The present invention is a cooking oven for foodstuffs, comprising: a cooking chamber, wherein foodstuffs can be placed for being cooked, having a bottom wall provided with a first cooking chamber outlet positioned in such a way to receive grease collected in the bottom wall; a grease conduit configured for draining grease from the cooking chamber, wherein the first cooking chamber outlet is fluidly connected to the grease conduit; a heating device configured for heating the internal of the cooking chamber; and a vapour outlet duct configured for discharging vapour from the cooking chamber. The bottom wall of the cooking chamber is further provided with a second cooking chamber outlet, distinct from the first cooking chamber outlet and fluidly connected to the vapour outlet duct.

A flavoring device includes at least one flavoring casing having an air inlet opening arranged for allowing air to enter the flavoring casing, a flavoring air outlet opening arranged for allowing air to pass to a cooking chamber, and a flavoring air path fluidly connecting the air inlet opening to the flavoring air outlet opening. The flavoring casing houses, at least while in operation: a heating element arranged in the flavoring air path, and a flavoring substance rack arranged at least partially in the flavoring air path downstream the heating element. The heating element is housed spaced apart from the flavoring substance rack in such a way that, in operation, heat is transferred from the heating element to the flavoring substance rack mainly by air flowing inside the flavoring casing from the air inlet opening to the flavoring air outlet opening through the flavoring air path.

Flavoring device

A method of controlling the operation of a flavoring device () associated with a cooking chamber () of a cooking oven (') for treating food stored therein is proposed. The flavoring device () comprises at least one casing (), at least one air path () traversing said casing () and fluidly connecting at least one air inlet opening () of said casing () to at least one air outlet opening () of said casing (). The method comprises: a) providing one between a flavoring substance () and a smoking substance () in said at least one air path (); b) selecting () one between a flavoring process and a smoking process, and c) controlling (--) a heating in said casing () according to the selected one between said flavoring process and said smoking process.

An apparatus for cooking food products is provided. The apparatus includes at least one heating plate having a surface provided with alternate crests and troughs. The apparatus further comprises a fixing system adapted to detachably fix a corrugated protective plate, having a non-stick face, to said heating plate. The corrugated protective plate has a first and a second corrugated edge and alternate crests and troughs extending from the first to the second corrugated edge and adapted to match the alternate crests and troughs of the heating plate when the corrugated protective plate is fixed to the heating plate. Said fixing system comprises fixing elements adapted to exert a force on corresponding portions of the protective plate close to the first or the second corrugated edge so as to push the protective plate against the heating plate.

Apparatus for cooking food products including a detachable plate

A washing appliance has a hydraulic circuit including a tank for storing a predetermined amount of liquid, and a heating element inside the tank. The heating element heats the liquid to a predetermined temperature. A water inlet receives water from a water supply network. A descaling apparatus includes a descaler chamber having a housing portion housing a descaler product container containing a descaling agent and a mixing portion containing a mix of water and a predetermined amount of the descaling agent. The housing portion is fluidly connected to the mixing portion and an inlet pipe fluidly connecting a water inlet to the descaler chamber. The descaling apparatus also includes an outlet pipe that drains the mix of water and descaling agent from the mixing portion and provides it to the tank and a spraying element in the mixing portion that sprays water from the inlet pipe towards the housing portion.

Washing machine comprising a de-scaling apparatus

Apparatus for cooking food products on both sides thereof, comprising a base member associated to a bottom heating surface, a first electric heating element located between the base member and the bottom heating surface, an upper movable member associated to a top heating surface, a second electric heating element located between said upper member and said top heating surface, and one or more microwave generators housed in the base member; when said upper member is lowered, the top heating surface comes to lie opposite to the bottom heating surface so as to form a cooking cavity therebetween. Said first electric heating element is separated from the bottom heating surface by a hollow space and the microwave generator is placed in such position, with the use of appropriate wave-guide means, as to allow the microwaves issuing therefrom to propagate towards said hollow space and, eventually, towards the bottom surface of said bottom heating surface.

Apparatus for cooking food products on both sides thereof with microwaves and radiated heat

Food cooking oven with sterilization control arrangement

A food cooking oven, particularly for use in commercial or collective food service applications, includes a cooking cavity and a heat generating device. A fan is provided for fan-assisted cooking and is adapted to transfer heat to the inside of the cooking cavity. A zirconium-oxide cell is located at a wall of the oven and has one of its sides open towards the outside atmosphere and the other one of its sides open towards the inside of the cooking cavity and is capable of measuring the relative concentration of oxygen within the cavity. The terminals of the zirconium-oxide cell are connected to an indicator, which is arranged so as to be visible from the outside of said oven. The cell terminals are also connected to a controller, which preferably includes at least one connected electronic microprocessor unit and is arranged so as to be able to automatically determine the moisture content of the gas mixture inside the cooking cavity.
