Zero clearance combination oven

11092343

2021-08-17

A commercial oven, such as a combination oven providing steam and convection heating, may provide an equipment cabinet holding electronic equipment and having an external wall abutting other heating apparatus. The external wall includes an interior plenum through which air is circulated to provide compact virtual insulation from external heat sources.

Food service oven with multipoint temperature monitoring

10599168

2020-03-04

An oven having multiple oven cavity temperature sensors that provide improved monitoring of oven temperature and that permit improved oven temperature control is provided. Multiple temperature values from the different sensors may be combined or analyzed to provide a more consistent and accurate measurement of the temperature of the food being cooked. Patterns of temperature as a function of location in the oven cavity may be analyzed to detect abnormal but correctable temperature inhomogeneities (for example, cold spots or stratification) and used to adjust parameters of the oven control, (for example, by fan speed/direction adjustment, cycle control of the fan and heater elements) to provide more even temperature distributions.

Ventless oven hood for combination oven providing rapid access

10364992

2019-07-30

A ventless fume hood is integrated with an oven to anticipate a conclusion of the cooking schedule executed by the oven and in this way to provide direct venting of the oven cavity before the oven door is opened. Proper venting of a multimode combination oven may be thereby performed and the door may be opened up immediately upon conclusion of the cooking schedule without the delay otherwise required to collect cooking fumes escaping through the partially open door.
