Abstract
A cooking device with a heating chamber therein. A drawer with a body portion having a heating container and a door that closes the heating chamber when the heating container is inserted into the heating chamber. A moving mechanism operable to engage the door in a manner to support the drawer while moving it from a closed position in which the door closes the heating chamber with the heating container inserted into the heating chamber to an open position with the heating container outside of the open heating chamber to permit objects to be placed in and removed from the exposed heating container. In order to facilitate easy access to the heating container when the drawer is in the open position, the moving mechanism is positioned below the heating container.
