Abstract

A cooking apparatus includes a heater with high heat output and a baffle carried outwardly of the heater on at least one side thereof to intercept substantially the heat radiated in the direction of the baffle and to increase the flexibility in the installation of the cooking apparatus. The heater and baffle can be combined in a removable unit that is particularly adapted for grilling foods in a proximity ventilated cooktop and the baffle can be located in the air flow generated in the operation of the apparatus.
