Description

Title of the invention: Cooking accessory for a cooking device. TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to the general field of cooking devices, in particular cooking equipment and / or household appliances, in particular pressure cooking, and in particular cooking accessories for such devices.

[0002] The invention thus provides a cooking accessory for a cooking device, a cooking set for a cooking device, as well as an associated cooking device. STATE OF THE ART

[0003] Consumer cooking habits and methods have evolved over the past several years. Among these, the cooking method known as "batch cooking," which is based on the principle of "cooking in batches" or preparing meals in groups, is increasingly popular and adopted by many people for preparing their meals at home.

[0004] Batch cooking essentially consists of preparing all the meals for the coming week at home, particularly on weekends, in a single cooking session that generally lasts between two and three hours. This method therefore saves valuable time on daily meal preparation and thus provides peace of mind throughout the week. It also allows for healthier and more varied meals, potentially using seasonal produce, while also being an economical and suitable solution for combating food waste. It is therefore distinct from cooking just before a meal and from reusing leftovers from previous meals.

[0005] Dishes and foods prepared during batch cooking are generally kept in the refrigerator in airtight containers, then possibly reheated or assembled before consumption during the week. A common implementation of batch cooking involves preparing two or three dishes in advance for one or two people.

[0006] However, many consumers who have tested or adopted the "batch cooking" method feel that it still requires significant effort, particularly in preparation, cooking, and cleanup, so that it generally takes longer than the advertised two or three hours. Consequently, a feeling of discouragement and fatigue frequently arises among consumers. The Preparing complex recipes can indeed involve tedious, repetitive, and difficult work, especially with a large quantity of ingredients. Consumers may also lack suitable utensils and kitchen tools, as well as limited space. Simultaneous cooking can also be challenging depending on the consumer's resources. Furthermore, cleaning the various elements involved in preparation, cooking, storage, and consumption can be a complicated and time-consuming process, thus reducing the appeal of batch cooking and the enjoyment derived from it for consumers who use this method. Description of the invention

[0009] There is also a need to allow the use of cooking containers that serve for the preparation, cooking, storage, transport, and consumption of the food they contain, while also allowing for easy cleaning of these containers. In particular, there is a need to reduce the complexity, additional cost, and wasted time for consumers associated with using multiple containers to manage the preparation, cooking, storage, reheating, and transport of prepared meals.

[0010] There is still a need to carry out the cooking of different culinary preparations while avoiding any phenomenon of food splashing and / or transfer of cooking vapors between cooking containers used simultaneously during cooking.

[0011] There is also a need to facilitate the handling, in particular the insertion and / or removal, of cooking containers used in a cooking device or in an accessory of such a device, and in particular independently of the position of the cooking containers or the accessory in relation to the cooking device.

[0012] There is also a need to optimize the available space, in particular the height and / or width, in a cooking device in order to cook a maximum quantity of food preparations.

[0013] There is also a need for cooking containers that are sufficiently suitable for managing the cooking, storage, reheating, for example in the microwave, and transport of dishes.

[0057] Furthermore, the different parts shown in the figures are not necessarily to a uniform scale, in order to make the figures more legible. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0058] With reference to figures 1 to 3, an example of an embodiment of a cooking accessory 1 according to the invention for a pressure cooking appliance 20, visible on [Fig.8], has been schematically illustrated, which includes a cooking lid 25 provided here with two protruding elements 26, 27 which are represented in dotted lines on [Fig.2] and more clearly visible on [Fig.8].

[0059] The cooking accessory 1 includes a frame 3 which allows the handling of several cooking containers 10, in particular three cooking containers 10 as can be seen in figures 4 to 6. The frame 3 is advantageously made of a metallic material, for example stainless steel, which allows it to be resistant to pressure cooking and gives the desired robustness to the cooking accessory 1.

