Food cooking unit

Food cooking unit comprising:

• at least one cooking zone defined on top of at least one gas burner supplied with gas from at least one regulating electrovalve;
• an ignition source for each cooking zone, adjacent to the at least one gas burner of said cooking zone for ignition thereof, each ignition source being supplied with gas from one ignition source electrovalve;
• a safety electrovalve for each cooking zone connected to the correspondent at least one regulating electrovalve and ignition source electrovalve for regulation of the gas provided thereto;
• at least one food monitoring sensor for each cooking zone configured to monitor a cooking process carried out on the cooking zone and/or a weight sensor for each cooking zone configured to detect weight variations on the cooking zone;
• at least one thermocouple for each cooking zone in thermal contact with flames that apply heat to the cooking zone to generate a signal, and in connection with the correspondent safety electrovalve, which is configured to interrupt the gas flow when the signal generated is interrupted;
• an electronic control device connected to the at least one regulating electrovalve, to the at least one food monitoring sensor and/or to the weight sensor, the electronic control device stores different regulation programs of the at least one regulation electrovalve and is configured to regulate the at least one regulation electrovalve in application of one of the regulation programs in response to the signals obtained from the food monitoring sensor and/or from the weight sensor;
• and
• the electronic control device is also connected to the at least one thermocouple and is configured to interrupt the regulation program, closing the at least one regulating electrovalve and the ignition source electrovalve in response to an interruption of the signal generated by the at least one thermocouple.
