Abstract
Provided is an infrared radiation cooker in which heat from an infrared lamp is directly applied onto food being grilled, to thus cook the upper and inner parts of the food, as well as onto a rotatable pan, to thus simultaneously cook the lower part of the food. As a result, the food cooks evenly throughout without burning or creating residual odors from above to below as well as from outer to inner, and further the rotatable pan of respectively different structures can be selected depending on an intended cooking purpose, to thereby adjust height of the rotatable pan, which changes a heat intensity, to thus vary a cooking style, and which can be used to boil, grill or roast foods as one would like.
Claims4
An infrared ray heat radiation cooker comprising:
- a base stand at the center of the upper surface of which a shaft hole is formed, and on one side of which a power switch for controlling an electric power supply is formed;
- a rotatable pan which is a circular plate style container which is uniformly arcuate in cross-section and can contain food on the upper surface thereof to be heated by infrared rays, and at the center of the lower surface of which a shaft protrusion is formed to be detachably inserted into the shaft hole, to support the rotatable pan on the base stand when detachably inserted into the shaft hole, and to enable rotation of the rotatable pan relative to the base stand when detachably inserted into the shaft hole;
- a supporting pillar which is vertically installed at one side of the base stand;
- and
- an infrared ray irradiator which is installed on the upper end of the supporting pillar and which is switched by the power switch, to thus apply infrared radiant heat onto the rotatable pan said infrared ray irradiator comprising a hood having an upper surface and surrounding sidewalls that extend downward from said upper surface and a lower heat resistant glass plate extending substantially parallel to said upper surface for enclosing said hood and at least one infrared lamp operably positioned within said hood for directing infrared radiation toward said rotatable pan and said upper surface of said hood and said side wall of said hood being covered with a heat insulator layer between said hood and said at least one infrared ray lamp.
