Description

The invention relates to an eco-grill pan for grilling and frying food, in particular meat dishes, using charcoal, gas, electric grills or other heating devices. / The eco-grill pan is bowl-shaped, has a surrounding edge, a grill surface formed by grill bars arranged at a distance from one another and grease drainage channels in between, and with a grease collection channel.

A known grill pan of this type (DE-GM 82 28 063.0) consists of a one-piece metal foil with a surrounding flanged edge and a grill surface formed by a series of essentially evenly spaced grooves with beads in between. A collecting channel is provided on both narrow sides of the grill pan and the two collecting channels are connected to one another by the two grooves that are arranged adjacent to the flanged edge on the two long sides of the grill pan. Recesses are incorporated into the beads through which the radiation from the grill fire can hit the food to be grilled directly, which lies on the grill surface immediately above the recesses.

This well-known grill pan poses the problem of health risks as well as an increase in the amount of waste and thus increased environmental pollution. The fat from the meat heated by the radiation from the grill fire drips directly through the recesses in the bulges into the grill fire and burns, forming a lot of soot. This poses the problem of the formation of carcinogens that are hazardous to health. It is known that when the dripping fat, especially benzene and its homologues, is burned, the flame that produces a lot of soot contains fused aromatic hydrocarbons as solid substances, including 3,4-benzopyrene, which is known to be carcinogenic and reaches the food being grilled with the rising soot. Furthermore, the increased development of smoke and fumes during fat burning is just as much a factor in undesirable environmental pollution as the increased amount of waste caused by the metal foil that has to be thrown away after the grill pan has been used.

Another known device (DE 41 16 809 Al) is for frying and grilling food. It is made of sheet metal in the form of a flat bowl and has a corrugated base with alternating elevations and valleys. The valleys have a large number of openings that allow droplets of fat to pass through. A variant of this device has openings and recesses at the highest points of the elevations.

Both designs of this device have the disadvantage that when grilling, fat drips into the heat source through the openings (less so in the second version) and burns with a lot of soot and smoke.

Furthermore, a number of inventions (G 91 11 331.1, P 42 03 726.3, G 92 02 165.4, G 92 05 270.3, g 92 11 331.1 etc.) are known that enable ecological grilling without endangering health. To prevent fat from dripping into the heat source, the flanks of the one-piece eco-grill pan in these inventions are designed to overlap. However, this overlap requires additional, costly deformation or formation of the flanks in the cast piece.

The invention is therefore based on the object of simplifying the flank formation without impairing the function.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the eco-grill pan has a continuous contour of the sides on the top and bottom. The ventilation openings are placed in the sides at a certain angle in relation to the grill surface plane, with the slot width of the ventilation opening being selected so that the drip edge is still within the fat drain channel. Since this eco-grill pan is a cast version, the continuous contour leads to a reduction in model and tool costs, especially in die casting.

A preferred embodiment of the eco-grill pan according to the invention is now explained with reference to the drawings. These include:

Claims (6)

• · Eco-grill pan protection claims/patent claims 1. Eco-grill pan in a bowl-shaped form with a surrounding edge, a grill surface formed by grill bars arranged at a distance from one another and grease drainage channels in between, and with a transverse grease collection channel, characterized in that a) it is formed as a single piece as a cast piece in such a way that the flanks (12) of the grill bars (4) and the flanks (12) of the fat drain channels (5) or the fat collection channel (6) lie in a flank plane-top (20); that b) the flanks (12) of the grill bars (4) of the fat drain channels (5) lie on both sides in a flank plane-bottom (21); that c) at least in one connecting web (28) between the grill rod (4) and the grease drainage channel (5) or the grease collecting channel (7) there is a ventilation opening/slot (13) which is arranged in such a way that the angle (19) of the ventilation opening (13) in relation to the grill surface plane (3,22) is greater than zero degrees, whereby a grease drip edge (10) is formed on each grill rod (4) which is lower than the surface (3) of the grill rod (4) and between the upper edges (17) of the associated grease drainage channel (5); that d) the slot width (23), the angle (19), the height of the ventilation opening (13) and the flank angle (29) are selected in accordance with the flank thickness (30) so that the fat drip edge (10) is still within the fat drain channel (5) and the dripping fat/juice (8) is caught by it; that e) there is at least one fat collecting channel (7) lying transversely to the grill bars (4); that f) the eco-grill pan (1) has two handles (24) with a curved handle (27) so that the grill pan can be used to pour out the food and the grill juice can be poured off via a shaped spout (32);that g) the eco-grill pan (1) is provided with a tray (25) with an edge (33), two handles (34) and four recesses (26) for the support into which the eco-grill pan (1) can be placed, supporting the edge (2); that h) the eco-grill pan (1) is provided with an elongated rectangular lid. • * 2.
