STEAM COOKING APPARATUS FOR DOMESTIC OR COMMUNITY USE

摘要

The invention relates to a steam cooking apparatus for domestic or community use where the connection between steam production and cooking chamber is tight and may be open or closed. The apparatus is comprised of a steam production unit (1) containing water heated by means of a regulated heating element (4). The lid (3) of the vat (2) has orifices (7) which are shut by means of spring return (23) or blade return valves (8). The cooking chambers (11) are bowls (13) with lids (18) which open at their base by means of a tube (12). Said tube is engaged in the orifice (7), opens the valve (8) and allows the steam to pass into the bowl (13) containing the food. Once the food is cooked, the bowl (13) may be disconnected by moving the handle (16) upwards and the valve (8) closes the orifice (7). Such apparatus is particularly intended for domestic or community use.
