Description

[0001] The invention relates to a lid attachment for placing on a cooking / baking base, preferably a camping oven, comprising at least one wall, wherein this wall has a preferably stepped edge in the lower area, which is placed on the cooking / baking base.

[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a camping oven for mounting on a camping stove, comprising at least a cooking / baking base in which food can be cooked or baked and a lid attachment for mounting on the cooking / baking base. State of the art

[0003] Camping has long been a popular holiday and leisure activity. A motorhome or caravan can be used for camping. In either case, it's common to use a camping stove for preparing food, which is usually powered by liquid gas, gasoline, or methylated spirits. The liquid gas, gasoline, or methylated spirits is stored in fuel containers such as cartridges or tanks. Depending on the type and size of the camping stove, the fuel container may be connected to the stove via a hose or integrated directly into the stove. Portable camping stoves are used for camping and tent camping. When camping with a motorhome or caravan, the camping stove is permanently installed in a kitchen area inside the vehicle.In any case, it is possible to prepare food on a camping stove by using, for example, a cooking pot or a frying pan, just as is common in a home kitchen.

[0004] To expand cooking options while camping, one product is the "Omnia Oven," a portable oven that doesn't require its own heat source. It can be placed on a stovetop, such as a gas cooker, and operated there, thus providing the cooking capabilities of a conventional oven while camping. The "Omnia Oven" consists of three cylindrical or ring-shaped elements, each with a fixed diameter and height.

[0005] The "Omnia oven," which is usually used on a gas stove, has a kind of chimney in the middle through which a great deal of heat is directed upwards onto the pan lid. This results in a significant amount of heat dissipation and thus a waste of energy. Description of the invention

[0006] The inventor recognized that the dissipated waste heat, especially in camping ovens but also in conventional cookware, can be used by means of a specially designed lid attachment.

[0007] The inventor has therefore set himself the task of improving a lid attachment for placing on a cooking / baking base and a camping oven for placing on a camping stove in such a way that the energy previously considered useless in the form of dissipated heat can now be used.

[0008] This problem is solved by a lid attachment for placing on a cooking / baking base according to claim 1 and by a camping oven for placing on a camping stove according to claim 7.

[0009] The inventor therefore proposes to improve a lid attachment for placing on a cooking / baking base, preferably a camping oven, consisting of at least one wall, wherein this has a preferably stepped edge in the lower area, which is placed on the cooking / baking base, in such a way that the wall of the lid attachment surrounds a base which, together with parts of the wall itself, forms a further cooking / baking area.

[0010] This lid attachment, placed on a cooking / baking base or as a replacement for a conventional, usually convex-shaped lid on a camping oven, makes it possible to use the previously unused dissipated heat energy for cooking or baking in an additional cooking / baking area.

[0011] The lid attachment is made of a metallic material, preferably aluminum. The base and parts of the wall may be coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Aluminum has excellent thermal conductivity of approximately 235 W / m*K, which is almost 15 times better than that of stainless steel. This means the aluminum lid attachment heats up quickly and distributes heat very evenly, resulting in gentle, consistent cooking and thus a perfect cooking result. The lid attachment with a PTFE coating is particularly suitable for searing food, as nothing sticks to it, making it easy to clean.

[0012] In an advantageous design, the lid attachment is manufactured using a deep-drawing process. A deep-drawn lid attachment, produced using an industrial deep-drawing process, allows for a robust, one-piece lid attachment without welds. Because the lid attachment is formed from a single piece of metal, there are no welds or joints where dirt or bacteria could accumulate. This makes it particularly hygienic and easy to clean. Optionally, the lid attachment can also be manufactured by metal spinning (spindle forming). Metal spinning, also known as spinning or die forming, is a chipless manufacturing process for producing rotationally symmetrical hollow bodies from sheet metal. Compared to the aforementioned deep drawing, the tooling costs are lower, making it particularly suitable for small and medium production runs as well as prototypes.In the manufacturing process, a circular sheet metal disc is clamped into a lathe or a special spinning machine along with a die. While the sheet metal disc rotates, it is gradually laid over the die using spinning tools, such as rollers or rods, until it exactly replicates the die's outer contour.

[0013] Alternatively, the pan lid can be milled from a solid piece of semi-finished material. The preferred material thickness for the lid is approximately 1.2 mm to 1.8 mm. This specific material thickness is chosen to achieve optimal stability and thermal conductivity for the lid.

[0014] In one embodiment of the invention, at least one or two handles or at least one handle are provided in the area of ​​the wall. The handles or the handle are positively attached to the wall, preferably by riveting.

[0015] It is also advantageous to have several holes in the wall area to dissipate heat or excess pressure from the cooking / baking base.

[0016] In an optional alternative to the invention, at least one heat-conducting plate is attached to the base of the lid attachment, facing the cooking / baking base. Typically, a chimney-shaped opening is located in the center of the cooking / baking base, which conducts a significant amount of heat upwards from the heat source. The heat-conducting plate ensures a homogeneous distribution of heat across the base of the lid attachment.

[0017] In addition to the lid attachment, the inventor also proposes to improve a camping oven for mounting on a camping stove, consisting at least of a cooking / baking base in which food can be cooked or baked and a lid attachment for mounting on the cooking / baking base, in such a way that the lid attachment forms a wall that surrounds a base which, together with parts of the wall itself, forms another cooking / baking area.

[0018] The new camping oven is typically used on a gas stove and features a chimney-like structure in the center that channels a significant amount of heat upwards from the stove. Thanks to the redesigned lid, the newly usable upper surface is ideal for utilizing this previously unused heat energy for cooking or baking, creating an additional cooking / baking area.

[0019] The invention is described below with reference to the Fig. 1 to 5 described.

[0020] The Fig. Figure 1 shows a side perspective top view of the lid attachment 1 according to the invention. The lid attachment 1 is suitable for placing on a Fig. 1.

The stepped rim 6 allows the lid attachment 1 to be placed on cooking / baking bases of varying diameters. The wall 4 of the lid attachment 1 surrounds a base 3, which, together with parts of the wall 4 itself, forms a further cooking / baking area. In this embodiment, two handles 2 are attached to the wall 4. The two handles 2 are riveted to the wall 4 and facilitate both the transport of the lid attachment 1 and easier handling during cooking. Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, several holes 5 are provided in the wall 4, which serve to dissipate heat or excess pressure from the cooking / baking base.

[0021] The Fig. Figure 2 shows a side perspective view from the underside of the lid attachment 1 according to the invention. The lid attachment 1 has a wall 4, which preferably has a stepped rim 6 on its underside. The stepped rim 6 allows the lid attachment 1 to be placed on cooking / baking bases of various sizes.
