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 23):
An apparatus for preparing food, comprising:\n a food preparation chamber; a heating device; a pan including a pan bottom providing a pan surface area for receiving food to be prepared, side-walls at least partly surrounding the pan surface area, and a mounting connector for mounting the pan inside a food preparation chamber of an apparatus for preparing food, wherein the pan bottom is provided 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 ; and an air movement device configured to create 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 food preparation chamber is provided by container surfaces, which at least partly enclose a receiving volume provided for receiving the pan with food to be prepared by a through-streaming of hot air; wherein the air movement device provides a circulating air flow streaming through the food preparation chamber; wherein the heating device is configured to heat the air flow provided by the air movement device; wherein the pan is arrangeable within the receiving volume in the air flow of hot air; and wherein the apparatus is configured for preparing food arranged on the pan by a twofold heating mechanism including:\n convection directly via the hot air provided as a hot air passage by the through-holes; and \n conduction provided by the pan structure heated up by the stream of hot air.
