Abstract:

A cooking grill with automatically rotatable food supporting racks. The grill comprises a container including an essentially closed lower horizontal plate, generally vertical disposed plates and an open upper edge with peripheral walls. A pair of support racks are supported by the peripheral wall. Each of the racks is comprised of a lower apertured plate of open mesh upon which the food to be cooked may be placed. An upper apertured plate of open mesh is adapted to be positioned over the food. Hinges couple the upper and lower plates and a releasable clamp couples together the plates. A support couples the edges of each of the racks for rotatable movement of each of the racks independent of the movement of the other of the racks. Such coupling supports include rods extending outwardly and secured at their interior ends to the lower racks with their exterior ends supported in bearing assemblies. A tubular support surrounds each of the rods.
