PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for use in Cooking by the
Aid of Gas.
RICHARD GOEHDE of 12 Leipziger Platz in the City of Berlin in the
Kingdom of Prussia and German Empire, Engineer do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows :—
This invention relates to a gas-cooking apparatus and consists in the main in
such an arrangement of the apparatus that the meat or article to be cooked placed
upon a gridiron is exposed at one and the same time to the direct influence of heat
from above and from below which heat is produced by a series of burners, which
"and these burners in sets
are arranged conveniently above and below the "roaster
can be regulated independently of each other.
The apertures of the burners are preferably turned towards the "roaster."
In consequence of this arrangement the fatty matter on the upper and under side
in the case of meat are acted upon at once and by means of the two layers of
melted fat thus formed the moisture in the meat is kept in; moreover the meat is
in a short time roasted equally on both sides without needing to be turned.
The burners of the lower series are protected from the dropping liquid by drip-
plates fitted conveniently beneath the roaster.
These plates allow the liquid to flow into a vessel placed beneath the lower series
of burners in a convenient manner and these plates are inclined suitably for leading
the liquid into a collecting vessel.
This vessel is provided with suitable openings in order to admit of air supply
and the edges of these openings are bent up in order to prevent outflow.
The products of combustion and fumes are allowed to escape from the apparatus
by a suitable outlet.
If desired the burners can also be arranged so that they can operate on all sides
of the meat.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for use in Cooking by the
Aid of Gas.
I, RICHARD GOEHDE, of No. 12, Leipziger Platz, in the City of Berlin, in
the Kingdom of Prussia and German Empire, Engineer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a gas-cooking apparatus and it consists mainly in such
arrangement of the apparatus that the meat or article placed upon a gridiron is
exposed simultaneously to the direct influence of heat from above and from below,
the said heat being produced by two sets of gas-burners arranged respectively

page_text: containing the gridiron a. Below the latter is arranged the gas-pipe from which
branch off the perforated pipes e constituting the lower burners, while above the
gridiron there is the gas-pipe d carrying the perforated pipes e that form the upper
Burners. Each set of burners may be regulated independently of the other by the
gas-cocks and h.
By these means the, meat to be grilled is acted upon at the same time by the
upper and the lower gas flames, and the advantage is attained that a crust of
coagulated albumen is formed at once on both sides of the meat, whereby the juice
is retained as much as possible. Besides this the neat is completely done within a
shorter time than otherwise, and it does not require to be turned.
.
Below the lower burners is arranged a vessel for collecting the juice and fat
dripping from the meat while being grilled, the said. vessel consisting in an inclined
pan khaving at its lower edge a gutter. Under the burner-tubesce the pansk is
provided with openings for admitting air to the burners, and these openings have
their edges bent up in order to prevent the drippings from flowing, out through
them: The lower burners are protected from the dripping.liquid by drip-plates i
fixed beneath the gridiron.
The products of combustion and fumes are allowed. to escape from the apparatus
by outlets z..
If desired other burners may be arranged within the. apparatus, for instance
ate and w, so that the heat produced by the same will act on the sides of the
meat.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this.inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claini-is:
In an apparatus for grilling meat, the combination of. a gridiron and two sets of
gas-burners arranged respectively below and above the said gridiron, substantially
as described..
