Abstract
The invention relates to an appliance (1) for cooking food, the appliance comprising firstly a receptacle (2) for containing the food and secondly a blade (8) placed within the receptacle (2), said receptacle (2) and blade (8) being designed to be driven with relative rotary motion so as to stir the food in the receptacle (2), the appliance being characterized in that the blade (8) includes turnover means (13) shaped to act under the effect of the relative rotary motion to cause at least a fraction of the food to turn over in a turnover direction (D) that presents, in the plane of the rotary motion, a majority component that is radial.

An appliance (1) for cooking food, the appliance comprising firstly a receptacle (2) for containing the food and secondly a blade (8) placed within the receptacle (2), said receptacle (2) and blade (8) being designed to be driven with relative rotary motion so as to stir the food in the receptacle (2), the appliance being characterized in that the blade (8) includes turnover means (13) shaped to act under the effect of the relative rotary motion to cause at least a fraction of the food to turn over in a turnover direction (D) that presents, in the plane of the rotary motion, a majority component that is radial.
A method of cooking food in which the food for cooking is placed within a receptacle (2), a blade (8) being installed within the receptacle (2), said method comprising the step of i) establishing relative rotation between the blade (8) and the receptacle (2), in which at least a fraction of said food is caused to turn over in a turnover direction (D) that presents, in the plane of the rotary motion, a majority component that is radial.
A method of cooking food in which the food for cooking is placed within a receptacle (2), a blade (8) being installed within the receptacle (2), said blade including turnover means, said method comprising at least a step i) in which, by establishing relative rotation between the blade (8) and the receptacle (2), at least a fraction of said food is caused by the turnover means to turn over in a turnover direction (D) that presents, in the plane of the rotary motion, a majority component that is radial.
