Definitions
- the present invention relates to an oven for heating foodstuff, in particular french fries, by means of hot air circulating in a substantially closed circle, wherein circulation of the air is forced, preferably by a fan or a blower. It in particular relates to an oven which is suited for heating individual portions or a small number of portions within a very short amount of time.
- the key feature of the invention is therefore the fact that hot air is entering the region in which the foodstuff is to be heated from an upper side, impinges onto the tilted side wall of the container, the tilt angle of which is smaller than 90°, and is thus deviated into the receptacle through the penetrable tilted side wall of the receptacle correspondingly being guided through the foodstuff kept in the receptacle. Due to the fact that the tilt angles ⁇ and ⁇ are different from each other, and due to the fact that is larger than ⁇ , there is provided a region between the receptacle and the container which opens up towards the bottom of the container and/or the receptacle.
- the receptacle furthermore comprises a horizontal grid portion adjacent to the tilted front grid substantially in the plane of the opening towards the upper side of the receptacle. This horizontal grid portion is then first penetrated prior to entering the region between the two tilted walls.
- the bottom wall of the container is preferentially spaced from the bottom grid of the receptacle by e.g. 1 centimetre.
- This nose or protrusion is preferentially made of the same material as the side walls of the receptacle, i.e. may be an extension made of metal grid or the like.
- a slidable insert into which the receptacle is inserted, and which can be shifted into the oven and thus into the stream of hot air of the oven.
- the slidable insert into which the container is removably incorporated is drawn out of the oven, the receptacle filled with foodstuff is inserted into the container from the top and thus into this part of the insert, and the whole insert is subsequently shifted back into the main body of the oven, thus moving it into the circulating hot air.
- the container can be taken out of the insert and cleaned separately.
- filtering means for the air.
- These filtering means may be perforated or mesh- like structures made of metal or synthetic material, preferably additionally retaining condensed water present in the circulating hot air.
- the filtering means can be a semi- permeable membrane permeable to air and steam but impermeable to condensed water. Possible is for example a GoreTex ® membrane.
- the present invention furthermore relates to a method for heating foodstuff by means of hot air in a substantially closed circle, preferably using an oven as described above.
- the method is preferentially characterised in that the circulating hot air is heated to a temperature in the range of 180-250° C, preferentially heating a portion of french fries within a time-span in the range of one minute.
- the foodstuff is not substantially moving within the receptacle, thus avoiding (partial) destruction of the foodstuff.
- Particularly easy operation is made possible if the heating process is initiated after having read a barcode e.g. provided on the package of the foodstuff to be heated, preferentially indicating particular heating conditions adapted to the foodstuff contained in the package.
- the oven 1 comprises an upper part, in which the heating cavity 8 as well as the means for the propulsion of the stream of air is located. Propulsion of the air is achieved by a fan 20, which is located in a housing 7.
- the fan 20 is energised by a motor 6.
- Such a motor normally has a power in the range of 195 Watt leading to an effective circulation of air of about 200m 3 /h at a static pressure of 500 Pa. In conjunction with the regulated air temperature at the exit of the blower of in the range of 195 to 205 °C this leads to heating of the food within about 2 minutes. If the machine is to be designed in other dimensions for example for taking up more portions, the power as well as the circulation have to be scaled up accordingly.
- the axis of the motor is arranged parallel to the front side of the oven.
- the basket 2 furthermore comprises a nose 26, which makes sure that the basket 2, if inserted into the container 4 does not touch the bottom of the container, i.e. that there remains an empty space 13 between the two bottom walls 2b and 4b.
- This empty space 13 furthermore improves homogeneous and efficient circulation of the air around the basket and homogeneous entry into the basket and through the foodstuff located in the basket.
- Arrows indicate the dimensions chosen for individual parts of the oven 1, so the length a of the heating cavity 8 is 205 mm, the height b of the heating cavity is 145 mm, the width d of the channel " for entry of air into the heating cavity 8 is 130 millimetre, the height e of the housing for the fan is 265 mm, the width f of this housing is 106 nim, and the width g of the room for the motor is 130mm.
- FIG 2a shows the basket 2. It can be seen, that there is provided a handle 14, made of a bent thick metal wire, and which, if the basket 2 is. inserted into the container 4 and into the insert 16 in the oven 1 sticks out of the oven. It allows easy handling of the basket for filling it with foodstuff and inserting and removing the basket into and from the oven. It may be slightly bent downwards to facilitate handling, and extends approximately 15 to 20 cm away from the edge of the basket 2.
- the basket has a depth of 90 mm, and if for the angle ⁇ a value of 35° is chosen, the bottom part of the basket has a length of 60 mm.
- the basket furthermore has a height of 140mm and a length at its top edge of 160 mm.
- the horizontal grid portion 3 has a length of approximately 35mm.
- Figure 2b shows the container 4 if removed from the insert 16.
- Figure 2c shows the insert 16, which comprises a front wall of or front plate 18 as well as two lateral track rails 17 as means for easy shifting of the insert into and out of the oven 1. It furthermore comprises an opening 19 on the top, adapted to take up the container 4 such that its border 4e comes to lie on top of the edge portion of the insert 16 thus supporting the container 4 in the insert 16.
- the lateral side walls 4c of the container are spaced from each other by 92mm (depth), the height of the container is 155mm and its length on the bottom side is 230 mm.
- the opening on the top has a size of 298 x 92 mm.
- the angle ⁇ is chosen to be 66°.
- the border 4e has a width of approximately 10-15 mm.
- Figure 2 d shows a view of the lower housing of the oven and as well as of the top parts of it.
- a basically rectangular box into which the insert 16 fits and can be shifted into and out of by means of movable rails 15.
- the heating cavity on the left side is provided with an opening 9 for entry of the air having passed the foodstuff region into the heating cavity 8.
- the housing 7 for the fan 20 is provided on the right side of the top portion of the oven 1 adapted to take in the air from the heating cavity 8 and to blow it into the lower part via an exit 11.
- FIG 3 shows the principal air flows in an oven according to another preferred embodiment.
- the hot air gets heated by means of heating elements 21 along which or through which the hot air is flowing.
- the surface of these heating elements may have temperatures of about 500° C, while the heating elements 21 are regulated to give rise to a temperature of the air in the range of 200°C. This choice was found to lead to an optimal heating of the foodstuff, but also for user safety reasons higher temperatures should be avoided.
- the filters 25 and 24 can be metal wire meshes, wherein the metal wires (INOX) have a thickness of 0.5 mm and are spaced from each other by 1.5 mm.
- INOX metal wires
- filters can be substituted or supplemented by filters additionally eliminating condensed water from the circulating hot air. This is for example possible by filters with semi-permeable membranes made of polytefrafluoroethylene, like e.g. available under the trade name GoreTex ® . LIST OF REFERENCE NUMERALS
