Description

DESCRIPTION

Lid covers cooking vessels with inlet valve for smoking and flavoring Technical sector

The field of application of the present invention is framed in the professional gastronomic industry sector and for private use.

Background of the invention

In many restaurants semicircular bells were used to cover the dishes that were served at the table, designed to keep food warm and protect it from the environment. We were already pioneers with the Utility Model U200802573 by converting these blind hoods that were also used for smoking dishes (forcing them to be raised slightly to introduce the smoke or aromas, losing a large part of them during the process, also generating an annoying smoke in the kitchen, being able to transmit flavors or odors to other foods ...), in hoods with an inlet valve that allow, without having to lift the hood, the injection of aromas or smoke through pipes or connections with a diameter equal to or less than valve, and that once said connection is removed, the valve closes manually or automatically, preventing the escape of aromas or smoke.

The same happens with the lids of pans, pots, paella pans, saucepans, woks, pans or other cooking utensils. Currently, if you want to smoke or flavor during the cooking process in these kitchen utensils, you must lift the lid with the consequent loss of temperature, interruption / recession of the cooking process and evaporation of the aromas condensed in the steam that the lid preserves inside. Smoking during cooking is the best time to do so as the pores of the food are fully open and expanded.

The existing lids do not have a design and functionality that allows different injections with aromas or smokes to be made to achieve their injection inside without suffering the losses previously expressed and that significantly affect the product in production.

Explanation of the invention

The present invention refers to a lid with an inlet valve (Figure 1) that covers the containers where they are cooked.

Its valve (2) allows, without having to lift the lid (1), the injection of aromas or smoke produced by a smoker, through a tube with a diameter equal to or less than that of the valve, which once said connection is removed , the valve (2) closes automatically preventing the escape of aromas or smoke.

Said valve (2) is housed in the lid (1) itself, preferably in the highest part of the capper. The valve itself (2) allows the smoke to enter hermetically in a simple and highly efficient way without having to lift the lid (1) to fill it. The valve is fitted into the lid (Figure 3) and also by means of its flexible tabs the entry of the smoking pipe is allowed and when it is removed it closes automatically.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1.- Shows a side view of the capper (1) with the valve (2) incorporated.

Figure 2.- Shows an aerial view where the valve (2) housed in the upper part of the capper (1) and near the handle or knob is located.

Figure 3.- Shows a section of the complete device formed by both pieces coupled together and housed in the wall of the capper.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

The invention is explained in greater detail below with reference to a preferred embodiment also shown in the drawing.

The capper with inlet valve for smoking and flavoring consists of two different parts: Capper or plate covers (1), inlet valve for injection with a tight-fitting membrane (2).

The food silicone valve (2) has a flexible membrane that allows pressure entry of pipes or connections of smaller diameter and is the area where the smoke or aromas are injected.

The fastening of the valve is produced by means of a fitting on its intermediate external perimeter that under pressure allows it to be fitted, completely surrounding the perimeter of the hole made in the capper, which is removable to facilitate cleaning (Figure 3). Although the invention has been described above, with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is clear that variants will rapidly arise for a person skilled in the art that fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Claims (2)

1. Lid covers cooking containers with an inlet valve for smoking and flavoring characterized by being composed of two pieces, interlocking, the first of which, the capper (1), has a hole where the second is housed, a valve of fixed or interchangeable silicone (2). 2. Lid covers cooking containers with an inlet valve for smoking and flavoring, according to claim 1, characterized in that the valve (2) has a socket on its perimeter with a diameter equal to that of the hole and a thickness equal to or slightly less than the thickness from the wall of the capper.
