A cooking unit has a gas burner, which supports a pair of nested cooking containers. An inner cooking container has perforated wall structure to allow cooking medium deposited in the outer cooking container to cook items inside the inner container. A pivotal lid closes the containers during cooking and serves as a guiding chute when the cover is open and food is dumped from the inner container. A handle secured on an end wall of the inner container extends substantially horizontally, allowing a one-hand maneuvering of the inner container.
