1. A cooking appliance of the grill or barbecue type, comprising a frame supporting a cooking surface, on which foodstuffs to be cooked can be arranged, and a heating surface arranged opposite said cooking surface, said frame comprising first means designed to allow inclination of said cooking surface with respect to a horizontal plane at an angle α less than 90°, and second means designed to allow inclination of said heating surface with respect to said horizontal plane at an angle β less than 90°, said cooking surface being arranged below said heating surface so that the substances released by the foodstuffs while they cook do not run onto said heating surface, wherein said frame defines a housing whose bottom forms said horizontal plane and designed to accommodate said cooking surface between a storage position in which it lies on the bottom of the housing and a use position in which it is inclined at said angle α to said horizontal plane, and in that said second means comprise a hinge connecting said heating surface to said frame and allowing the displacement of said heating surface between a passive position in which it closes said housing and an active position in which it is inclined at said angle β to said horizontal plane, said housing is open and said cooking surface may be deployed and positioned opposite said heating surface, wherein said heating surface comprises on one of its sides at least one first heat generator defined by an infrared radiation tube and on the other side thereof at least one second heat generator different from said first heat generator to create two different types of cooking.
