The multifunctional combined apparatus for food preparation is a professional catering or household device for thermal food preparation. This device enables a multipurpose food preparation. The essence of the construction of the new device is introduction of a rotary drum (1) in the interior of the oven. Onto inner surfaces of the rotating drum (1) are attached or shaped out of the drum attachments or shovels (4) which are meant to distribute liquids. In the centre of the drum we can statically place baskets or static sheet metal containers (6). Into the drum (1) we can also place divided chambers (7) for food. Once attached, they rotate together and in the same direction with the drum. The second possibility of the construction is that device is based upon the static drum, where the axis is arranged horizontally and into which are placed rotary attachments meant to attach rotary consoles. In the first option of the second possibility of construction, shovels (9) meant for spilling liquids over the food are attached onto the rotary consoles. In the second option of the second possibility of construction, one or more wire-netted or perforated chambers (10) for food are placed or attached onto the rotary consoles.
Multifunctional combined apparatus for food preparation such as deep frying and steam cooking, consisting of a housing and, inside the said housing, a static drum, in which a volume for oil, water or other liquid is provided, where a means with at least one chamber for food is rotated or swung by the an actuator around the horizontal axis and is heated by a heater placed inside or outside the said static drum, characterized in that in the lower part of the static drum a volume for oil, water or another liquid is provided into which at least one rotating chamber for the food is immersed for approximately a quarter of the radius of the chamber rotation, whereat in said chambers the oil, water or other liquid located in the lower part of the static drum, or steam can enter and exit and whereat the volume of each chamber is relatively equal to or smaller than the volume of one average portion of food and that the total volume for the food of all chambers together is larger than the volume for oil in the static drum, preferably 2 to 4 times larger.
