Abstract
Disclosure is an appliance for use in conjunction with the electrical resistance cooking of an electrically high conducting food substance within an electrode type cooking package which comprises: A housing defining a packaged food cooking compartment; and retractable plunging means located at opposite ends of said cooking compartment which urge intimate electrical contact between an electrically high conducting food substance held within a subject food containing package, said package being set within the food cooking compartment, and at least two electrical contacts located at the inside surfaces of diametrically opposite ends of said imparting a regulated electrical current for finite time periods to said electrical contacts, forcing current through a subject electrically high conducting food substance, cooking same by conversion of electrical energy into heat without undesirable arcing or food burning; and a protective cover which may exist in an open or closed position. When closed said cover seals the cooking compartment and closes the electrical circuit for added safety during operation. Functionally this invention is designed to enclose an electrode type cooking package, ho…
