ABSTRACT:
A food heating or cooking appliance has at least one electrical heating element within its interior that is adjustable in position so as to be able to be moved close to thin or small food items under the control of a manually actuated control. A separator plate that extends across the interior chamber of the appliance from side to side and from front to back is movable with the heating element to enable adjustment of the volumetric size of the cooking chamber containing the heating element and the food to be heated or cooked. A manual actuator, a knob or lever, for example, moves the heating element and the separator plate through a motion transfer bar that extends across the width of the appliance and is attached to a linkage on each side of the appliance to communicate movement to a pair of movable supports supporting the rod-like heating element at each of its ends and the separator plate at opposite edges.
