    摘要: A food cooking appliance which utilizes both steam and heat for rapidly cooking food products is disclosed. The food products are disposed within a food cooking housing and a steam generator is provided within a steam generator housing so as to generate steam which is fluidically conducted into the food cooking housing. In this manner, the food products are cooked as a result of the steam being conducted into upper regions of cooking chambers defined within the food cooking housing while the heat generated from the heated grills or platens impart heat to the lower regions of the cooking chambers thereby cooking the food in an accelerated manner which is extremely desirable by commercial fast-food establishments. The steam generator housing is wholly separate and apart from the food cooking housing but fluidically connected to the food cooking housing by a fluid conduit which may rigid or flexible. In this manner, the food cooking housing and the steam generator housing may be located at different locations within a kitchen facility in order that the kitchen facility be capable of accommodating both the food cooking housing and the steam generator housing. The steam generator housing may also be provided with multiple fluid conduits such that a single steam generator can supply steam to a plurality of different appliances.

    摘要: A set of nestable and stackable cookware, for example, a set of pots and pans, is maintained in a stable configuration by stops attached to the outer walls of the cookware. Each stacked and nested item of cookware is supported on the rim of the lower item by two stops attached to its outer wall, on opposite sides of the item. Each stop is shaped and configured to contact the rim of the lower item in the stack at a finite number of points. A first stop contacts the lower rim at two points, and a second stop contacts the rim at one or two points. The points of contact lie in the same plane, which uprightly supports the stacked cookware item on the lower cookware item, without the walls or the base of the stacked cookware item touching the lower item.

    摘要: A mobile cooking-and-ingredient-supply system includes a vehicle, a data-storage device, a cooking module, an ingredient-supply rack, first-ingredient-supply modules, an ingredient-replenishing station and a computing device. The data-storage device stores a food-preparation plan associated with a food preparation location, a preparation time, and an ingredient for preparing a food product. The cooking module is configured to prepare the food product based on the food-preparation plan. The first-ingredient-supply modules are carried by the ingredient-supply rack. The ingredient-replenishing station carries second-ingredient-supply modules to meet with the vehicle and replenish one of the first-ingredient-supply modules. The computing device is configured with computer-executable instructions based on the food-preparation plan, automatically causes the ingredient-replenishing station to prepare one of the second ingredient-supply modules based on the food-preparation plan, and automatically selects meeting time and meeting location based on the food-preparation plan, for the vehicle to meet with the ingredient-replenishing station.

    摘要: Technologies are described for devices and methods to utilize an ingredient cartridge assembly. The devices may comprise a cooking pot, a heat source, a loading track, a propulsion system, a loading compartment, and a controller. The loading compartment may be located along the loading track. The controller may be in communication with the heat source and the propulsion system. The propulsion system may be configured to receive an ingredient cartridge assembly including a cartridge. A protective film on the cartridge may be contacted with the propulsion system. The propulsion system may pull the protective film to peel the protective film from the cartridge and slide the cartridge along the loading track towards the loading compartment. An ingredient inside of the cartridge may deposit into the loading compartment as the cartridge passes over the loading compartment. The loading compartment may be configured to deposit the ingredient into the cooking pot.
