Attorney, Agent or Firm:
The apparatus for cooking of food items, in particular, pasta, dehydrated vegetables or the like, comprises a hot water generator, a cooking chamber combined with it, a food inlet entering the cooking chamber and a separating chamber following the cooking chamber through an outlet. The separating chamber is located under the cooking chamber, so that the cooked food items drop into the separating chamber following the completion of the cooking process. The cooking chamber, the hot water generator connected with it and the separating chamber form a coherent, compact unit. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention is a cooking installation having a separating chamber arranged under a cooking chamber, wherein the cooking chamber forms a coherent unit with a hot water generator connected with it and the separating chamber.
The cooking chamber is arranged over the separating chamber so that after completion of the cooking process, the cooked food items are reliably transferred into the separating chamber by gravity as well as by the difference in pressure between the cooking chamber and the separating chamber.
It is not necessary that the cooking chamber and the separating chamber be placed in an exactly vertical manner above each other, they merely should be located in planes located over each other.
The combination of the hot water generator, the cooking chamber and the separating chamber in a single unit leads to a reduction of the loss of energy and to a shortening of the processing time due to the shorter transport path of the food items.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the food inlet is located on the upper side of the cooking chamber, so that the food may be moved continuously from top to bottom, using the force of gravity.
In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the hot water generator and the separating chamber are located in the upper and lower part, respectively, of a housing separated by a horizontal partition, while the essentially tubular cooking chamber enters the hot water generator concentrically from above, passes through the partition and has an outlet opening in the separating chamber.
Valves or flaps are located in the area of the food inlet and the outlet.
Hot water may be introduced over the shortest possible path into the cooking chamber from the hot water generator surrounding it.
The cooking chamber flares out inside the hot water generator preferably in the form of a truncated cone.
The housing containing the hot water generator and the separating chamber consists preferably, from top to bottom, of three truncated sections, the uppermost whereof flares out in the downward direction, while the two others converge downwardly
