The steam generator sprays steam quickly to the steaming bowls from bottom to top, circles the bowls with steam, thus original nutrition of the food can be kept better. The micro-controlled steam generator enables best cooking time and better taste of food. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120266760 | OUTDOOR GRILL WITH INTEGRATED GRIDDLE - Disclosed is a grill including a firebox having a burning chamber and an open upper end, a first horizontal cooking surface disposed over the burning chamber, a domed lid resting atop the burning chamber and enclosing the first horizontal cooking surface and having an opening through a top side thereof, and a panel resting atop the opening in either a first position in which the panel is a lid portion to close the opening, or a second position in which the panel serves as a second horizontal cooking surface disposed above the first horizontal cooking surface and exposed to the burning chamber through the opening. | 10-25-2012 |
| 20130025472 | APPARATUS FOR TWO SIDED GRILLING IN AN OVEN - A grilling apparatus comprising: an upper cooking grid; a lower cooking grid; at least one pair of connectors movably connecting the upper cooking grid to the lower cooking grid; and a handle which is connected to the pair of connectors to allow the upper and lower cooking grids to move towards and away from one another. | 01-31-2013 |
| 20130112091 | POT WITH DIVIDER SYSTEM - The present invention provides a single pot with a divider system incorporated therein to allow for removably attachable divider to be inserted into the pot to create compartments therein. The divider system includes channels in the pot's surfaces and a seal element therein to mate with the dividers and prevent fluid communication between the compartments within the pot. | 05-09-2013 |
| 20140020570 | Pizza Pan - A pizza pan allows a user, with a single pan, to make a square pizza and a round pizza. Typically, the square pizza will abut against the round pizza at a middle of the round pizza, resulting in a half-round pizza which can be sliced into standard wedge-shaped round pizza slices. The square pizza pan portion can be sized to be about ½ the size of a conventional square pizza pan, for example. This way, instead of a whole round or a whole square pizza, a user can get a half round and a half square pizza in the same order. One embodiment of the pizza pan can be used to create a deep dish half square, half round pizza while another embodiment of the pizza pan can be used to create a half square deep dish pizza and a traditional, half-round pizza. | 01-23-2014 |
