Cooking apparatus for loose food products comprises a bowl having support means resting on the top or rim thereof carrying downwardly extending prongs for breaking up loose product carried by a scraper blade rotatable over the bottom of the bowl, and also carrying downwardly extending paddles which remove product carried by the scraper blade. A drive shaft extending upwardly from below the bottom of the bowl is detachably connected to a hub to which the scraper blade is connected. The support means for the prongs and paddles is removably mounted on the top rim or edge of the bowl to enable ready detachment for cleaning purposes. Disconnection of the drive shaft from the blade hub permits ready removal of the bowl for cleaning purposes; the bowl being removably mounted on a support stand. The drive shaft includes a detachable connection so that the bowl may be tilted on the stand to pour grease therefrom. Heating means, desirably a gas burner, is provided below the bowl bottom to heat the contents as they are mixed.
Apparatus for processing loose food products comprising a bowl, a rotatable drive shaft extending through the bottom of the bowl and which is drivable from below said bowl bottom, a scraper blade fixed for rotation with said drive shaft adjacent the bowl bottom to scrape product off the bottom, support means removably mounted on the rim of the bowl, and a plurality of downwardly extending prongs carried by said support means and extending across said bowl to break up product carried by the blade as the drive shaft is rotated, said support means comprising a first bar extending across the top of the bowl carrying said downwardly extending prongs, a second bar extending across the top of the bowl transversely with respect to the first bar so as to intersect the first bar and carrying downwardly extending paddles, means for securing said bars together at their intersection, and means for latching the respective ends of at least one of said bars to the top rim of the bowl.
Apparatus for loose food products comprising a cooking bowl, a support stand for said bowl having openings which provide sockets, legs fixed to said bowl extending downwardly therefrom and removably engaging in said sockets for removably supporting said bowl on said support stand, a central upstanding hub fixed to the bottom of the bowl, a scraper blade support hub journalled for rotation on said bowl hub, scraper blades extending substantially radially from and fixed to said scraper blade support hub adjacent the bowl bottom to scrape product off the bottom, a first bar extending across the top of the bowl, a second bar extending across the top of the bowl transversely with respect to the first bar so as to intersect the first bar, means for securing said bars together at their intersection, means for removably latching the ends of at least one of said bars to the top rim of said bowl, a plurality of prongs extending across the bowl downwardly from one of said bars to break up product carried by the blades, paddles extending downwardly from the other of said bars to remove product carried by said scraper blades, a drive shaft projecting through said bowl hub and through said scraper blade support hub and which is drivable from below said bowl bottom, means removably connecting said drive shaft to said scraper blade hub, a detachable connection in said drive shaft below the bowl bottom enabling the bowl to be tilted on said support stand to pour grease therefrom, and a gas burner on said support stand below the bowl bottom positioned about said drive shaft.
