648,755. Electric cookers. FEKETEY, A. F. Feb. 10, 1948, No. 5254/47. [Class 39(iii) [Also in Group XVII] A cooker comprises a frame with a heat reflector 1A, which may be part of the frame or built in separately or removable for reversal, and a removable sheathed electric heating element 2 mounted on the frame within the focus of the reflector so that neither the heater 2 nor its support passes through the reflector; and air gaps extend between dishes in the cooker and the frame walls, which absorb heat from the heater. A thermostat or switch is attached at 1B to the frame, which is of porcelain, glass or metal. The reflector is of metal-coated fireproof glass or porcelain. The sheathed heater 2 is attached to a flange 3A with a plug 3 for ready removal. Openings 2B in the base of the frame and adjustable openings 5, 30 in the sides of the frame allow ventilation. Dishes are supported at different distances from the heater on detachable apertured plates 7-11, which may be subdivided in interlocking flat rings. The top of the heater may be closed by interengaging rings 12-16, some of which may be removed to allow insertion of dishes with flanged top edges to rest on the remaining rings. In Fig. 4, the top of the heater may be in two sections 22A, 22B mounted to pivot on hinges 22D so that the sections may swing horizontally apart to give access to the sheathed heater 31 for contact cooking by placing a dish on the heater, or for inspection or cooking of dishes supported by the sections. An apertured tray 33 attached to section 22A swings out therewith. The reflector is placed above or below the heater, and the base of the frame carries a water vessel with an immersion heater 24.
