Abstract

Cooking apparatus corresponding to a specific practice of the countries of the Maghreb, characterised in that it comprises a hemispherical metal cooking plate.

Description

COOKING APPLIANCE
The present invention is intended to meet the following object
In the Maghreb country, a device generally used up to now in refractory earth is used, which, thanks to its combination with a traditional hearth, makes it possible to heat an active part in the form of a hemisphere.

 On this hemispherical sole is cooked a traditional dish which is a kind of pancake.

 The device in question is therefore difficult to transport and in any case practically impossible to use in cities.

 The device presented here, made of metal, overcomes these drawbacks, and it is more likely thanks to its versatile design oe meet multiple uses, combined together.

 As an exemplary embodiment, a drawing is proposed or Figure 1 represents an apparatus seen in vertical section, Figure 2 representing the same apparatus seen from cutter, Figure 3 represents alternative embodiments.

 This device is intended to be mounted on a hearth, in particular on a gas stove 10 (shown in phantom).

It can also operate by electric heating.

The set consists of - A part 1 preferably made of aluminum, this part has at its lower part a rolled edge (1 ') serving as a chute for collecting excess fat.

 This chute is advantageously provided with a 1 "pouring spout making it possible to gather the rails in a suitable container.

- A piece 3, preferably in sheet Adx, which is intended to serve as a frying pan for grilling sardines, for example.

- A piece 4 of perforated wire mesh or sheet which separates the grilled meat from the oil which escapes and comes to collect at the bottom.

- Of a part 2 whose role will be explained later (urement.

 The set of parts 1 d 4 can be placed on a tripod 5, made in such a way that this set which has three feet arranged at 1200, is made stable and integral, while allowing the various parts mentioned above to be easily removable and swappable, in the sense that the pieces in question can be stacked in any order.

 Thus the part 2, in the position where it is shown, can, thanks to its numerous lateral perforations, serve to evacuate the gases.

 Alternatively, it can also be used as Figure 2, as a support for electric heating. For this purpose, a resistancc 11, preferably a shielded type, is installed in part 2. This resistance is advantageously controlled by an adjustable thermostat.

Placed as in the case of the figure, that is to say above the frying pan 3, the grill effect is felt from above.

 It can also be placed directly on the tripod 5. the pan 3 is then placed directly above, it follows that it is the lower part of the meat which is rattan.

A piece 6 in the form of disc preferably
Adx, responds to the following objects: a) Avoid iron and local overheating by diffusing calories.

b) Avoid attack by flames dt, bottom Gcs devices.

 c) Avoid, in the case where the hemispherical piece I is placed directly on the tripod, that a gaseous mixture does not accumulate) 'inside the semi-spherical, causing an explosion during ignition.

 The solution of part ó, fixed instead of being removable, therefore appears to be a preferred solution, for reasons of safety.

 Parts 1, 2 and 3 will be provided, with advantage, equipped with at least one handling handle 7, these preferably being of the "insulated" type.

 The foot support 5 can be made up of more than three feet. The tripod shape is however accepted as preferred.

The clearance between the feet and the parts that come inside must be minimum to ensure good stacking.

The ease of fitting the pieces is ensured by the existence of a frustoconical part at the top or by the twisting of the feet outwards (Figure 2)
it will be advantageous to make the part 1 preferably made of aluminum for better thermal conduction. On the other hand, the other parts will preferably be made of steel, for fear of excessive deformation caused by heating.

 In the case of direct use of sole 1 it will be placed directly on the tripod support, for gas heating.

 In the case of electric heating, part 2 will come between the support and the floor.

 If stove 3 is used, sole 1 can be used as a cover.

In an alternative embodiment, a cooking appliance is presented in which the parts 2 and 3 are provided at their upper part with an interlocking groove allowing it to be stacked in all the positions, as previously
In this case the support 5 becomes optional use (Figure 3).

A complementary variant consists in providing removable feet. For this a threaded sleeve 12, integral with the base 13 can receive threaded parts 14 and 15
It is possible thanks to this arrangement to place the device directly on a hearth of the furnace (except the presence of parts 15).

Claims (7)

R E V E N D I C A T I O N S  10) Cooking appliance, responding to a specific use of the Maghrebian processing populations, characterized in that it comprises a cooking hearth having a hemispherical shape 1, terminated at its lower part by a chute 1 ′ equipped with a pouring spout 1 ", this sole being removably arranged on an appropriate heating means.  20) Apparatus according to claim 1. characterized in that it comprises a support 5, in which the sole 1 comes to rest, possibly with other accessories, the assembly thus formed being centered and maintained, thanks to the presence of at least three feet, angularly equidistant.  30) Apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that a frying pan 3 can be placed in the support, this part 3 being preferably associated with a part 4, made from a metal grid or a sheet perforated.  40) Apparatus according to claim 2, or 3, characterized in that a part 2 can be stacked in any position in the support 5 to possibly serve for the evacuation of burnt gases, thanks to its lateral perforations.  5) Apparatus according to claim 4, characterized in that the part 2 is equipped with an electrical resistance 9 preferably of the "shielded" type, advantageously controlled by adjustable thermostat.  6) Apparatus according to one or more of claims 1 to 5 above, characterized in that the parts 1, possibly 2 and / or 3 are each equipped with at least one handle 7, preferably of the insulated type.  70) Apparatus according to claim 2, characterized in that the feet 5 are terminated at the top by a frustoconical part (Figure 1) or by a flare curved outward (Figure 2).  8) Apparatus according to claim 3 and / or one or more of claims 4 to 7 above, characterized in that the part 1 is made pI preferentially aluminum, the other parts being preferably made of steel.  90) Apparatus according to claim 2, characterized in cc that a sheet metal plate 6, preferably fixed, is placed at the base of the active part of the support to be interposed between the flame and the cooking elements.  100) Apparatus according to claim 2 and / or one or more of claims 3 to 9 above, characterized in that the parts 2 and 3 are provided at their upper part with an interlocking groove 11 the feet of the support 5 consisting a threaded sleeve 12 made integral with the base 14, threaded rods 15 and 16 that can be screwed into the sleeve 12 (Figure 3)
