(57) : According to one embodiment, a portable induction cooking device includes a housing having a top platen surface, a IN bottomwall, and a sidewall defining an interior space. The interior space includes a first portion and a second portion. The device C further includes an intake including one or more openings extending through the sidewall, and a vent including one or more open - N ings extending through the sidewall. The device also includes one or more fans that each include a first inlet that draws air into the 0 fan from the first portion, and a first outlet that discharges air out of the fan into the second portion. The one or more fans are con- figured to draw air into the housing through the intake in a first generally horizontal direction and are further configured to discharge air out of the housing through the vent in a second generally horizontal direction.
