Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a cooking appliance which provides the cooling of foods in the containers placed on the heating unit.
- In state of the art cooking appliances, the container left or forgotten on the heating unit while the appliance is off, starts to cool depending on the ambient temperature. When the temperature of the container is approximately between 6-60°C, the microorganisms in the food inside the containers multiply and lead to the formation of toxic substances depending on the species of the microorganisms. Research has shown that the rate of microorganisms or toxic substances in a container standing for 3 hours within the temperature range of 6-60°C reaches a dangerous level for human health. The microorganisms multiply geometrically, doubling their number in every 20 minutes. When the food is heated again, even if the amount of the microorganisms decrease, the toxic substance remains unchanged and can harm the consumer. Therefore the containers left on the heating unit by the user should be kept under 4°C wherein the metabolism of microorganisms slow down.

- In one embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (5) receives this information from the circuit supplying electric current to the plate (26) in the heating unit (4) comprising a hotplate (26).
- In another embodiment of the present invention, the gas heating unit (4) comprises an igniter (19) that enables the gas received from the burner holes (22) to be ignited with an electric arc.
