Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a combined oven for cooking, warming and defrosting frozen or fresh food products, in particular for warming sandwiches.
  • Such plates thus provide for warming and "browning" the outer surfaces of sandwiches by direct contact.
  • a suitable inner heating of the sandwiches can cause excessive heating of the outer surfaces of the sandwiches themselves to the point of burning them.
  • microwave ovens are largely used to warm sandwiches in both working/commercial environments, such as canteens or snack bars or others, as well as at the home.
  • Microwave ovens are a particular type of oven in which the warming and cooking of the food products is mainly carried out by the warming effect of microwaves generated by the oven itself.
  • the operating mechanism of such ovens is fairly simple and it is related to a device, called magnetron, that generates a microwave radiation in the form of a variable electromagnetic field in a food cooking and housing chamber.
  • the oscillation of the electromagnetic field with a frequency of about 2.45 GHz, is able to produce oscillations in the molecules of the food products having polarization, mainly water.
  • Such a molecular shaking, induced in the aforementioned water molecules, provides for increasing the temperature of the food products hit by the aforementioned wave oscillations.
  • the cooking chamber is substantially a Faraday cage, that prevents microwaves from coming out, in which the oven door is generally made from glass so as to allow the dish inside it to be seen, but at the same time it includes a layer of thin metallic mesh as an electromagnetic shield.
  • the radiation cannot cross the mesh, whereas light, having a wavelength which is much shorter than the mesh, can.
  • the closing mechanism of the door includes suitable switches that turn off the magnetron in the case in which it opens, thus preventing microwaves from coming out.
  • the magnetron must be supplied with energy with a direct current voltage of several thousands of volts, which is produced from the voltage of the electrical mains by means of a transformer followed by a rectifier and by a condenser.
  • Suitable devices turn the system on and off by command of the microprocessor that manages the operation time based upon parameters set with the controls present on the front panel.
  • the magnetron is always operated at full power to keep the efficiency at its maximum.
  • the modulation of the power is carried out by adjusting the ratio between the turning on period and the turning off period according to a technique called pulse-width modulation.
  • the magnetron turns on for a few seconds, to then turn off for an identical amount of time and so on until the end of the set cooking time.
  • the main advantage of microwave ovens with respect to conventional plate cooking systems lies in the very fast cooking and defrosting of the food products.
  • microwave ovens have some drawbacks like, for example, the fact that the warming of sandwiches is not homogeneous, but rather concentrated in particular areas, usually exclusively on the inside, which absorbs more of the energy of the microwaves with respect to the outer faces.
  • microwave ovens lie in the fact that the temperature of the food products being cooked is relatively low and in any case not suitable at all for giving the outer surface of sandwiches their desired "browning".
  • microwave ovens which combine microwaves, suitable for rapidly warming the inside of the sandwich, with an infrared beam system, which is able to brown the outer surface to give it a better flavour and fragrance.
  • US 5204503 and US 5155318 patents describe microwave ovens in which the plane supporting the food products is of the heated-plate type suitable for heating the lower surface of the sandwich through direct contact.
  • US 6018157 describes a combined oven of the microwave type equipped with a supporting plane of the heated type.
  • US 6018157 also foresees the presence of a further mobile element of the heated type accommodated in the cooking chamber above the supporting plane.
  • the purpose of the present invention is that of making a device which is able to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art in an extremely simple, cost-effective and particularly functional manner.
  • Another purpose of the invention is that of making a combined oven for cooking, warming and defrosting frozen or fresh food products, in particular for warming sandwiches, in which the warming of the food products is homogeneous and is not concentrated only in particular areas.
  • a further purpose is that of obtaining a combined oven for cooking, warming and defrosting frozen or fresh food products, in particular for warming sandwiches, in which both the internal warming and the outer browning of the sandwich occur rapidly and without any manual intervention.
  • Yet another purpose is that of having a combined oven for cooking, warming and defrosting frozen or fresh food products, in particular for warming sandwiches, in which it is possible to simultaneously brown the outer lower surface as well as the upper surface of a sandwich without ever having to interrupt the cooking of the inside of the sandwich itself.
  • a further purpose is that of having a combined oven for cooking, warming and defrosting frozen or fresh food products, in particular for warming sandwiches, in which the outer browning through plates and the cooking of the inside of the sandwich through microwaves can be activated totally independently from one another and with different activation times according to needs.
  • a combined oven for cooking, warming and defrosting frozen or fresh food products, in particular for warming sandwiches, according to the present invention is shown with reference numeral 10.
  • Such a combined oven 10 is of the microwave type comprising at least one magnetron for generating microwaves in a chamber 11 for cooking, warming and defrosting, said chamber 11 being selectively able to be accessed from outside through a moveable closure door 20 provided with a handle 21.