[0060] The frame 3 first includes a support frame 4 which defines a central location 4a for a cooking container 10, this central location 4a allowing the insertion of a cooking container 10, more specifically its container 10b as will be described later, which is supported by the support frame 4 during the handling of the cooking accessory 1. As seen in [Fig.2], the support frame 4 has a quadrilateral shape, here a rectangular shape, with four angles a1, a2, a3 and a4 which correspond to connection areas of the lower ends 5i, 6i of the support uprights 5, 6, described later, and whose four sides cl, c2, c3 and c4 have a concave shape with respect to the central location 4a defined by the support frame 4, in particular a shape of a circular arc convex outwards. The curvature of sides cl, c2, c3 and c4 allows it to adapt to the shape of the cooking vessel 21 of the cooking appliance 20 and the shape of the cooking containers 10.

[0061] Furthermore, the framework 3 includes two support uprights 5 and 6 which define between them a storage volume V for the cooking containers 10, as seen in [Fig.1].

[0062] The two retaining supports 5 and 6 are in the form of handles and allow the cooking accessory 1 to be grasped for insertion and removal from the cooking appliance 20.

[0063] Thus, each support upright 5, 6 has a lower end 5i, 6i connected to the support frame 4 and an upper end 5s, 6s, opposite the lower end 5i, 6i, configured to be located opposite the inner wall 25a of the cooking lid 25 when the cooking lid 25 is closed.

[0064] Specifically, as can be seen in [Fig. 1], each support upright 5, 6 has a lower end 5i, 6i which corresponds to the two lower ends 5il, 5i2 and 6il, 6i2 of the handle. In addition, the upper end 5s, 6s of each support upright 5, 6 comprises a central upper end portion 5s3, 6s3 which is substantially straight and two lateral upper end portions 5s1, 5s2 and 6s1, 6s2, located on either side of the central upper end portion 5s3, 6s3. Finally, the upper end 5s, 6s of each support upright 5, 6 is separated from each lower end 5i 1, 5i2 and 6il, 6i2 of the handle by a central arm 5c 1, 5c2 and 6cl, 6c2 substantially straight, the lateral upper end portions 5s 1, 5s2 and 6s 1, 6s2 being situated in the extension of the central arms 5c 1, 5c2 and 6cl, 6c2.

[0065] Advantageously, each upper end 5s, 6s is shaped to at least partially fit the shape of the protruding elements 26, 27 of the inner wall 25a of the cooking lid 25.

[0066] In particular, the upper ends 5s, 6s of the support uprights 5, 6 are located at a distance from each other. As can be seen in [Fig. 2], the smallest dimension ds between the two upper ends 5s, 6s spaced apart is greater than the largest dimension Ds of a protruding element 27 located in the central part of the inner wall 25a of the cooking lid 25, which implies that the insertion of the cooking accessory 1 into the cooking appliance 20 is not hindered by the presence of this protruding element 27 and that the cooking lid 25 can be closed without difficulty.

[0067] Furthermore, the upper ends 5s, 6s of the support uprights 5, 6 define a shape that is at least partially concave with respect to the inner wall 25a of the cooking lid 25. This concavity at least partially follows the at least partially convex shape of another element projecting 26 from the wall internal 25a of the cooking lid 25. In this way, this protruding element 26 and the cooking accessory 1 do not interfere with each other when the cooking accessory 1 is inserted into the cooking appliance 20, and the cooking lid 25 can be closed without difficulty. A user can therefore position the cooking accessory 25 without indexing it relative to the cooking appliance 20. Specifically, each lateral upper end portion 5s1, 5s2 and 6s1, 6s2 has a concave curve relative to the internal wall 25a of the cooking lid 25 in the closed position, which allows for no interaction, or interference, with the protruding element 27.

[0068] Furthermore, the support uprights 5, 6 are advantageously articulated with respect to the support frame 4, between a deployed position allowing the positioning of the cooking containers 10 in the storage volume V and a closed position for holding the cooking containers 10 in position.

[0069] In particular, this articulation is permitted here in rotation by the fact that the lower ends 5i, 6i have hooks 5ic, 6ic mounted in rotation on the support armature 4, as seen in [Fig.3].

[0070] In addition, in order to facilitate the gripping of the cooking accessory 10 at the central upper end portions 5s3 and 6s3 and in order to facilitate the insertion and / or removal and to protect the cooking vessel 21 at the central arms 5cl, 5c2 and 6c1, 6c2, protective coatings 28 are provided, in particular silicone protectors and / or protective foams.

