FR2747025A1 - Pan for frying food - Google Patents

Abstract

The fryer has a receptacle (8), which holds the hot oil, and a perforated plate (1). This is moved between a position in the oil and a position above it. The plate has a tongue (2) joined to it and is raised by a lever (6) joined to the handle (5) of the receptacle. The tongue is articulated (3) on the lever and the lever itself is articulated (4) on the handle. The plate is raised vertically when the lever is pressed and it is blocked against the handle by a flexible hook (7) engaging in a hole (9) in the lever.

Description

 Frying food such as steaks, fish, poultry etc ... causes splashes of hot oils which can burn the cook when he has to introduce them or return them to the pan to brown them.

 The present invention overcomes this drawback. It therefore eliminates any projection of hot oil when introducing or turning food in a frying pan.

 This pan is not intended for cooking potato fries, but for meat (fish, poultry, steak, etc.).

 It is a device for frying comprising a container for boiling oil and a perforated tray on which the food is arranged and capable of moving in a vertical translational movement between a low position, where it is immersed in the oil. of the container and a high position where the plate is entirely above the level of the boiling oil, means being provided for immobilizing the plate in one or the other of these two positions.

 A lever system swiveling on a fixed point, linked to the tail of the container, makes it possible to move the perforated tray according to said vertical translation movement.

Figures 1, 2, 3 show a device according to the invention
Figure 1 in top view,
Figures 2 and 3 in section along AA, bottom tray and raised tray,
With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a perforated plate 1 forming a single piece with the tongue 2 linked to the lever 6 by the articulation 3.

 The tail 5 is fixed to the container 8.

 The lever 6 is linked to the tail 5 by the articulation 4.

 By pressing the lever 6 until blocked by the piece 7 in the form of a flexible hook, the perforated tray 1 containing the food to be fried rises above the oil level according to said vertical translation movement and remains blocked . This is when the cook must place his food on the pan or turn it over to brown it. So it does not get burned by projections of hot oils.

 To continue frying the food, the cook pushes part 7 with his thumb, the system is released and the perforated tray descends into the boiling oil. The frying continues.

MANUFACTURING
Elements 1 and 2 can be produced separately or in one piece.

 All joints 3 and 4 are removable for cleaning needs.

 Elements 6 and 5 are made of thermosetting plastic or wood.

OPERATING MODE
The food to be fried is placed on a perforated tray (unlike the conventional frying pan in which the food to be fried is placed in a bowl (with rim)).

 The cook must introduce or turn the food in the pan to make it brown, only when the perforated tray is above the oil bath.

 To raise the perforated plate above the oil bath and maintain it in this position, the lever 6 must be tilted by the cook until blocked by the hook 7.

The grip is flexible so deformable
- by its introduction into the hole 9 of the lever in order to block the plate above the oil bath
- by the cook's thumb when he has to lower the tray back into the oil bath.

 Overall the tail of this pan has been developed based on the shapes of the mouth of a fish "1 swordfish".

- Open mouth corresponds to the tray in the low position (immersed in oil)
- Closed mouth corresponds to the tray in the high position (above the oil level).

 The perforated plate describes a vertical translation therefore rises parallel to itself. This is thanks to the articulation 3 and the weight of the plate which plates it between the internal edge of the bowl 8.

Claims (5)

 1. Frying device comprising a container (8) for boiling oil and a perforated tray (1) movable between a position where it is in the oil and a position where it is above  characterized in that  - the container (8) has a tail (5)  - the perforated tray forms a single piece with a tongue (2)  - the tongue (2) is connected to a lever (6) by an articulation (3)  - the lever (6) is linked to the tail by an articulation (4) in such a way that the perforated plate (1) rises vertically above the oil level when the lever (6) is pressed ).  2. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that a part (7) or hook serves to block the lever (6) against the tail (5).  3.
