Abstract:
The present invention relates to a food holder (10) for an apparatus for preparing food by hot air, the food holder comprising: a plurality of first horizontal separation elements (12); a plurality of second horizontal separation elements (14); wherein the first horizontal separation elements (12) and the second horizontal separation elements (14) are arranged in transverse directions (D1, D2) crossing each other; and a plurality of vertical support elements (16) supporting the first horizontal separation elements (12) and the second horizontal separation elements (14); wherein at least one of the group of the first horizontal separation elements (12), the second horizontal separation elements (14), and the vertical support elements (16) are movable in relation to the other elements, in order to form at least one compartment (22) of adjustable size for holding food. It allows adjusting the compartment to the particular size and shape of the food item(s) to be prepared.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for absorbing organic constituents in ambient air formed by a cooking appliance. The device comprises a first reservoir (10) containing a first liquid (12) comprising a lipophilic solution. The first reservoir comprises an air inlet (14) and an air outlet (16), the outlet communicating with a space (18) over the liquid. The device also comprises a system (20) for pumping the ambient air to the first reservoir through the inlet. The device also comprises a first system (24,26) to bubble the pumped ambient air in the first liquid (12), to generate an output air stream exiting the first reservoir via the outlet (16). The lipophilic solution (12) comprises a plant oil. This invention provides a low cost and safe air filtering device which is effective in removing organic matter such as cooking fumes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an air guide member (10) for an apparatus for preparing food by circulation of hot air in a food preparation chamber, the air guide member comprising, an air deflecting structure(12), a protected region (14)for collecting residual material from the food preparation chamber. The air deflecting structure(12) has a deflection surface (18) with a deflection orientation (20) that leads away from the protected region(14). The invention also relates to an apparatus implementing this air guide member. This invention prevents or reduces generation of fumes during cooking.
