A cooking appliance which is capable of rapidly toasting a food product disposed therein by air impingement and infrared heating to provide a cooked food product having the desired color and crunchiness about its surface. The appliance is particularly adapted for cooking sandwich products, toasting

A cooking appliance which is capable of rapidly toasting a food product disposed therein by air impingement and infrared heating to provide a cooked food product having the desired color and crunchiness about its surface. The appliance is particularly adapted for cooking sandwich products, toasting the bread and heating the sandwich filler. The appliance includes an air impingement assembly that delivers columns of heated air to the food product and an infrared heater assembly that produces infrared energy. The appliance delivers the impingement air from above the food product and the infrared energy from below. Alternatively, the appliance delivers the impingement air from above and below the food product and the infrared energy from below.

The apparatus of claim 8 further comprising a shaft attached to the airfoil and the base for supporting the airfoil. 10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the at least one base comprises 2 bases attached to opposite ends of the airfoil. 11. A method for measuring at least one characteristic of exhaust gas flowing from an outlet of a jet engine, the method comprising: (a) providing an airfoil having an edge; (b) mounting a sensor on the edge of the airfoil; (c) locating the airfoil downstream of a jet-engine exhaust gas outlet, the airfoil being rotatable about an axis generally parallel to the edge; (d) rotating the airfoil about the axis to position the sensor in a leading position relative to exhaust gas flowing from the outlet; (e) measuring a characteristic of the exhaust gas with the sensor as the exhaust gas impinges on the sensor. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein: step (a) comprises providing an airfoil having two opposed edges; step (b) comprises mounting a sensor on each edge; and step (d) comprises rotating the airfoil to position one of the sensors in a leading position relative to the exhaust gas, the other of the sensors being in a trailing position relative to the exhaust gas.
