ABSTRACT:
An electric cooking unit, a gas-fired cooking unit, and a burner assembly usable with the gas-fired unit for rapidly or slowly grilling large or small quantities of food in a controlled manner. The cooking unit includes side walls defining a heating enclosure, a plurality of food holding members supported by top surfaces of the side walls for positioning food within the heating enclosure, a grate assembly mounted within the heating enclosure for supporting a bed of refractory coals below the food holding members, and gas-fired or electric heating elements for heating the grate assembly and heating the bed of refractory coals to incandescent temperatures. When the cooking unit is gas-fired, the unit includes a plurality of burner assemblies which can be individually controlled, each assembly having a flame guard assembly releasably mounted on a tubular member having a plurality of apertures for distributing a cooking gas within the heating enclosure. The flame guard assembly has a shield positioned above the tubular member so that hot combustion products flow upwardly around side edges of the shield to heat the grate assembly and the refractory coals. The cooking unit and a method using the cooking unit are designed for selectively rapidly heating or slowly heating large or small quantities of food product, such as pieces of beef and ham having pre-cooked weights greater than five pounds.
