Abstract:
An apparatus, pan and method for the preparation of food with hot air including a pan bottom providing a pan surface area for receiving food to be prepared, and side-walls at least partly surrounding the pan surface area, and a mounting connector for temporarily mounting the pan inside a food preparation chamber of an apparatus for preparing food. The pan bottom is provided with a plurality of through-holes as a hot air passage. The through-holes cover approximately 3 to 50% of the flat pan surface area and the heat capacity per area of a bottom surface of the pan bottom is between 10 and 75 JK −1  dm −2 .

Claim (Index 32):
A method for preparing food with hot air, the method comprising acts of:\n providing food on a pan including a pan bottom with a plurality of through-holes as a hot air passage; wherein the through-holes cover approximately 3 to 50% of the pan surface area; and wherein a heat capacity per area of a bottom surface of the pan bottom is between 10 and 75 JK \u22121  dm \u22122 ; positioning the pan in a food preparation chamber; providing an air movement device configured to create a through-streaming of hot air in the food preparation chamber through an air flow that is vertically oriented downward streaming in outer circumferential portions of the food preparation chamber and is vertically oriented upward streaming though the pan; wherein the through-streaming of hot air is provided as a hot air passage through the plurality of through-holes; and wherein heat is applied to the food in a twofold manner:\n convecting heat directly via the hot air via the plurality of through-holes; and \n conducting heat by the pan structure that is heated up by the stream of hot air.
