Apparatus for cooking or heating food or liquids

摘要

The apparatus of this invention relates to a device for heating or cooking food or liquids such as soup, water, roast, etc. A downwardly curved visor-like deflector is selectively removably positioned outwardly of the upper end of the radiation disk of an infrared heater so as to extend outwardly therefrom. The deflector has an upwardly presented cooking utensil opening formed therein and a horizontally disposed cooking utensil support secured to the deflector at the inner surface thereof below the cooking utensil opening. The cooking utensil support dwells in a plane below the upper end of the radiation disk whereby infrared rays emitted from the radiation disk will impinge upon the cooking utensil support and a cooking utensil positioned on the cooking utensil support to cook or heat the contents thereof. Other accessories may also be attached to the heater.

主权项

1. An apparatus for heating or cooking food or the like, comprising:
an infrared heater having a discharge end; said infrared heater including a frame; said infrared heater including a radiation disk, having an upper end, at said discharge end thereof; said radiation disk emitting infrared rays therefrom when said heater is energized; a deflector support selectively removably secured to said frame; a downwardly curved deflector secured to said deflector support whereby said deflector is positioned outwardly of the upper end of said radiation disk and so that said deflector extends outwardly therefrom; said deflector having inner and outer surfaces; said deflector having an upwardly presented cooking utensil opening formed therein; and a horizontally disposed cooking utensil support secured to said deflector at said inner surface thereof below said cooking utensil opening; said cooking utensil support dwelling in a plane below said upper end of said radiation disk whereby infrared rays being emitted from said radiation disk will impinge upon said cooking utensil support and a cooking utensil positioned therein to cook or heat the contents of the cooking utensil positioned on said cooking utensil support.
