Latest Patents

One of Vega's latest patents is a food cooking appliance that utilizes both steam and heat for rapidly cooking food products. This innovative appliance features a food cooking housing where food products are placed, and a separate steam generator housing that generates steam. The steam is fluidically conducted into the cooking housing, allowing for accelerated cooking as steam circulates in the upper regions while heat from heated grills or platens cooks the lower regions. This dual cooking method is particularly beneficial for commercial fast-food establishments, enabling them to serve food quickly and efficiently. Additionally, the design allows for flexibility in kitchen layouts, as the steam generator can be located apart from the cooking housing.

Another notable patent by Vega involves a food cooking appliance that incorporates food containers with openings of various geometrical configurations. These containers are designed to pivot between non-cooking and cooking positions, allowing food products to be placed atop heated grills or platens. The use of covers creates enclosed cooking chambers, where steam is introduced to enhance the cooking process. This innovative approach further exemplifies Vega's commitment to improving cooking technology.
