摘要:
Provided is a cooking apparatus including a first heating unit that has a first hole and generates heat using a first heat source, a second heating unit that is arranged to be stacked on the first heating unit, has a second hole formed at a position corresponding to the first hole, and generates heat using a second heat source, and a temperature detection unit that is arranged to protrude to the outside of the second hole while being arranged in the first hole of the first heating unit and the second hole of the second heating unit, and detects a temperature of a cooking vessel when the cooking vessel is brought into contact with the temperature detection unit. The output of each of the first heating unit and the second heating unit is controlled at levels of multiple stages by detecting a temperature of a lower portion of the cooking vessel, and food is cooked at an optimum temperature, thereby improving the taste of the food resulting in improved user satisfaction. The first heating unit and the second heating unit is operated together, so that it is possible to prevent emission of the heat of the second heating unit to the outside by the heat generated by the first heating unit, thereby reducing energy consumed in the second heating unit while increasing the heating rate.

In certain embodiments, a valve assembly includes a housing. The housing can define a first fuel intake, a first fuel output, and a second fuel output. The assembly can include a valve member configured to direct fuel from the first fuel intake to either the first fuel output or the second fuel output. The assembly can further include a nozzle having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the nozzle can be in communication with the first fuel output, and the second portion of the nozzle can be in communication with the second fuel output. The assembly can include a compartment in communication with the nozzle, and can include one or more air intakes.

Cooking with new technologies by providing an intelligent user interface for the selection of predefined new technology cooking profiles for a number of different foods. When a food has not been predefined for the new cooking technology, procedures used for conventional cooking technologies may converted to the desired new cooking technologies so as to obtain substantially the same cooking results for the desired food. The intelligent user interface is used in selecting from a menus of a plurality of different foods for programming a new technology cooking profile for the selected food to be cooked. Profile parameters for the new technology cooking may be empirically determined and/or extrapolated from profile parameters determined from cooking of similar foods. Predefined “hot buttons” may be used for quick selection of a cooking profile for a desired food (e.g., common foods such as popcorn, pizza rolls, chicken wings, oven fries, and other prepared and frozen foods), and/or a menu screen may be scrolled through to select a cooking profile for the desired food.

A microwave oven includes a microwave cooking chamber and a heater cooking chamber provided separately from the microwave cooking chamber. A heating unit is installed in the heater cooking chamber. Further, a pan, on which a foodstuff is put, is inserted into the heater cooking chamber and a door openably closing the heater cooking chamber.

A barbecue grill assembly is disclosed having a dual mode of operation for cooking with charcoal briquettes or with a burner element. The firebox of the grill includes a burner element near the floor thereof and an aperture in one of the sidewalls for receiving a tray member. The tray member has channels for receiving charcoal to be ignited by the gas burner and which, in its 180.degree. inverted position, acts as a shield for the burner. Positive locking is accomplished with spring-clips and by bimetallic lever arms which lock the tray in the tracks when heated.

A microwave cooking device having a main body provided therein with a heating chamber adapted for receiving foodstuffs to be cooked, a magnetron for irradiating microwave energy onto the interior of the heating chamber, and an air charging and discharging fan for forcing air to charge into and out of the heating chamber, such charging and discharging occurring through an air charging opening disposed in the heating chamber, the invention characterized in that a circulation fan for circulating air within the heating chamber is provided within the heating chamber in a fashion such that said fan is connected to a shaft common to both the air charging and air discharging fan.
摘要:
An optimized time ratio control system for a microwave oven including a food surface browning system. The system is particularly useful where the available power is insufficient to operate both the browning system and the microwave energy generating system at the same time, and where the browning system has a relatively high thermal mass. A timing means is effective to establish successive time share cycles. Each time share cycle includes both a long browner ON time interval during which the browning system is energized at its full rated power level and an alternating interval, with the time ratio therebetween under user control. During the alternating intervals, the browning system and the microwave energy generating system are alternately energized, with the time ratio therebetween under the same user control. The overall relative apportionment to microwave cooking power is primarily determined during the alternating intervals with what is essentially duty cycle power level control employing power pulses of relatively short duration. The overall relative apportionment to browner power is primarily determined by the time intervals between the long browner ON time intervals, which between intervals are actually the alternating intervals. During those times during the alternating intervals when the browning system is energized, the browning system is at least kept warm. To compensate for a reduction in this "keep warm" power as the relative apportionment to browner power is decreased during the alternating interval, such as by user control, the long browner ON time intervals are lengthened as the percentage of microwave power increases and the percentage of browning power decreases.
摘要:
Directed jets of temperature controlled gaseous fluids are applied to irregularly shaped products, such as food portions, to subject discrete areas of the surface to a very high heat transfer rate and to cause these areas to be passed over surfaces of the product at a proper rate to obtain over-all surface effects such as crisping, browning, searing or freezing. The cooking apparatus comprises a generator adapted to supply microwave energy for heating the interior of a food product in combination with apparatus to direct spaced discrete high velocity jets of heated air to impinge against exterior surfaces of the food product. A conveyor is employed to provide relative motion between each of the sources of heat and the product for averaging cooking through the product by reducing effect of RF standing waves and simultaneously sweeping the jets of air over the product at proper rate to heat all exposed surfaces.
