A tray for a microwave oven and a microwave oven having the same is disclosed. Heat generators are formed on the surface of a tray unit of the tray for a microwave oven through transfer coating carried out at a high temperature, and thus the tray for a microwave oven may be heated to a high temperature, thereby being capable of effectively forming a grill mark on food to be cooked.

Tray for microwave oven

An oven having enhanced cooling efficiency. The oven includes a cooking chamber, a door to open or close a front side of the cooking chamber, a cooling fan located above the cooking chamber to suction and blow outside air, a discharge duct to discharge the air, blown by the cooling fan, forward of the door, a plurality of flow-paths defined in the door to allow outside air to be introduced into and moved in the flow-path in association with discharge of the air through the discharge duct, and a suction pipe to connect at least one of the flow-paths and the cooling fan to each other. Suction force of the cooling fan is applied to the flow-paths of the door through the suction pipe as well as the interior of an electric machine room, allowing the air in the flow-path to be discharged to the outside through the suction pipe and the discharge duct. This assures more active air movement in the door and maximizes the cooling effect of the door.

Oven

A cooking apparatus equipped with a heating device enabling uniform distribution of heat. The cooking apparatus includes a plate to put a cooker thereon, a heater disposed under the plate, and a guide member disposed between the plate and the heater to induce energy emitted from the heater toward the plate.

Cooking apparatus

Disclosed herein is a cooking apparatus that is capable of partially heating a cooking chamber depending upon an amount of food to be cooked through a relatively simple mechanical structure without using an additional control unit. The cooking apparatus includes a cooking chamber, a hot air supply unit to supply hot air into the cooking chamber, and a divider to divide the cooking chamber. The hot air supply unit includes a heater, a blowing fan to supply air heated by the heater into the cooking chamber, a fan cover having inlet holes and outlet holes, an opening and closing cover to partially open and close the inlet holes and the outlet holes of the fan cover, and interlocking units operating together with the attachment and detachment of the divider to move the opening and closing cover.

Cooking apparatus with divider

A heating cooking apparatus including a body, a steam container, a steam heater, and a heater covering portion. The body has a cooking compartment in which food is disposed. The steam container includes a chamber, a water supply portion to supply water into the chamber, and a steam discharge portion to discharge steam generated in the chamber into the cooking compartment. The steam heater has a chamber bottom forming portion that is coupled to a lower end of the steam container so as to cover a bottom of the chamber and adapted to heat water supplied into the chamber. The heater covering portion is configured to cover a rim of the steam heater. Covering the rim of the steam heater using the heater covering portion alleviates the risk of power leakage accidents caused when water at the outside of a steam generator comes into contact with the steam heater.

Steam generator and heating cooking apparatus having the same

The water level sensing unit includes a sensing member having a sensor, the sensing member being installed at a side of the steam container, and a pivoting member having an extension adapted to pivotally rotate about a side thereof having a fixed position on the basis of the level of water. The sensor is adapted to sense positional variation of the extension, to thereby sense variation of the level of water in the steam container.

Water level sensing unit, steam generator having the same, and heating cooking apparatus having the steam generator

A steam generator capable of preventing scale contained in air bubbles and water droplets generated in the course of boiling water by a heater from entering a steam ejection hole and a heating cooking apparatus having the steam generator is provided. The steam generator includes a steam container to store water and having at least one steam ejection hole formed at an upper location thereof, a heater adapted to heat the water stored in the steam container so as to generate steam, and a barrier unit provided below the steam ejection hole and adapted to prevent the air bubbles from entering the steam ejection hole. The barrier unit includes a base plate having a plurality of steam passage holes and a web plate coming into close contact with an inner wall surface of the steam container.

A coating composition and a cooking device and/or cooking receptacle coated with the coating composition are described. The coating composition includes 10 to 30 wt. % of SiO, 10 to 30 wt. % of PO, 10 to 30 wt. % of AlO, 1 to 20 wt. % of TiO, 7 to 15 wt. % of NaO, 7 to 15 wt. % of KO, 5 to 10 wt. % of ZrO, 2 to 5 wt. % of BaO, 2 to 5 wt. % of BO, 1 to 2 wt. % of MnO, and an adhesion enhancer. The coating composition provides favorable thermal resistance, acid resistance and mechanical properties, such that a cooking device and/or receptacle coated with the coating composition may be easily cleaned at a relatively low temperature.
