  • Patent number: 11844460
    Abstract: Food cooking vessel including a body having a bottom wall and at least one side wall. The side wall extends from the bottom wall defining an inner compartment of the cooking vessel for food being cooked. At least the bottom wall is of aluminum. The cooking vessel includes a plate-like component of a disk of ferromagnetic material, integrally coupled with the bottom wall at the respective outer surface, to at least partially cover the bottom wall outer surface. The plate-like component has through holes and is divided into first perforated areas having a first void-to-solid ratio value (VtS1) and second perforated areas having a second void-to-solid ratio value (VtS2), mutually alternated in a symmetrical manner. Each first perforated area, featuring a greater void-to-solid ratio, is in a weighted ratio with respect to the second perforated area, featuring a smaller void-to-solid ratio.

  • Patent number: 10045659
    Abstract: A lid for a container for cooking food, the lid for resting on a free edge of the container, the lid including a covering element, a shaped element and connector for connecting the two elements, the shaped and covering elements configured to allow them to move between: a first closure operating position of the lid, in which the two elements of the lid combine to close the cooking container on which the lid rests, and a second opening operating position of the lid, for allowing venting of the container when the lid rests thereon and to prevent escape from the container. The lid includes at least one thermal actuator, on reaching a first pre-set temperature, for automatically moving the covering element with respect to the shaped element to bring the latter into the opening position, to allow venting of the container when the lid is placed upon it.

  • Patent number: 8783947
    Abstract: A food cooking container provided with an electronic temperature monitoring device, the electronic temperature monitoring device being powered by converting thermal energy into electrical energy by the parasitic exploitation of temperature differences generated between the hot container and a heat dissipating metal mass, and activates a device in the form of a piezoelectric buzzer or LEDs, to indicate pre-set safety temperature limits. The electronic temperature monitoring device includes an electronic thermoelectric harvesting sensor for converting thermal energy into electrical energy via its electronic thermoelectric harvesting system.
