Multifunctional cooking pot / multifunctional pan with variable dividers

Registration date: 24.5.1999

Description

Note : For the sake of ease of reading, the terms "pot/cooking pot" and "pan/frying pan" are used synonymously below.

Cooking pots of the usual design are usually used to prepare a single dish. Therefore, when cooking several dishes or side dishes (pasta, sauce, potatoes, vegetables, etc.) you always need several pots. This results in the following disadvantages:

1. After preparing the respective dishes, there is unnecessary washing up.

2. When cooking in several pots, energy is always wasted unnecessarily (Reason: each pot requires an extra flame or an extra hotplate).

3. In conventional cooking pots, only one type of preparation (boiling or frying) is possible at a time.

The invention set out in claim 1 eliminates the disadvantages of conventional cooking pots listed above.

A multifunctional cooking pot with variable partitions as described in claim 1 offers the following advantages:

1. It reduces the amount of washing up after preparing meals
.

2. It is energy-saving. Depending on the type of use, you can cook up to 4 dishes at the same time and on just one
Cook and/or fry on a flame or hotplate.

3. It offers the possibility of different preparation methods
(cooking and/or frying) in one cookware at the same time.
realize.

4. It is versatile. Without partition walls, it functions as
conventional cooking pot for preparing larger quantities
of food. With the optional dividers (see numbers 1, 2 and 4 in the attached illustration) it can optionally accommodate up to
provide four cooking segments for the preparation of different dishes.

The invention described here consists of the following elements:

• Pot (7, cross section)

• horizontal partition wall (4) and

• two vertical partitions (numbers 1 and 2 (front view) and 3 (side view)).

In the inner wall of the pot (see number 7, cross section) there are two guide rails (numbers 5 and 6) arranged at a 90° angle with heat-resistant plastic seals. The guide rails (5 and 6) serve to hold or fix the partition walls (1, 2 and 4) and to seal the cooking segments created by the partition walls. By inserting the horizontal partition wall (4) into the horizontal guide rail (5) of the cooking pot, the pot is divided into two equally sized segments. By then inserting the vertical partition wall (1 (front view) or 3 (side view)) into the vertical guide rail of the pot (6) or into the vertical guide rail (8) of the horizontal partition wall (4), the multifunctional cooking pot described here receives an additional, third cooking segment. Analogous to the procedure described above, a fourth, optional cooking segment can be created if required using the second vertical partition wall (2 (front view) or 3 (side view)).

-A-

By using the horizontal partition (4) alone, the cooking pot is divided into two equally large segments in a 50:50 ratio (number 9, top view). This allows the preparation of a maximum of two dishes and the realization of two preparation methods (boiling and/or frying) at the same time. Example: Cooking pasta in segment 1 and simultaneously preparing any sauce in segment 2.

By using the horizontal partition (4) and the vertical partition (1 (front view) or 3 (side view)), the multifunctional cooking pot is divided into three cooking segments in a ratio of 50:25:25 (number 10, top view). This allows the preparation of a maximum of three dishes and the realization of two cooking methods (boiling and/or frying) at the same time. Example: Boiling potatoes in segment 1, cooking vegetables in segment 2 and frying meat in segment 3.

If the horizontal partition (4) and the two identical vertical partitions (1 and 2 (front view) or 3 (side view)) are used at the same time, the result is a cookware divided into four equally sized cooking segments (ratio: 25:25:25:25%) (number 11, top view). This enables the preparation of a maximum of four dishes and the realization of two preparation methods (boiling and/or frying) at the same time. Example: cooking rice in segment 1, cooking pasta in segment 2, cooking vegetable 1 in segment 3 and cooking vegetable 2 in segment 4.

For better handling of cooked or fried foods, the multifunctional cooking pot can optionally be combined with cooking or frying inserts (numbers 12 to 17) made of fine-mesh wire mesh, matching the cooking segments created using the dividers. The inserts can be inserted into or removed from the pot using a removable hook handle (18).
