Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an improved kind of cooking apparatus, in particular a food cooking oven for use in professional kitchens and mass-catering applications, which is adapted to make it most convenient for a user to set a desired cooking programme, when meat dishes have to be prepared, by selecting it among a number of pre-set cooking programmes.
  • All these variables are capable of being set by simply entering the value, or the level, that each one of them is supposed to take, as selected among a plurality of selectable values.
  • ovens are provided with a facility that makes it possible for operators to avoid having to each time select the value of each single cooking variable, wherein such facility typically involves providing the oven with a plurality of automatically performable cooking programmes, each one of which is built around and organized on the basis of each single combination of input instructions entered by the oven operator; as a result, these oven are provided with a plurality of controls, by means of which the oven operator is therefore able to enter the kind of food to be cooked, along with all other correlated input information, such as for instance:
  • the operator enters the above-cited input data and the oven selects and activates a previously built and identified cooking programme, which consists in carrying out a cooking cycle, in which the values of the various afore-defined variables (i.e., time, temperature, etc.) are effected so as to reach an optimum final cooking result.
  • a previously built and identified cooking programme which consists in carrying out a cooking cycle, in which the values of the various afore-defined variables (i.e., time, temperature, etc.) are effected so as to reach an optimum final cooking result.
  • the operator will enter the respective information and the oven will in response start and carry out a cooling programme that is defined by correspondingly selecting the proper value or level of the different variables of the afore-cited kind.
  • variable 1) i.e. the species of animal
  • variable 2) can be assigned following states corresponding to the different nature of the meet:
  • variable 2) i.e. the part of animal body, can be selected on one of the following distinct states:
  • Figure 1 provides a general, although not exhaustive overview of the control variables and the states that each one of them is capable of taking.
  • control means used to set, i.e. enter the selected state for each variable may materially be provided in the form of any known means typically used in the art to such purposes, such as push-buttons, rotary multi-setting selector switches, linear setting selector switches, touch controls, proximity switches, and the like, being it on the other hand understood that the actual technique used to set or enter said selected states is by no means relevant to the purposes of the present invention.
  • Each control used to enter each state of each variable is connected with a control, storage and processing unit (not shown), which is adapted to perform an identification of each combination of states that is set and entered by the user via the variable selecting controls.
  • control unit After the states of the different variables have been so selected and entered, said control unit identifies which one among all of the C possible combinations has been selected.
  • This identification and recognition operation can be most easily performed with any of the largely known data processing techniques.
  • control and storage unit is also provided with a memory, in which there are stored C groups of distinct data.
  • Each one of said data groups includes all the machine instructions (parameters) that must be used by a - obviously pre-set - common standard operation programme in view of activating and starting a distinct cooking cycle.
  • Each one of said data groups is associated - e.g. in a separate register - to a respective one of said C combinations.
  • These modes of operations relate to that kind of information 13, which is most of all of interest for the user, such as for instance the time required to complete the cooking cycle, the oven temperature, the possible energization of a microwave generator, and the like.
  • the above-cited processing unit is therefore adapted to retrieve - in a way fully similar to the one used to select the machine instructions, and after the user has duly selected the various states of the variables - said user data and transfer them via appropriate information carrier and display means to the outside for the user to be able to take notice thereof.
  • the latter can confirm - via said "START" command - the selections entered by him/her by activating a proper control on the oven; otherwise, the just entered selections can be modified (via a proper control, not shown in the Figures) and the just described sequence can be iterated.
  • the controls used and the commands entered to modify the selections made by the user and supplied to the oven, or to confirm (START) the same selections, may be of any conventional kind largely known as such in the art, so that they shall not be described here any further.
  • the present invention is based on the capability - as provided by the processing, storage and control unit - for the information pertaining to each combination of states being set and entered by the user to be transformed into a corresponding - since recognized as such - group of machine instructions to be used in the cooking cycle.
  • the present invention allows anyway for a further advantageous improvement; it must in fact be taken into due account that - not only theoretically, but also in practice - not all user data being processed out by the apparatus in front of a given combination of states selected and entered by the user will necessarily be agreed upon or accepted by the user, who for any reason whatsoever may in fact decide (block "IF") that one or more of the above-noted user data is/are not acceptable and, as a result, the oven programming must be modified correspondingly.
  • the user will directly enter in the oven programming those user data, which he/she has decided to use and implement in the cooking cycle to be started, and which - owing to them being also machine instructions, although not necessarily the same as the just processed-out ones - act on said standard cooking programme to trim, i.e. cutting and dressing it in accordance with the preferences entered by the user.
  • the desired user data may be input, i.e. entered by acting on appropriate controls 13A associated to a control panel 14, on which the user data worked out by the apparatus are displayed (see Figure 3).
  • the control to be operated in order to inform the apparatus to go on with the afore-illustrated procedure - after the state for each variable has of course been entered, and after the user has possibly modified any of the user data according to his/her own preferences - may most suitably be the same START control as defined above.
  • the basic advantage deriving from such feature lies in the fact that the user is given the possibility of verifying and either accepting the machine instructions just selected by the apparatus or modifying them by directly acting on the user data, wherein this practically occurs immediately upon the required commands being entered and before the cooking cycle is started.
  • the described invention is based on the definition of three data tables, of which the first table ( Figure 1) represents the different variables whose states are defined by the user, the second table (not shown) represents the aggregate of the machine parameters used by the cooking cycle selected by the processing means, and the third table ( Figure 3) indicates the user data that can be either accepted or modified by the user.
  • a further advantageous improvement is obtained if the species and the part of the body of the animal, which the meat to be cooked is derived from, are displayed in the form of a direct and immediate representation of the image thereof.
  • a visual display 10 on the front side of the oven there is provided a visual display 10, on which - further to various indications of a generally known kind, such as some of said control variables as already defined above, a possible pre-heating step, or if the meat shall be cooked to a rare, medium or well-done condition, and so on - there are graphically represented also four indications relating to:
  • the second one i.e. the one relating to the part of the body of the animal, is not, so that this indication - as on the other hand already specified hereinbefore - ideally completes the series of instructions needed carry out an optimum cooking process and achieve an optimum cooking result.
  • the improvement lies in the fact that, together with the indication provided by the word relating to the selected part of the body (shoulder, back, neck, belly, leg, and the like), it is also the stylized image 11 of the species of the selected animal that is graphically highlighted, and then, when the part 12 of the body of such animal is subsequently selected via appropriate sequential controls, e.g. touch controls or the like, in the same image of the animal there is highlighted, e.g. chromatically or through a different brightness, the part of animal that has been selected.
  • appropriate sequential controls e.g. touch controls or the like
