooking chamber;
• air-moving means for moving air within the cooking chamber;
• and
• at least one extension ring, the extension ring comprising:
• a ring designed to be removably placed between the upper enclosure member and the lower enclosure member so as to increase the height of the cooking chamber;
• and
• handle means attached to the ring which can be gripped so as to selectively place the ring in between or remove the ring from between the upper enclosure member and the lower enclosure member, wherein the handle means comprises two spacers, each of the spacers having opposing side walls and a back wall.
