Description
3 13~892 This invention rqlates to an elec~ric oven, and in particular to a portable oven comprising a lower portion or base and an upper portion or cover.
A disadvantage of existing portable electric ovens is that the heating is not uniform, resulting in the lower parts of foods becoming burnt while the upper parts do not become brown.
An object of this invention is to provide an oven which avoids or substantially reduces this disadvantage.
According to this invention there is provided a portable electric oven comprising a lower portion having three support legs depending therefrom, an upper portion hingedly connected to the lower portion and movable relative to the lower portion between a closed position and an open position of said oven, and an electrical heating resistance in each of said lower and upper portions secured in the respective portion by means of insulating material, the lower portion further comprising a metal plate disposed above the heating resistance in said lower portion, and the upper portion including a refractory glass window therein.
The invention will be further understood from the following description with reference to the accompanying draw-`~ ings, in which:
Figure l is a perspective view of an oven according to an embodiment of the invention, the oven being closed;
Figure ~ is a perspective view of the oven of Fig. lwhen open; and Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the oven of Figs.

1 and 2.
Referring to the drawings, an oven 1 comprises a lower portion or base 2 and an upper portion or cover 3 in which electrical heating resistances 5 are located in a circular shape, the resistances 5 being secured by means of several small sheets 6 of an insulating material. The lower portion
2 includes a similar arrangement of heating resistances 5 as shown in ~ig. 3, covered by an aluminimum plate 4. The plate 4 may also have a peripheral channel or slot which is used for collecting and removing fats or spilled liquids.
The lower portion 2 has three small legs 8 depending therefrom for seating the same. The upper portion 3 is pro-vided with a refractory glass window 7 to enable observation of food being cooked or baked. Handles 9 are provided to assist in opening the oven and for carrying the oven.
The two portions 2 and 3 are joined together opposite the handles 9 by means of hinges 10. Connectors 11 are provided for connection to the heating resistances for supplying electrical power thereto.
The oven may be used for broiling meats which may be directly placed on the plate 4, or refractory molds or con-tainers may be placed on this plate if cakes or other kinds of food are to be baked.
Although a circular shaped oven is illustrated, the oven ; 25 may have other configurations, such as oval, square or rectangular, as desired. Also as shown, the lower portion 2 is slightly higher than the upper portion or cover 3, but these relative heights may be varied especially for broiling poultry, for example, when it is desirable for the upper portion 3 to be higher.
Various other modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
