Method for making pots and pans, equipped with a multi-layer coating of non-stick material

Abstract

A method for making pots and pans, equipped with a multi-layer coating of non-stick material including the forming of multiple layers of coating of an inner surface of a wall delimiting a cooking cavity, performed by cyclical repetition of a step of applying suitable substances and subsequent drying and baking in an oven of said layers of substances applied, at least the final layer of said substances being obtained by using a non-stick substance. The method includes, before the step of applying the substance for forming at least the final layer coating the cooking cavity of the pot, a step of adding as an additive edible oil or grease to the liquid substance to be applied for forming said final layer.

Claims

1. A method for making pots and pans, equipped with a multi-layer coating of non-stick material, comprising: forming multiple layers of coating on an inner surface of a wall delimiting a cooking cavity by cyclical repetition of applying covering substances and subsequent drying and baking in an oven the multiple layers, wherein a final layer of the multiple layers includes a non-stick substance; adding edible olive oil to the non-stick substance by mixing in a liquid state before applying the final layer; wherein the non-stick substance is a plastic material.

2. The method according to claim 1, and further comprising adding the olive oil in a weight percentage of between 3% and 8%.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the plastic material is polytetrafluoroethylene.

4. The method according to claim 2, and further comprising adding the olive oil in a weight percentage of 5%.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the plastic material is polytetrafluoroethylene.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the plastic material is polytetrafluoroethylene.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) In accordance with that aim, the solution proposed consists of a production method whose technical features are clearly indicated in the claims herein, and whose advantages are more apparent in the detailed description which follows, with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a preferred embodiment by way of example only and without limiting the scope of the invention, in which:

(2) FIG. 1 is a schematic partial cross-section elevation view of a pot;

(3) FIG. 2 is an enlarged detail of the pot of FIG. 1;

(4) FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of several essential steps of a method for making a pot of the type illustrated in FIG. 1.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

(5) With reference to the accompanying drawings, in FIG. 1, the numeral 1 denotes a pot of the known type comprising a cooking cavity 2 provided with a thin coating 3 made of non-stick material having its own multi-layer structure.

(6) For the production of such a type of pot or pan equipped with a coating made of non-stick material for the cooking cavity 2, the Applicant applied a production method that comprises forming said coating 3 in multiple layers 4, 5 and 6, which are superposed and applied to the pot 1 one after another [FIG. 2].

(7) In practice, the inner surface 7i of the wall 7 of the cooking cavity 2 of the pot 1 is subjected to forming of the coating 3 which comprises [as schematically illustrated in FIG. 3] the cyclical repetition of a step of application of suitable covering substances, and a subsequent drying and baking in an oven of the substance applied, steps that in sequence are repeated several times, each time using the most suitable materials, depending on the number of layers desired for construction of the coating of the inner cavity 2 of the pot 1.

(8) Application of the covering layers may be performed with various methods, which in themselves are known, including, for example but without limiting, spraying or rolling of suitable liquid substances; or even methods for depositing covering powders.

(9) The invention described above is susceptible of evident industrial application. It may also be modified and adapted in several ways without thereby departing from the scope of the appended claims. Moreover, all details of the invention may be substituted by technically equivalent elements.

(10) In accordance with what is indicated above, it may be highlighted, more particularlyand still being explanatory and non-limitingthat the non-stick material used may be of various types, for example it may be plastic as happens when the non-stick material is in the families of polytetrafluoroethylenes (PTFE), or mineral if for example ceramic materials are used. A method for making pots and pans, equipped with a multi-layer coating of non-stick material, can include: forming multiple layers of coating on an inner surface of a wall delimiting a cooking cavity by cyclical repetition of applying covering substances and subsequent drying and baking in an oven the multiple layers; wherein a final layer of the multiple layers includes a non-stick substance; adding edible olive oil to the non-stick substance by mixing in a liquid state before applying the final layer. The method can include adding the olive oil in a weight percentage of between 3% and 8%. The method can include adding the olive oil in a weight percentage of 5%.
