Portable cooking and barbecuing device

摘要

A portable, compact, gas-fired cooking and barbecuing device for frying and boiling food in conventional cooking utensils, or barbecuing food when a barbecuing attachment is utilized. The device includes a bowl-shaped body having a bottom and a relatively deep, cylindrical side wall. A gas burner assembly is mounted in the bowl-shaped body so that the annular burner of the assembly is positioned toward the bottom of the body to protect it from wind effects. Three circumferentially spaced, radially extending support members connect the burner to the cylindrical side wall of the bowl and serve as supports for cooking utensils in which food is to be fried or boiled. Mounting portions on the other ends of the support members extend above the upper edge of the body for supporting large sized cooking utensils. When the lower cylindrical portion of an annular barbecuing attachment is engaged with the support members of the burner assembly, food items may be barbecued on the barbecuing grill of the attachment. The diameter of the upper portion of the attachment is larger than the side wall of the bowl-shaped body to prevent food drippings from falling onto the bowl side wall.
