Abstract
Provided is a cooking device, in particular a kitchen item or an electrical cooking appliance, said cooking device comprising an inner and/or upper face that can receive food and an outer and/or lower face that is coated with a non-stick coating forming a cooking surface. The non-stick coating comprises at least one continuous thin film of non-oxide or at least partially non-oxide polymer-derived ceramic, said thin film forming the cooking surface. A method for producing such a cooking device is also provided.
Claims11
A method for manufacturing a cooking device having a support comprising an inner face capable of receiving food and an outer face, said inner face being coated with a non-stick coating forming a cooking surface,
- wherein said non-stick coating consists of at least one continuous thin film of non-oxide polymer-derived ceramic or polymer-derived ceramic comprising a non-oxide portion representing at least 25 atomic % of the ceramic, said at least one continuous thin film forming the cooking surface,
- wherein said at least one continuous thin film has a thickness comprising between 5 μm and 20 μm,
- the method comprising the following steps:
- a) providing a support presenting at least two opposite faces;
- b) preparing a preceramic polymer from a molecular precursor of said preceramic polymer comprising the suspension of said molecular precursor in a fluid, said fluid being an organic solvent or water, in a concentration of less than 20% of said molecular precursor in said fluid, then polymerizing to obtain a preceramic polymer composition;
- c) applying on at least one of the faces of the support of at least one layer of said preceramic polymer composition;
- d) optionally a drying, and
- e) heat treating to ceramize said preceramic polymer to form a thin film of non-oxide polymer-derived ceramic or polymer-derived ceramic.
