Abstract

A cooking appliance includes a housing having a base portion defining a base cavity and an open top end of the base cavity, a top portion alterable relative to the base portion between an open state and a closed state, and a base locking mechanism coupled to the base portion of the housing. The cooking appliance further includes a first cooking plate removably coupled to the base portion of the housing to close the open top end of the base cavity. The cooking plate defines a first engagement feature and is configured to be locked to the housing via engagement between the base locking mechanism of the base portion and the first engagement feature. The base locking mechanism is alterable into an unlocked state to allow the first cooking plate to be detached from the housing.
