Abstract
A cooking system that utilizes vibration to improve the convenience of preparing food and the quality of the finished product. The system uses a vibrating device coupled to a cooking vessel with a pad and/or isolation blocks disposed between the vibrator and the vessel. The cooking system can be adapted to prepare specific foods in specific quantities, such as popcorn in pre-packaged containers.
Claims21
A cooking system for heating the contents of a cooking vessel which has a cooking surface, comprising:
- a support adapted to support the cooking vessel;
- heating element comprising a coil for creating an oscillating magnetic field that interacts with and generates an amount of heat in the cooking vessel;
- a pad between said support and the cooking vessel;
- a vibrator for vibrating said cooking surface wherein said vibrator is a solid state electrical vibrator which when activated causes the cooking surface to vibrate.
A cooking system for heating the contents of a cooking vessel which has a cooking surface, comprising:
- a support adapted to support the cooking vessel;
- a heating equipment comprising a coil for creating an oscillating magnetic field which when activated interacts with and generates an amount of heat in the cooking vessel;
- a vibrator adapted to vibrate the cooking surface wherein said vibrator is separated from the heating element such that vibration of the heating element by the vibration is inhibited when the heating element and vibrator are activated;
- wherein the vibrator vibrates the cooking surface activated;
- and
- a pad comprising a thermally insulating, elastically deformable material and configured to be located underneath and in contact with the cooking vessel further comprising that said vibrator is a solid state electrical vibrator.
A cooking system for heating the contents of a cooking vessel which has a cooking surface, comprising:
- a support adapted to support the cooking vessel;
- a heating element comprising a coil for creating an oscillating magnetic field which when activated interacts with and generates an amount of heat in the cooking vessel, the heating element seperated from the support;
- a vibrator configured to vibrate said cooking surface wherein the vibrator is isolated from the heating element to inhibit vibration of the heating element by the vibrator when the coil is activated;
- at least one elastomeric isolation block positioned between said support and the coil to inhibit vibration of the coil;
- and
- a pad configured to be located underneath the cooking vessel and between the heating element and the cooking vessel further comprising that said vibrator is a solid state electrical vibrator.
