Abstract

An electric broiler for hamburgers and the like has a supporting frame on which an endless bar conveyor is arranged to advance longitudinally with the conveyor upper run and the conveyor lower run in generally horizontal planes. A set of upper electric heating rods extends longitudinally and transversely of the frame above the upper run, and a set of lower electric heating rods extends horizontally and transversely of the frame below the lower run. Below the lower heating rods on the frame are longitudinally extending radiation baffle boxes generally rectangular in cross-section and arranged with their diagonals substantially vertical and spaced apart transversely to allow drippings to pass between them. There are radiation reflecting dihedral plates extending horizontally and longitudinally on the frame above the upper rods, the dihedral plates being supplemented by top plates supported by the dihedral plates but being largely spaced above the dihedral plates to provide dead air spaces.
