11/243154
Inventors:
Manuel Calzada - Rolling Meadows IL, US
Paul G. Simmons - Glen Ellyn IL, US

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device and a method for cooking food on a grill having opposed upper and lower platens wherein a gap spacing between the platens is adjusted in an initial stage and in subsequent stages of the cooking time for the meat. The method includes causing the food to be located between two opposed platens, the opposed platens each having opposed cooking surfaces and the opposed cooking surfaces defining a gap spacing that is adjustable, and adjusting the gap spacing between the platens so that during an initial stage of the cooking the gap spacing is equal to or less than the nominal initial uncooked thickness of the food, and during one or more subsequent stages of the cooking, after the initial stage, the gap spacing between the platens is varied.

US Patent:
20090049996, Feb 26, 2009
Filed:
Aug 24, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/895391
Inventors:
Manuel Calzada - Rolling Meadows IL, US
Bruce G. Feinberg - Batavia IL, US
Daryl Kellenberger - Glen Ellyn IL, US
Gerald A. Sus - Frankfort IL, US
International Classification:
A47J 36/04
A47J 37/06
A47J 37/10
US Classification:
99422, 2205731, 426523
Abstract:
Improved cooking devices and methods of achieving good adherence contact between a low-friction, non-stick release sheet material and a heated food-supporting platen or cooking surface are provided. The adherence of the release sheet to the lower platen is sufficiently good to permit removal of cooked items such as hamburger patties with a spatula without significantly adversely disturbing the release sheet. In addition, good heat transfer is achieved to permit good sear (good carmelization and good browning) on the bottom surface of foods, including hamburger patties. In addition, inventive cooking utensils and methods are provided that incorporate or use release sheets in the utensils themselves, so that the benefits of a release sheet on the food-supporting platen or cooking surface are achieved.
