摘要:
A network topology for communication within and between food service equipment items generally comprises one or more food service equipment items, each having a controller and at least one functional subsystem configured as a slave to the controller, and a master interface and a bus slave interface associated with each controller. Each master interface is adapted for electrical communication over an intra-equipment communication channel with a slave interface associated with the functional subsystem. Each bus slave interface is adapted for communication, external to the food service equipment item, over an inter-equipment communication channel. Each bus slave interface is substantially electrically identical to each slave interface.
摘要:
A system and process for monitoring at least one but preferably a plurality of service outlets of the type commonly existing in the food service industry, comprising utilization of a portable processor assembly at a local site, which incorporates both manual and automatic input facilities, at least one of which is defined by a temperature acquisition module interfaced for direct communication with the processor assembly. A monitoring program is operable by the processor and comprises a task application defining a plurality of user interactive test items requiring the entry of user responses upon their performance of the test items. The test items are determinative of currently existing conditions of a plurality of operational categories which are established based on the required functions of the one or more sites being monitored. Result records are formulated based on the data derived from user response entries and are processed preferably at a central control facility for purposes of establishing evidence, preferably in the form of appropriate documentation, of a pattern of compliance with a predetermined plurality of standards which define acceptable performance parameters of the operational categories.
摘要:
A cooking device for cooking food comprising a cavity, a heating element disposed in the cavity, a temperature sensor for determining the temperature in the cooking device and a fan operable in at least three modes, an OFF mode, a HI mode and a LO mode to move air in the cooking device. A fan control device is provided to operate the fan in LO mode by pulsing the fan on for a first predetermined mount of time every second predetermined amount of time to ensure continuous movement of the fan.

The tabletop device for the preparation of meals comprises a burner, which may preferably be placed on a plate of wood, stone or the like in a nonslipping manner, and a grilling material carrier removably disposed above the burner. The burner is surrounded, at a lateral distance from it, by a chimney-like hood at least partly spaced from the plate and rising above the burner, whose side walls in combination with the walls of the burner delimit air flow channels communicating with ambient air at the bottom end. As a result of these measures an air flow acting upwards from below will be generated when the burner flame is ignited, spreading the flame across the entire burner surface and enriching it with oxygen to a great extent.
摘要:
An enclosed cooking apparatus for barbecuing, curing and smoking food products such as beef, chicken, pork, fish and wild game in which a combustion chamber is disposed in the base for burning a fuel source, such as charcoal and wood. Food products are supported within the cooking chamber by a plurality of slidable shelves and arranged in such a manner that heat and smoke circulating through the enclosed apparatus performs the cooking and smoking operation on the food products. The apparatus can be constructed to perform specific cooking tasks.
摘要:
A rolled pouch cooking package (10) and cooking method are disclosed. The cooking package (11) includes a flexible pouch which completely encloses a food item to be heated. The pouch (10) and food item (12) are capable of being bent between a flat configuration and a rolled or coiled configuration. The cooking package (11) also includes an elastic band (18) or other retaining means which holds the pouch (11) and food item (12) in the rolled configuration. The pouch (10) is preferably made of a plastic material and has at least one slit (17) at its upper end. A method for heating a food item is also described, comprising the steps of: placing the food item (12) against a horizontal surface while the food is completely enclosed in a flexible pouch (10); coiling the food item (12) and pouch (10) so as to place them in a crown shape or rolled configuration attaching retaining means (18) to the pouch (10); and heating the food item in an oven.
摘要:
A processing chamber for processing products and having different processing conditions in different chamber zones, a single continuous conveyor extending through the chamber from one end to the other, unit supports supportable on the conveyor for moving units from one end to the other, a first unit movement system to move units through the chamber at a predetermined first speed, a second unit movement system for moving units through the chamber at a predetermined second speed, engagement devices interengageable between the unit supports and the first movement system, or the second movement system, selectively, and a control to control the first and second movement system for selective timed operation.
摘要:
An apparatus for automatically making food products in piece form from dough-like substances which apparatus has a housing containing holding elements to hold either end of a flexible sealable bag containing the ingredients for the dough-like substance, and a dough preparation station having two slit openings. A kneading mechanism is provided for working ingredients of the bag and includes the holding elements and slit openings at each end of the bag. The bag is attached to the holding elements and passes through the slit openings. There is a drive mechanism for creating relative oscillating movement between the bag and the slit openings so that the ingredients are kneaded into a dough-like substance. The housing also contains a heat treating station whereby the kneaded dough-like substance is baked. The operation of the aforementioned elements are predetermined by a program and therefore the apparatus will make the food product and the product will be in the fresh prepared state at the desired time.
摘要:
An electronically controlled cooking apparatus including a heating source for heating an article to be heated, an infrared sensor for detecting temperature of the article and a control member for controlling drive of the heating source. The control member further includes a first memory for storing a predetermined heating temperature of the article and a second memory for storing a predetermined minimum heating time period for heating the article.
摘要:
An improved food preparation process is disclosed. In order to practice the process, a container is provided which has a centrally-depressed receptacle with an outwardly and downwardly extending rim. A food filling is first deposited in the container receptacle. The container receptacle and rim are then covered with a sheet of unbaked dough so that the dough conforms to the container rim. The now-filled and covered container which comprises the food product is then frozen. The frozen product filled container is inverted in a conventional oven and heat is applied. A seal is formed between the dough sheet and the container at the juncture of the container walls and rim. The filling heats to a fluid state. When the container is removed, the filling flows outwardly to fill the upstanding crust formed by the baked dough.
