Abstract

An electric cooker includes an upper burner and a lower burner which are adjustably coupled to a control platform. The lower burner is coupled to a pair of wheels (at least one of which is provided with a ratchet stop) which are rotatable about a horizontal axis such that the lower burner can be angled up from horizontal to 45.degree. or more. The upper burner is coupled to the wheels by a pair of floating hinges so that the space between the upper and lower burners is automatically adjustable. The floating hinges are provided with notches and the control platform has a pair of movable bosses which engage the notches to keep the upper burner spaced a fixed distance above the lower burner. The floating hinges also allow for a full 180.degree. rotation so that the upper and lower burners can be arranged as side by side burners. The control platform has separate digital temperature controls for the two burners and is also equipped with a digital timer which automatically turns the cooker off.

A removable drip tray is mounted in the control platform under the lower burner. The griddle plate, the grill the drip tray.
