Definitions
- the embodiments herein generally relate to a cooking utensil, more particularly but not exclusively to a cooking utensil having at least one of a bottom surface and a body made of a multilayer material and adapted for a gas burner, hot plate, electric stove, fuel stove and an induction cooking device oil-free cooking and less oil cooking and a manufacturing method thereof.
- Cooking utensils are basic tool used daily in human life. Despite having different shapes of cookware, ranging from a barbecue grill to a fry pan, the basic elements of a cookware are two surfaces: one for receiving heat from a heat source, and the other for heating the food. Heat energy generated either from electricity, or a burning flame, is transferred from the source to the heat-receiving surface of the cookware, which is conducted through the cookware and transferred to the food.
- a conventional cooking utensil of a type which is subjected to a magnetic field induced by an exciter and heated by the heat appearing as a result of eddy-current loss is available.
- the conventional cooking utensils of the aforementioned type are made of iron, e.g. cast iron or enameled iron, or 18Cr-8Ni or 18Cr stainless steel. However, they are heavier than those made of other materials. Moreover, the utensils made of iron are liable to rusting, and those made of enameled iron are likely to have the enamel separated from the iron.
- Aluminum has been used since many years for making a variety of cooking utensils, and for making a cooking utensil for heating by an electromagnetic induction, too. It comprises a vessel made of aluminum and having a bottom to which a different magnetic metal is bonded. It, however, still poses a lot of drawbacks. The metal bonded to the bottom is liable to rusting and separation from the aluminum body. The bonding of the metal makes the utensil awkward in appearance and expensive to manufacture. Moreover, it is not comparable to a cooking pan of iron or enameled iron in heating efficiency unless its magnetic metal layer has a considerably large thickness.
- the principal object of the embodiments disclosed herein is to provide a cooking utensil having at least one of a bottom surface and a body made of a multilayer material.
- Another object of the embodiments disclosed herein is to provide a cooking utensil including at least one of a bottom and a full body made up of different metals for improved heat conductivity, energy efficiency, oil-free or less-oil cooking, appearance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
- Yet another object of the embodiments disclosed herein is to provide a cooking utensil to be used on a gas stove, hot plate, electric stove, fuel stove and an induction cooking device and also for oil-free or less oil cooking.
- Still another object of the embodiments disclosed herein is to provide a method of manufacturing a cooking utensil having at least one of a bottom surface and a body made of a multilayer material.
- FIG. 1 depicts a front view of a cooking utensil having at least one of a bottom surface and a body made of a multilayer material of predetermined materials, according to an embodiment of the invention as disclosed herein;
- FIG. 2 depicts a top view of a cooking utensil having at least one of a bottom surface and a body made of a multilayer material of predetermined materials, according to an embodiment of the invention as disclosed herein;
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart depicting a method of manufacturing a cooking utensil having at least one of a bottom surface and a body made of a multilayer material of predetermined materials, according to an embodiment of the invention as disclosed herein.
- the embodiments herein achieve a cooking utensil having at least one of a bottom surface and a body made of a multilayer material. Further, the embodiments herein achieve a cooking utensil including at least one of a bottom and a full body made up of different metals for improved heat conductivity, energy efficiency, oil-free or less-oil cooking, appearance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
