ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a roaster, particularly to a roaster having a grill pan placed on a top end of the roaster, an oil-gathering pan disposed in a lower portion of the roaster and a guide tube located below the grill pan. With the guiding of the guide tube, excess oil coming from an article to be grilled firstly is accommodated in the grill pan and then is accumulated in the oil-gathering pan, which makes the grill pan and the roaster easy to clean. Moreover, the roasting in the roaster and the grilling on the grill pan at the same time is capable of fully using the inner and outer spaces of the roaster for saving electricity and achieving the multi-function of roasting and grilling in one roaster.
A known conventional roaster oven
1
as shown in
FIG. 1
, includes a cooking tray
10
and electric heating tubes
11
arranged in the interior of the roaster oven
1
. Under the heating of the electric heating tubes
11
, food to be broiled is heated on the cooking tray
10
. However, excess oil coming from the food and the sauce spread on the surface of the food are dropped and remained in the cooking tray
10
and become scorched under further broiling, which is sure to have great influence on the broiling quality of the food and make the cooking tray
10
difficult to be cleaned. Moreover, a further disadvantage of the conventional roaster oven
1
is that only the inner space, not including the outer space, can be utilized for broiling, which is unable to save electricity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main purpose of the invention is to offer a roaster capable of grilling meat and roasting an article at the same time and easy to keep a grill
The main feature of the invention is that two handles disposed at both sides of an upper portion of the roaster, two opposite racks respectively fixed at a front end and a rear end of the two handles, electric heating tubes arranged between the two handles, an oil-gathering pan located in a lower portion of the roaster, a guide tube disposed in an inner sidewall of the roaster and extending from an inner sidewall of one of the two handles to the oil-gathering pan, and a grill pan which is located on a top end of the roaster and of which bottom is connected with the guide tube so that excess oil and sauce remained in the grill pan will be guided through the guide tube into the oil-gathering pan.
