Benefits of technology

The invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technology and provide improvements and benefits. The technical effects of the invention include providing better performance, efficiency, reliability, or other advantages.

Problems solved by technology

In known solutions, the flow of air is directed towards the food contained in the container substantially at a single, very localized point, or in a very restricted zone, not allowing a homogeneous distribution of the heat inside the cooking compartment.
This leads to a very dis-homogeneous cooking of the food, with excessively cooked parts near the outlet of the flow of air, and uncooked parts away from it, as well as a disproportionate energy consumption compared to the needs.
Therefore, the distribution of the flow of heated air is localized and not distributed uniformly inside the container.
Therefore, the autonomous apparatus does not guarantee a uniform distribution of the flow of hot air for the entire circumference of the food container, and the sending of the air is extremely localized and directed.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]Embodiments described here in FIGS. 1-5 refer to an autonomous apparatus 10 for cooking foods, able to perform various cooking modes, such as stewing, brazing, boiling, roasting, frying, simple heating, sautéing, browning, slow cooking, or quick cooking in general.

[0032]The autonomous apparatus 10 comprises a support body 12, with which is associated an openable lid 14, an extractable / insertable internal container 16, open at the top and defining a cooking compartment 26 for food, at least one heating device 18 and at least one air flow generator element 20.

[0033]The support body 12 has an external wall 12a and an internal wall 12b, adjacent during use to the container 16. Between the external wall 12a and the internal wall 12b there is an interspace 15 which can function as a technical compartment.

[0034]The support body 12 has an upper edge 13 which cooperates at least partly with a lower edge of the lid 14 when the latter is closed to cover the container 16.

[0035]The presenc...

Abstract

An autonomous apparatus for cooking food includes a support body, an openable lid, an internal container which can be extracted / inserted with respect to said support body and open at the top, at least a heating device and at least an element for generating a flow of air toward the inside of the container.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention concerns an autonomous apparatus for cooking food, comprising a support body, a lid and a container for the food that can be removed / inserted with respect to the support body.[0002]The autonomous apparatus also comprises at least one heating device and at least one element able to generate a flow of air to the food.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In the domestic environment, autonomous apparatuses for cooking food are known, comprising a support body and an internal container, selectively extractable, open at the top and defining a cooking compartment.[0004]The apparatus is also provided with a lid, possibly part of or associable with the support body, which can be closed on the internal container to create the cooking compartment having a controlled atmosphere suitable for the cooking to be carried out.[0005]Furthermore, at least one heat energy producing device is normally present, disposed at the bottom and / or top of the internal...