  • the combined oven 10 is able to operate like known microwave ovens, in which the magnetron, through a suitable electronic control circuit and a wave guide, generates a flow of microwaves such as to excite the molecules of water that make up the food products to be heated into movement.
  • the microwaves substantially act in the inner area of the sandwich, which contains a greater amount of water, introduced into the oven 10.
  • Such water molecules indeed, absorb the energy of the microwaves in a dielectric heating process and start to vibrate generating heat.
  • the cooking chamber 11 of the combined oven 10 is also provided with a, preferably fixed, plane 12 for supporting the food products to be heated.
  • such a plane 12 is of the heated-plate type, for example a grill provided with resistances, suitable for rapidly cooking, warming and defrosting the products supported in the chamber 11 by heat conduction from below.
  • such a plane 12 can operate both simultaneously, as well as in a completely independent manner from the microwaves, providing for quickly obtaining a perfect browning on the lower surface of the sandwich, with which it is in direct contact.
  • Such a further heated-plate element 13, for example a grill provided with resistances, can be activated both simultaneously and in a completely independent manner from the microwaves to cook, warm and defrost the food products supported in the chamber 11 from above.
  • the further heated-plate element 13 can remain spaced away from the product resting on the plane 12, and in such a case the thermal heating offered shall be of the natural convective or radiation type, or the further heated-plate element 13 can come into contact with the upper surface of the food products, in particular of a sandwich, offering a conductive type thermal heating.
  • sensors are foreseen for detecting the contact of the further heated-plate element 13 with an upper portion of the sandwich resting in the chamber 11, in which such sensors are connected to the movement means to block the descent of the further heated-plate element 13 once a particular pressure exerted by contact with the sandwich itself has been exceeded.
  • both the production of the microwaves and the activation of heating of the supporting plane 12 and of the further heated-plate element 13 can independently be actuated, for example by acting manually upon the controls 30 on the outside of the oven 10.
  • the oven 10 can carry out steps, according to the needs, in which it is provided for it to exclusively brown the outer surfaces of the sandwich thanks to the supporting plane 12 and to the further plate element 13, steps in which it is provided for it to exclusively warm/defrost the sandwich thanks to the microwaves and/or a step in which both the supporting plane 12 and the further plate element 13 are activated in sequence, followed by the magnetron.
  • An example of an automatic process that such an oven 10 makes it possible to carry out can foresee a succession of steps in which initially for a few tens of seconds it is provided for it to only warm/defrost the sandwich exclusively through microwaves, a subsequent step, of the order of a minute, of only toasting the surfaces of the sandwich when the magnetron is turned off, and a last step, of a few tens of seconds, of simultaneous action of both the supporting plane 12 and of the magnetron to finish off the outer lower browning while simultaneously warming the inside and the possible filling of the sandwich.
  • the supporting plane 12 and the further plate element 13 can be independently actuated to selectively brown only one and/or both the two outer surfaces of the sandwich.
  • the controls 30, connected to a control unit make it possible to independently set the power of the microwaves, in watts, the temperature of the plates, in degrees, and the overall cooking time, in seconds, subdivided into independent actuation steps of the supporting plane 12, of the further plate element 13 and of the magnetron.
  • the microwaves provide for warming the inside of the sandwich in a very rapid manner, while the heated-plate plane 12 and the heated-plate element 13 subsequently proceed to brown the lower and upper outer surfaces of the sandwich.
  • the supporting plane and the plate element can be independently actuated with respect to the magnetron, it is possible to independently set the browning of the outer surfaces with respect to the cooking of the inside of the sandwich, according to needs.
  • every plate and/or microwave heating step shall be activated independently for the desired time according to needs.
  • the combined oven according to the present invention can also comprise a humidity extractor device, like a centrifugal fan 50 schematically shown in figure 2 at the back wall of the oven 10, capable of extracting from the cooking chamber the humidity generated while microwave cooking the sandwich.
  • a humidity extractor device like a centrifugal fan 50 schematically shown in figure 2 at the back wall of the oven 10, capable of extracting from the cooking chamber the humidity generated while microwave cooking the sandwich.
  • the combined oven for cooking, warming and defrosting frozen or fresh food products, in particular for warming sandwiches achieves a homogeneous inner warming as well as an outer browning of both the upper and lower surfaces of the sandwich to be heated, in a rapid manner and without needing any manual intervention.
  • the combined oven for cooking, warming and defrosting frozen or fresh food products, in particular for warming sandwiches, according to the present invention can undergo numerous modifications and variants, all covered by the same inventive concept; moreover, all the details can be replaced by technically equivalent elements.
  • the materials used, as well as their sizes, can be of any type according to the technical requirements.
