Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Simone; Timothy F.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Goodloe, Jr.; R. Reams
A cooking apparatus for alternately cooking, broiling, or grilling foods in a single vessel. The apparatus includes a lower pan portion which is supported by a lower frame portion. An upper frame portion is pivotally supported from the lower pan portion. A upper lid portion is provided, wherein the lid portion is pivotally affixed to the upper frame portion. The lid portion includes a top portion and a grille portion. The grille portion of the lid is the inner wall surface of the top portion, and is thus located in the upper reaches of the lid portion when the lid portion is in a cooking position. When the lid is rotated one hundred eighty (180) degrees, the grille portion provides an upwardly exposed grille surface for food preparation. The lid portion is shaped suitable for nesting in the bottom portion when the upper frame portion is returned to a normal cooking position. The dutch oven type cook system has heating fluid in the passageways between the double walls and cooks from the sides, top, and bottom with hot oil. Alternately, all or a portion of the unit may be heated electrically. A bottom draw off is provided to allow cryovac chill of the pan contents. |
