Device for cooking or heating food

The invention relates to a device for cooking or heating food in a cooking space with several floors for installation of the food to be cooked, which is equipped with several fans and electrical heating elements assigned to them.

A device of this type is known from DT-AS 1 009 465. In this device, two hot air circulators are provided, each of which is attached to an opposite side wall of the cooking space. With this device, an economical cooking or preparation of food is only possible if all floors of the cooking space are loaded with food, as the hot air is always conveyed through the entire cooking space due to the two hot air circulators with heating elements facing each other in the cooking space. is whirled. In addition, both hot air circulators must always be operated at the same speed in order to ensure that all floors are evenly exposed to hot air.

The invention is based on the object of improving a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, on the one hand, the operational possibilities enlarged and on the other hand, a rational and gentle preparation of the food or fermentation material achieved will.

The object set is achieved according to the invention by that the fans are arranged one above the other at a distance on a common side of the treatment room and the hot air flows generated by the fan heaters are guided in this way are that directed to the opposite side of the cooking space air flows formed v / ground.

By this measure it is achieved in an advantageous manner that each floor to be cooked directly with its own fan heater is supplied with hot air, whereby the cooking process is accelerated overall and on the respective food in one Floor can be coordinated accordingly.

In a further development of the invention, it is expedient to have the individual fan heaters independently of one another with different Operate speeds. This has the great advantage that each level can be loaded with a different type of food can and thus in the cooking space several items to be treated differently according to their type cooked or cooked at the same time. can be prepared.

A particularly advantageous development of the invention consists in the cooking space in the bottom area with a water bath to be provided as a steam generator. As a result, water vapor is entrained by the hot air currents generated by the individual fan heaters and fed to the food. This prevents certain foods from drying out excessively during the cooking process avoided and thus a particularly gentle preparation of the food to be cooked achieved. In a particularly advantageous way The appliance can then also be used when the oven heating is switched off

but with the water bath heating switched on.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below on the basis of this.

Show it:

1 and 2 show a device for cooking or heating food in different views.

The device for cooking or heating food has a cooking space 1, the front loading side of which is passed through a door 1 can be closed with the interposition of a conventional seal 3. The cooking space 1 can be equipped with several shelves or the like so that in this in several floors I, II, III, IV food can be introduced one above the other. Preferably on the back of the cooking space 1 are several by one each Motor 5 driven Lüiter 4- like radial fans provided, which are expediently arranged one above the other with a distance of about a maximum of 400 mm. In this way several air currents directed towards door 2 are formed when this fan heater is in operation. Concentric around the individual Fan 4- conventional tubular heating elements 6 are guided. In the bottom area of the cooking space 1 is advantageously a Liquid or water bath 7 is provided, which can be heated via an electrical heater 8 arranged below it and then serves as a steam generator for the cooking chamber 1. In addition, the bath is used in an advantageous manner to collect and protect Storing stock (fat or meat and vegetable juice). This avoids annoyance from burnt stock. On the top side, the treatment room 1 is equipped with an adjustable opening 9, through which the discharge of hot air and water
