Definitions

  • This invention relates to cooking devices which can be adapted to incorporate a number of different cooking attachments, more particularly to cooking devices which can be adapted to incorporate a griddle which is particularly well-suited for preparing thin food items and which with suitable adaption can be used as an oven, range, toaster, wok, griddle and fryer.
  • Griddles are used to prepare a variety of foods as they may be adapted for deep or shallow fat frying or dry griddling, as desired.
  • a flat heated plate provides the cooking surface and side restraining walls are employed to retain the requisite levels of cooking fluids on the surface.

Abstract

L'appareil pour la cuisson des aliments décrit, qui est conçu pour différents modes de cuisson, comprend des organes de cuisson (7) montés sur une base de support (1) et des organes de commande séparés (9, 10) pour les organes chauffants, ainsi qu'un accessoire de cuisson disposé horizontalement (19) en forme de plaque à galettes arrondie et relativement épaisse, qui est constituée à partir d'un matériau conservant la chaleur et qui est destinée à former une surface de cuisson chauffée uniformément, qui peut être montée amovible sur la base au-dessus des organes chauffants (7). Des organes régulateurs de niveau de fluide (21, 99) sont utilisés pour établir un niveau de fluide maximum sur la surface de la plaque à galettes arrondie et le rebord anti-éclaboussures fixe (20, 46) s'étend vers le haut, circonférentiellement au-dessus du niveau de fluide maximum. Un organe (14) est prévu pour recueillir l'excédent de fluide dévié par les organes régulateurs de niveau de fluide. La plaque à galettes arrondie peut faire partie d'un appareil de cuisson interchangeable à choix, dans lequel sont incorporés un four (22) ou un autre accessoire de cuisson commandable séparément. Dans son mode de réalisation préféré, le rebord anti-éclaboussures (20, 46) de la plaque à galettes arrondie présente une encoche à la hauteur du niveau de fluide maximum, afin de former une ouverture (21) qui sert d'organe régulateur de niveau de fluide.
