Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention is hereinafter referred to as Raclette. Raclette is based on the technology of a hot air fryer or air fryer.
[0002] In this raclette grill, the food is not cooked over heating coils or grill plates, but in small drawers heated by hot air. The principle of hot air cooking is already familiar from conventional air fryers.
[0003] What's new here is that the raclette grill has several small drawers, which are either heated individually or the drawers are heated across different zones. The cooking temperature can be set individually for each drawer / zone or via pre-selected cooking programs set on a control panel.
[0004] The drawers are non-stick coated and can be expanded with an insert for faster cooking.
[0005] The raclette grill is suitable for approximately 6 people. Its advantages include the fast cooking time and the reduced odor after cooking.
[0006] The raclette grill can be built in a round, square, or any other shape. The number of drawers is also customizable. Standard raclette grills have between 6 and 8 individual pans. A similar number of drawers could be chosen for our raclette grill.
[0007] The raclette can either be operated from one side, or, like the common raclettes, from two or four sides.
