Abstract
Abstract A completely portable broiler which comprises an enclosure having a single gas burner located above a heat retaining metal casting assembled in the bottom of the enclosure, which upon being preheated, permits food to be cooked on both sides simultaneously without the flame touching the food, or without burning any liquid, such as fat, which is emitted from the food while cooking. The enclosure includes a door at one side together with openings to enable upward ventilation through the oven while cooking, aided by exhaust openings along the top of the rear wall.
