Rotisserie oven having horizontally and vertically oriented cooking elements
View Patent ↗Indoor use rotisserie ovens which have construction features and scale which make the cleaning process easier. Shown are indoor use rotisserie ovens which also may rotate cooking foods about either a horizontal or vertical axis, which makes their applications more versatile. Construction features include: a scale appropriate for cleaning in a typical kitchen sink, use of removable electrical components, and single oven wall construction, all to allow easy cabinet cleaning. Also shown is a locking tab manufacturing detail which creates an inexpensive, light weight, oven cavity, which is easy to clean and also permits oven cavity washing and/or immersion in water. This manufacturing detail also is easy to handle by the end-user without projecting sharp edges. Self lubricated spit assembly axles are shown as well to help deaden sound.
1. A method to cook elongated breads using an elongated housing having a substantially horizontal rotational axis and a heat transmissive perimeter wall, and a heat source positioned exterior to the housing, and radiating heat through the heat transmissive perimeter wall to the interior of the housing, and a rotational power source coupled to and rotating the housing on its substantially horizontal rotational axis, and the method comprising the steps of:
placing bread dough into the elongated housing,
activating the heat source and rotational power source,
allowing time for the bread dough to cook,
removing the cooked bread dough from the elongated housing.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the heat transmissive perimeter wall comprises wire screen.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein both the elongated housing and the heat source are located in an oven enclosure.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the rotational power source comprises an electric motor.
5. A method to cook elongated breads using a first and a second elongated housing each sharing a substantially horizontal rotational axis and each having heat transmissive perimeter walls, and a heat source positioned exterior to the housings, and radiating heat through the heat transmissive perimeter walls to the interiors of each housing, and a rotational power source coupled to and rotating both housings on their shared substantially horizontal rotational axis, and the method comprising the steps of:
placing bread dough into both elongated housings,
activating the heat source and rotational power source,
allowing time for the bread dough to cook,
removing the cooked bread dough from both elongated housings.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein the heat transmissive perimeter walls comprise wire screen.
7. The method of claim 5 wherein both the elongated housings and the heat source are located in an oven enclosure.
8. The method of claim 5 wherein the rotational power source comprises an electric motor.
