Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a grilling appliance that overcomes the shortcomings of conventional grills. The grilling appliance is designed with upper and lower conveyor belts that are made of PTFE, which prevents food from sticking to them. This allows the food to be cooked properly and results in a tasty final product. The grilling appliance can accommodate different foods and the conveyor belts can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement.

Problems solved by technology

The operational drawback or disadvantage of such apparatus, equipment, or appliances, however, is the fact that the cooking time is effectively monitored and necessarily controlled by means of the personnel doing the grilling or cooking, with the result that sometimes, the food is undercooked, overcooked, or even burned, neither one of which operations and resulting conditions produces a satisfactory and tasty end food product.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1-5 thereof, a new and improved conveyor-type grilling appliance for cooking or re-thermalizing food is disclosed and is generally indicated by the reference character 100. More particularly, it is seen that the new and improved conveyor-type grilling appliance 100 comprises a housing 102 within which a pair upper and lower conveyor belts 104, 106 are disposed as can best be appreciated from FIGS. 1,3, and 4. The upper and lower conveyor belts 104,106 are endless conveyor belts that flow through the housing 102 from a food product input or entrance end 108 of the housing 102 to a food product output or exit / discharge end 110 of the housing 102. The upper conveyor belt 104 is wholly enclosed within the housing 102, while the opposite ends of the lower conveyor belt 106 extend beyond each end of the housing 102. In this manner, a first movable platform region 112 of the lower conveyor belt 106 is defined at the food p...

Abstract

A grilling appliance is disclosed for preparing various different types of food wherein the food is conveyed through the appliance, from a food insert end of the appliance to a food removal end of the appliance, by means of continuously movable flow-through upper and lower cooperating conveyors operatively associated with platen-type heating members over which the upper and lower conveyors are conveyed so as to be heated by the platen-type heating members and thereby, in turn, heat, brown, or carmelize the food as desired or required.
