Abstract:
A rice cooker comprising several inner containers, wherein a set of cooking parameters for each inner container is independently selectable, thus, permitting the automatic and simultaneous preparation of different style, recipe or taste of rice in each of the plurality of the inner containers.
Abstract:
The invention provides a novel cooking device that saves more than 70% fuel as compared to conventional cooking systems and comprises, (i) a basal receptacle, (ii) a series of cooking utensils, and (iii) inner cover and outer cover, both engaged firmly to the basal receptacle.
Abstract:
A stacking arrangement for simultaneously microwaving plural food filled plates together. Hollow rings with outwardly sloping sides each having side oval through-holes and upper edge grooves are placed on food filled plates so that the plates can be stacked on top of each hollow ring. A cover with outwardly sloping sides has a handle with a lid and through-hole adjacent to the handle covers the top food filled plate in the stack. The stack can be placed in a microwave, heating oven, refrigerator or freezer. The through-holes in the rings and the cover act as vents to allow heat to be evenly dispersed about the food and to allow the food to be more evenly cooked when being microwaved. The cover and rings can be made of microwaveable plastic such as polypropylene. When not being used the rings can together be inserted into the cover for storage.
Abstract:
A convenient serving-size pan (10) with flange (13), and flanged lid (11) removably attached by a hinge (14), enabling a wide range of pourable, particulate, and solid foods to be cooked in quantity in forced-air convection ovens. The pan and lid are fabricated of highly heat conductive materials with interior surfaces suitable for direct food contact. Exterior surfaces of the pans are smooth and plain to minimize insulative film coefficients and maximize heat transfer. A vertical stacking system provides effective use of oven space while maintaining sufficient space between pans for effective heat transfer.
Abstract:
There is described a set of cooking utensils consisting of at least first and second cooking utensils having different heights and identical opening widths, each cooking utensil having a bottom, a wall and an upper edge. For storing purposes, the second, higher cooking utensil is adapted to be inserted into the first, lower cooking utensil in such a way that the bottom of the second cooking utensil rests on the bottom of the first cooking utensil. To be able to fabricate such a set of cooking utensils in a simple way, it is suggested that the second cooking utensil comprise a reduced first wall portion which adjoins bottom, a transition portion and a second wall portion, the outer width of the first wall portion of the second cooking utensil being smaller than the inner width of the first cooking utensil, and the height of the first wall portion of the second cooking utensil being matched to the height of the first cooking utensil in such a way that the bottom of the second cooking utensil is adapted to be put on the bottom of the first cooking utensil.
