ABSTRACT:
A cooking apparatus for alternately cooking, broiling, or grilling foods in a single vessel. The apparatus includes a bottom pan portion which is supported by a lower frame portion. An upper frame is pivotally supported from the bottom pan portion. A top portion is provided, wherein the top portion is pivotally affixed to the upper frame. The top portion includes a reversible combination lid portion and a grille portion. The grille portion of the top portion is the inner wall surface of the lid portion, and is thus located in the upper reaches of the lid portion when the lid portion is in a cooking position. When the top portion is rotated one hundred eighty (180) degrees, the grille portion provides an upwardly exposed grille surface for food preparation. The top portion is shaped suitable for nesting in the bottom pan portion when the upper frame is returned to a normal, grille cooking position. The dutch oven type cook system has heating fluid in the passageways between the double walls and cooks from the sides, top, and bottom with hot oil. Alternately, all or a portion of the unit may be heated electrically. A bottom draw off drain line is provided to allow cryovac chill of the bottom pan portion contents.
