Abstract
A broiling oven formed by an oven liner and an access door. Two electric radiant heating elements are located beneath the top wall of the oven liner. A hinged reflective plate is supported at each side of the innermost heating element. When these plates are lowered they form a miniature broiling compartment using the innermost heating element. When they are raised both heating elements may be operated together or separately.
