A compact broiler for cooking slabs of meat includes generally vertical infrared and preferably gas fired heating elements spaced apart within a housing to define a cooking zone between them. A mouth through the upper surface of the housing provides access to the cooking zone. A special rack suspends a slab of meat within the cooking zone when in one position and when turned 180 DEG to another position suspends the meat in a warming zone above the mouth. The rack retaining mechanism cooperates with the rack to both center the meat within the cooking zone and retain the rack in place. The housing also defines a dripping collecting zone below the heating zone into which a gutter is positioned for capturing drippings from the meat. A liner including a heat shield positioned above the gutter and generally within the dripping collecting zone deflects heat from the heating members away from the gutter to prevent burning of drippings therein. The space between the heat shield and the gutter is ventilated to further contribute to this cooling with air entering this space being directed upwardly through the heating zone and into the warming zone above the mouth. The liner is insertable and removable through the mouth for cleaning purposes.
