KUGELAEHNLICH GEWOELBTE KOCHPFANNE (WOK)

摘要

Described is a part-spheroidal frying pan (1) (wok), as used for cooking in China, which can be used on stoves with flat, inductively heated hotplates. The invention calls for a support made of metal which can be heated inductively to be fitted to the underside of the frying pan, the metal support conducting the energy radiated by the hotplate to the part of the frying pan (1) located above the hotplate, at the same time providing support to keep the pan in the upright position. The support may comprise an assembly made up of a number of rings (3). The rings (3) may be made of sheet metal and may be planar or tubular in cross-section. The annular spaces between the rings may be filled with a thermally conducting and/or heat-storing filler material. The ring assembly is fixed to the underside of the pan to give a joint with good thermal-conduction properties, preferably by welding or brazing.
