Oil discharge roast pan and cooking device having same
View Patent ↗A cooking device includes a heating unit and an oil discharge roast pan mounted to the heating unit. The oil discharge roast pan includes a pan body, a plurality of oil discharge holes extending through top and bottom surfaces of the pan body, and a plurality of protrusions protruding downwardly from the bottom surface.
1. A cooking device, comprising:
a heating unit; and
an oil discharge roast pan mounted on the heating unit to be heated up by the heating unit, the oil discharge roast pan comprising a pan body, a plurality of oil discharge holes extending through top and bottom surfaces of the pan body, and a plurality of protrusions protruding downwardly from the bottom surface;
wherein the pan body further comprises a plurality of food support portions which are spaced apart from each other to cooperatively define the oil discharge holes;
wherein the protrusions are disposed under the food support portions; and
wherein each of the protrusions tapers downwardly from the bottom surface and has a side that is adjacent to one of the oil discharge holes in an inclining manner, so that the protrusions are adapted to collect a large quantity of grease drippings flowing through the oil discharge holes.
2. The cooking device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusions and the food support portions are integrally formed with the pan body.
3. The cooking device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protrusions are arranged in multiple rows, and the protrusions in each row are linearly disposed under one of the food support portions.
4. The cooking device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the oil discharge roast pan further comprises a mounting rib disposed under the bottom surface of the pan body and connected to the food support portions;
the mounting rib is defined with a mounting groove that extends along a length direction of the mounting rib and that has an opening facing downwardly; and
the heating unit comprises a heating member that extends along the mounting groove and that is embedded in the mounting groove.
5. The cooking device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each of the mounting rib and the mounting groove is U-shaped.
6. The cooking device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the protrusions has a top side edge adjoining a boundary of one of the oil discharge holes.
7. The cooking device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each of the protrusions has a hemispherical, conical, or pyramidal shape.
8. An oil discharge roast pan, comprising a pan body, a plurality of oil discharge holes extending through top and bottom surfaces of the pan body, and a plurality of protrusions protruding downwardly from the bottom surface,
wherein the pan body further comprises a plurality of food support portions which are spaced apart from each other to cooperatively define the oil discharge holes,
wherein the protrusions are disposed under the food support portions, and
wherein each of the protrusions tapers downwardly from the bottom surface and has a side that is adjacent to one of the oil discharge holes in an inclining manner, so that the protrusions are adapted to collect a large quantity of grease drippings flowing through the oil discharge holes.
9. The oil discharge roast pan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the protrusions and the food support portions are integrally formed with the pan body.
10. The oil discharge roast pan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each of the protrusions has a top side edge adjoining a boundary of one of the oil discharge holes.
11. The oil discharge roast pan as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising a mounting rib disposed under the bottom surface of the pan body and connected to the food support portions, wherein the mounting rib is defined with a mounting groove that extends along a length direction of the mounting rib and that has an opening facing downwardly, and the mounting groove is configured for a heating unit to be embedded therein.
12. The oil discharge roast pan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the protrusions each have a cross-section gradually decreasing downwardly from the bottom surface.
13. The oil discharge roast pan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each of the protrusions has a hemispherical, conical or pyramidal shape.
14. The oil discharge roast pan as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each of the food support portions is formed between two of the oil discharge holes, and each of the protrusions has two opposite top side edges respectively adjoining the boundaries of two of the oil discharge holes.
15. The oil discharge roast pan as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the protrusions are arranged in multiple rows, and the protrusions in each row are disposed linearly under one of the food support portions at intervals.
