Abstract
An air-based fryer apparatus (100) includes a shield (101) for use in a cooking apparatus (100), the cooking apparatus having a food preparation chamber (102) to receive a food support (103), a system (104) for circulating a flow of hot air inside the food preparation chamber (102) and a heating element (105) to heat at least the circulated air. The shield (101), disposed between the heating element (105) and the food support (103), comprises a plurality of inclined surfaces (112) and a plurality of apertures (111) between the inclined surfaces (112) through which the flow of hot air can pass. The inclined surfaces (112) block a direct line of sight through the apertures (111) in the shield (101) from the heating element (105) to the food support (103) to prevent air flowing from the food support (103) to the heating element (105) through the apertures without being deflected by the inclined surfaces.