[0071] Figures 4 to 6 further illustrate a cooking set 40 according to the invention comprising the cooking accessory 1 described with reference to Figures 1 to 3 and three cooking containers 10.

[0072] Each cooking vessel 10 comprises a lid 10a, for example made of metal, particularly stainless steel, and a container 10b, for example made of glass. Advantageously, in this example, the container 10b has a projecting collar 10c, visible in [Fig. 6], which allows the support frame 4 to bear against it so as to be able to lift all the cooking vessels 10. Thus, the support frame 4, through its contact with the collar 10c, supports the cooking vessels 10, while the retaining uprights 5, 6 hold the cooking vessels 10 in position. The gripping is achieved by means of the handles formed by the retaining uprights 5, 6, which advantageously bear against the lid 10b of the upper cooking vessel 10.

[0073] In addition, each cooking container 10 has a closing element 14, between the lid 10a and the container 10b, which has a locking position of the lid 10a on container 10b and a lid release position 10a on container 10b.

[0074] In addition, as can be seen in figures 4 and 5, each cooking container 10 has a decompression device 32 at the level of the lid 10a.

[0075] Fig. 7 illustrates the insertion of this cooking assembly 40 into a cooking vessel 21 of a cooking appliance 20 shown in Fig. 8.

[0076] In this example, the inner wall 25a of the lid 25 of the cooking appliance 20 has a protruding element 26, which corresponds, for example, to a sensor, and a protruding element 27, which corresponds, for example, to a strainer. These protruding elements 26, 27 can hinder the proper closure of the lid 25 if they interfere with the cooking accessory 1 once it is positioned in the cooking vessel 21. Advantageously, the shape of the upper ends 5s, 6s of the frame 3 prevents this phenomenon and ensures that the lid 25 closes properly regardless of the position of the cooking accessory 1 relative to the cooking vessel 21.

[0077] Also, the cooking accessory 1 can be positioned in the cooking vessel 21 at any angle without interfering with the protruding elements 26, 27 of the cooking lid 25. This design is important because the user, when positioning the accessory in the cooking vessel 21, has no indication of the positioning of the protruding elements 26, 27 of the lid 25. Thus, there is no damage to the protruding elements 26, 27 of the lid 25. The shape of the support uprights 5, 6, in the form of handles, allows the three cooking vessels 10 to be encompassed and the entire cooking accessory 1 to be held ergonomically with correct vertical alignment of the cooking vessels 10. Furthermore, this configuration makes maximum use of the available space between the cooking lid 25 and the bottom of the cooking vessel 21 to accommodate the vessels cooking capacity 10.

[0078] Advantageously, the invention can also enable the rapid and simplified implementation of a batch cooking method for preparing several meals in advance. For example, at least three dishes can be prepared and cooked in less than 45 minutes, particularly with a cooking time of 30 minutes or less, and washing time can also be reduced by using the cooking containers at all stages.

[0079] The user can thus prepare their meals for the week using the cooking containers 10, for example in less than 15 minutes, or even less than 10 minutes, and cook them, for example in less than 30 minutes, after simultaneously placing the cooking containers 10, using the cooking accessory 1, into the cooking tank 21 of the pressure cooking appliance 20. Then, after cooking, The user can, for example, store the cooking containers 10 in the refrigerator, then retrieve them and reheat them, for example in the microwave, and finally wash the cooking containers 10, for example in the dishwasher.

[0080] Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments just described. Various modifications can be made to them by those skilled in the art. In particular, various aspects have been presented, and the lessons learned from the different aspects can be taken individually or in any technically feasible combination.

[0081] In all the examples described above, the framework 3 can be made of metal wire, in particular having a cross-section with a diameter between 2 mm and 3 mm.

[0082] The frame 3 may include flexible elements to facilitate its insertion and / or removal from the cooking vessel 21, for example, pads. These flexible elements may, in particular, allow sliding while preventing scratching of the cooking vessel 21.
