Embodiment Construction

[0044] Heating elements for cooking appliances 1 in figure 1 and figure 2 above is displayed. The heating element 1 is composed of a housing 10 and a heating body 11 . The housing 10 is composed of a cooking side (not shown) and side surfaces extending from the cooking side to form the housing.

[0045] In one embodiment, the heating element 1 is a heating plate.

[0046] Housing 10 is made of corrosion resistant steel. Corrosion-resistant steel, a commonly used heating element material, has improved resistance to cooking fluids such as salt-containing grease compared to aluminium. With other commonly used materials, these fluids easily damage the exposed parts of the heating element 1, resulting in a rough surface. Consequently, heat transfer, and thus cooking of the finished food product, becomes more uneven and more difficult to control.

[0047] Additionally, corrosion-resistant steel has improved resistance to the chemicals used to clean heating elements, such as s...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a heating element (1) for a cooking apparatus. The heating element (1) comprises a heating body (11) having a heat transfer loop (12) encased within the heating body (11); and a housing (10) made of corrosion resistant steel, the housing (10) having a cooking side and side surfaces extending from the cooking side. The heating body (11) is disposed within the housing (10) for allowing the heat transfer from the heating body (11) to the housing (10). In another aspect, the present invention relates to a belt cooking apparatus comprising a heating element (1) according to the above. In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to a method for producing a heating element (1) for a cooking apparatus. The method comprises the steps of: providing a housing (10) made of corrosion resistant steel, the housing (10) having a cooking side and side surfaces extending from the cooking side; and forming a heating body (11), having a heat transfer loop (12) embedded therein, inside the housing (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a heating element for a cooking appliance. Background technique [0002] In the food manufacturing industry, some finished food products are pre-cooked. A commonly used type of cooking appliance for this purpose is the conveyor belt cooking appliance, also known as a conveyor grill. Food products such as burgers, chicken steaks, fish steaks, pancakes or other finished products can be cooked in such devices. Cooking occurs as the finished food product is conveyed on the moving belt(s) while heat is conducted through the moving belt(s) by heating elements behind the belt(s). A heating plate is usually used as the heating element. [0003] US3646880 discloses a typical conveyor belt cooking device. The apparatus has two conveyor belts between which the finished food products are conveyed and cooked by heat from a heating plate behind the conveyor belts. The heating plate comprises a generally rectangular metal panel in which ...
