A cooking appliance, such as a gas grill, includes a cooking pit, at least one radiant gas burner on a side wall of the pit, a receptacle for collecting liquid and cooking juices, and a bottom assembly which is heat-retaining and permeable with respect to the liquids flowing toward the collecting receptacle. The cooking appliance further includes a water spray assembly which allows steam cooking.

Cooking appliance of the gas grill type

A heating apparatus has a catalytic burner and a thermal receiver which consumes at least one portion of the heat generated by the catalytic burner. The catalytic burner has a member for ejecting a flow of combustible gas, a member for admixing primary air with the flow of combustible gas to obtain a mixture to be burnt, a chamber for distributing the mixture, and a catalytic combustion structure in communication with the distribution chamber. The combustible gas travels into an upstream face of the catalytic combustion structure, and combustion exhaust gases are removed through a downstream face of the catalytic combustion structure. A radiating flameless combustion front is located in the vicinity of the upstream face of the catalytic combustion structure during operation. A thermal receiver extends along virtually the entire surface of the upstream face of the catalytic structure and receives thermal energy. The thermal receiver is arranged to dissipate, on the side opposite the upstream face of the catalytic structure, at least 30% of the thermal energy received.
