PLATEN APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NO-FLIP COOKING MECHANISM FOR A FOOD PREPARATION APPLIANCE

摘要

The present invention is a cooking mechanism for a food preparation appliance which does not require any flipping of the dough product and achieves an irregular temperature profile during the cooking process. The platen system allows the flattened dough material to be transformed to flattened bread that is ready for consumption. The efficient platen system makes the automation and efficiency of the machine to increase and reduce the wait time for use rot get the cooked flattened bread. A system and method the apparatus functions and the response of the software to optimize cooking of the flat bread is dynamically adapted in response to variation flour quality, water content, and recipe selection (user input) by altering at least one of a distance, the sequence of movements and the temperature settings of the platens are performed.

主权项

1. A platen apparatus, comprising,
a set of flattening pans, to provide a flattened dough, is contiguous to a first upper platen and a second lower platen for cooking the flattened dough; the first upper platen having a first surface and a second surface with a specific surface structure for the first surface and the second surface for cooking a flattened dough to make a flat bread; the second lower platen having a third surface and a fourth surface with an unique surface structure for cooking the flattened dough without flipping to make the flat bread, and a software residing in a processor dynamically adapts to at least one of a distance, a sequence movement and a temperature setting of at least one of the set of flattening pans, first upper platen and second lower platen to cook the flat bread which varies due to flour quality, water content, and recipe selection (user input).
