The present invention provides a combination pressure cooker and air fryer lid that may be attached to a vessel. The lid may be adjustable between two general cooking positions. In the first cooking position, the lid may operate with the vessel as a pressure cooker. In the second cooking position, the may operate with the vessel as an air fryer. In performing either of the pressure cooking or air fryer cooking functions, the lid need not be replaced.

The invention relates to a cooking assembly (1) which comprises an electrical cooking appliance (2) and a draining base (3), the electrical cooking appliance (2) comprising a vessel (10) provided with a draining device (60) that has a valve (61), the draining base (3) comprising a draining receptacle (70) and a cover (80) for said receptacle, the receptacle cover (80) forming a passage (80a) for discharge of the cooking bath in the draining receptacle (70), said draining base (3) having a control member (4), and the cooking assembly (1) having a draining configuration in which the draining base (3) supports the electrical cooking appliance (2) and in which the control member (4) moves the valve (610 into the open position. According to the invention, the electrical cooking appliance (2) rests on the receptacle cover (80) when the cooking assembly (1) is in the draining configuration.

A versatile kitchen appliance for electrically frying and simultaneously producing a plurality of plantain pieces, while manually shaping them into flat or basket-shaped fried, by exchanging removable trays, and pressing the plantain slices placed in a frying oil container, thereby creating fried, pressed plantain slices that are flat, or otherwise basket-shaped for further stuffing with other food fillings such as meat, seafood, cold meats, fruit.

An easy handling and installable fryer for cooking materials in an electric-field carrying space includes an oil pot base including an oil pot having an inner surface at least partially being a metal plate, and a metal mesh basket placeable in and out of the pot. The base includes a pot fastener that allows the basket to be placed in the pot without electricity conduction to the inner surface, and a conductor including a conducting electrode on an upper portion of a pot surface opposing a handling side, and insulated from the inner surface that conducts an alternating current to the basket in the pot. The basket includes a basket fastener that allows, with the pot fastener, the basket to be placed in the pot without electricity conduction to the inner surface, and an electricity receiver that receives electricity from the electrode and conducts electricity to the mesh basket metal.

Various embodiments provide a method of frying. A method includes heating frying oil to a frying temperature and maintaining the frying oil at the frying temperature for a frying period. During the method no part of the oil exceeds 220° C. A system for using the method of frying includes a pot for holding a frying oil, a heating element for heating the frying oil, and a jacket surrounding the heating element. The jacket prevents direct contact between the frying oil and the heating element. The jacket is configured to uniformly distribute heat produced by the heating element within the pot such that the frying oil has less than 10 area % polymers at the end of heating and maintaining the frying oil at a frying temperature for a frying period.

An air inlet device of an air fryer, which has a heating chamber, includes an upper housing, and an upper cover disposed above and covering the upper housing. The upper cover and the upper housing cooperatively define a flow guide channel therebetween. The flow guide channel has an air inlet opening for entry of air into the air inlet device, and a chamber entry opening located inwardly of the air inlet opening for flowing of the air into the heating chamber. The flow guide channel has a curved shape from the air inlet opening to the chamber entry opening.

An apparatus for preparing food is provided, and includes a food chamber sized to receive at least one food item, a cutting structure configured to cut the at least one food item when pressed into contact therewith, an impeller for impelling the at least one food item into contact with the cutting structure, a liquid chamber for storing a liquid, a heating system for heating the liquid, and a liquid introduction system in communication with the liquid chamber, the liquid introduction system being operable to introduce at least one of a liquid mist and a liquid spray in the food chamber.

An apparatus for preparing food is provided, and includes a food-receiving chamber sized to receive at least one food item, a cutting structure configured to cut the at least one food item when pressed into contact therewith, an impeller for impelling the at least one food item into contact with the cutting structure, an oil chamber for storing oil, a heating system for heating the oil, and an oil introduction system in communication with the oil chamber, the oil introduction system being operable to introduce at least one of an oil mist and an oil spray in the frying chamber.

A smoke evacuating fryer, comprising a fryer body, an exhaust vent, a lid engaged on the fryer body, and a frying basket and a smoke evacuating and filtering apparatus provided within the fryer body An air intake gap is provided at a location where the lid and the fryer body are joined. The smoke evacuating and filtering apparatus is provided on the fryer body (1) and abuts against the frying basket. Air introduced into the air intake gap is passed over the frying basket, filtered by the smoke evacuating and filtering apparatus and then discharged via the exhaust vent.
