Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mains powered cooking appliance with direct use for preparing a cooked egg.
  • the egg is cooked within its shell to produce a range of yolk states similar to a traditional 'boiled egg'.
  • the present invention cooks an egg in a novel, accurate and interesting manor.
  • a number of halogen bulbs are positioned around an egg.
  • the distance from the bulbs to the egg is fixed in order to provide the optimum distribution of heat.
  • a single user control interface preferably situated on the upper face of the appliance allows the cooking time to be adjusted by 15 seconds increments from a minimum .of 4.5 minutes to a maximum of 7.5 minutes, thus coping with commonly available egg sizes.
  • a visual indication such as a series of LEDs indicate the remaining heating time. Each, of a possible of 12 LEDs represents a unit of time, e.g. 30 seconds.
  • the appliance is ready to be used again immediately with no maintenance or loss of performance.
  • a single LED remains lit for a period of time e.g. 5 minutes post cooking to warn of any potential hot surfaces.
  • the halogen bulbs are initiated by the user only after the user commences a countdown time. Upon the timer reaching zero, the bulbs are automatically switched off.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a cooking appliance according to the present invention with part of the outer walls of a canister removed for clarity;
  • Fig. 2 shows a part of the appliance shown in Fig. 1.
  • the preferred embodiment of cooking appliance is in the form of a waterless egg boiler which is based on a container which has two main parts namely a heater unit and a food carrying unit which is detachable from the heater unit.
  • the food carrying unit is arranged so that when placed in operative juxtaposition with the heater unit, the food, in this case an egg, is disposed such that radiation from the heater unit impinges upon the egg substantially uniformally.
  • the egg carrying unit is arranged to be received within a container part of the device which is formed by an open topped canister 6 which is mounted inside it a number of radiant heating elements e.g. halogen bulbs 19 disposed around the inner periphery of the canister 6 and arranged to receive an egg between them.
  • the base of the container is provided with means for connecting the appliance to a mains supply and although only one heating element is shown in Fig. 1, it will be appreciated that there will be a sufficient number of heating elements e.g. 4 to uniformally heat the egg.
  • Cooking time may be adjusted by pressing an activate button 2 and the time can then be increased in increments of say, 15 seconds using a positive button 4 or decreased using a negative button 3.
  • Cooking time may be displayed in any convenient fashion but it is preferred to utilise a number of light emitting devices each representing a unit of cooking time. In the present invention, 12 light emitting devices are utilised each representing 30 second of cooking time.
  • the start and stop signals generated as a result of operating the buttons on the cover are transmitted to the base in any suitable manner.
  • the cover 15 is provided with a centre section 14 which is arranged to carry the food to be cooked in this case the egg.
  • the centre section 14 is suspended from the undersigned of the cover 15 by means of legs 9.
  • the cover 15 with attached centre section 14 is removed from the container 6 using the handle 12.
  • An egg 11 is loaded on to the centre section 14 by rising a topper handle 7 which in turn lifts a conical bell 24 which is attached to an end of a shaft passing through the cover 15 to the handle 7.
  • the egg 11 is placed on to an egg support 13 provided on the centre section 14 and then the topper handle is gently lowered which lowers the bell 24 onto the egg.
  • the cover can then be replaced on to the canister 6 and the length of the legs 9 is such that the egg is accurately located at a required distance in to the canister so as to be properly irradiated by the halogen bulbs 19.
  • the canister 6 is insulated by an air gap between large and small cylinders 28, 29 which are preferably made of glass so as to ensure a safe temperature on any outer surface of the appliance.
  • the base of the canister is provided with the halogen bulbs such that they are disposed with their long axis parallel to the axis of the canister.
  • One end of each bulb is located in the base and the other end is mounted in a bulb retainer 17.
  • the centre section 14 is in the form of a circular plate whose outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the canister. Consequently, the plate" 14 is provided arcuate apertures 20 which are arranged to receive the bulb retainers 17 as the cover and centre section 14 are lowered to the canister.
  • the apertures 20 are provided with a standing skirt 18 which are of a height sufficient to obscure the unsightly ends of the halogen bulbs 19 but also serve to ensure that any spillages do not contact the halogen bulbs 19.
  • the centre section 14 is relatively easy to clean and it means that little or no cleaning is required for the base unit as might otherwise be required where the centre section 14 to be a different shape and not require the apertures 20 and skirt 18.
  • the egg can be raised to an ideal cooking height by a fixed egg support 20 provided on the base of the canister and which slides through the bore of the egg loading support 13.
  • the halogen bulbs 19 are shut off in the opposite manner to that described above.
  • One of the LEDs 5 is left illuminated for a predetermined period of time to alert anyone to potentially hot surfaces.
  • the cover 15 Once the cover 15 has been lifted sufficient to allow the centre section to clear the bulb retainers 17, it may be rotated using the handle 12. This allows the underside of the centre section 14 to be supported on the bulb retainers 17.
  • the bulb retainers 17 are removable from the base so as to allow the bulbs 19 to be changed readily.
  • the preferred embodiment also provides means for perforating the egg. This is achieved by lifting a mass 23 which is slidable on the rod 8 using a handle 22 and dropping it on to the bell 24. A sharp edge on the inside of the bell 24 causes the exact impact force to perforate the egg. Modifications may be made to the above embodiment, for example, instead of the controls for the on/off and timing being on the cover, they may be located on the base which would avoid the need for the transmitter and receiver arrangements described above.
