A microprocessor controlled grill apparatus for simultaneous two-sided cooking of food items. The grill apparatus includes a stationary lower cooking platen, and an upper cooking platen which is raised and lowered by a unique linear actuator. This actuator provides for two distinct types and phases of movement The upper platen is lowered from its uppermost, angled open position first by an arcing movement which rotates the rear edge of the upper platen about a slide or thrust bearing and arcs the front edge of the upper platen downward until the upper platen is substantially parallel to but raised, or floating, above the lower platen and uncooked food. Next, the linear actuator lowers the upper platen toward the food, while keeping the upper platen horizontal and parallel to the lower platen. The microprocessor control of this apparatus allows the gap between the upper and lower platens to be calibrated to an extremely fine degree, which may be fixed or varied for preset cooking cycles for various standardized menu items, stored and accessed automatically.

La présente invention concerne un grilloir commandé par ordinateur pour la cuisson des aliments par les deux faces. Ce grilloir comporte une sole fixe (11) et une voûte (20) qui remonte et descend sous l'effet d'un actionneur (31) linéaire unique. Cet actionneur (31) s'abaisse depuis une position supérieure selon laquelle il se présente ouvert et incliné. Cet abaissement comprend d'abord un mouvement en arc faisant tourner la partie postérieure de la voûte (20) jusqu'à ce que la voûte (20) soit sensiblement parallèle, mais non relevée ou flottante au-dessus de la sole (11) et des aliments non cuits. L'actionneur linéaire (31) abaisse ensuite la voûte (20) vers l'aliment tout en maintenant horizontale et parallèle la voûte (20) par rapport à la sole (11). La commande par microprocesseur (43) de cet appareil permet de régler très finement l'intervalle entre la voûte (20) et la sole (10), lequel intervalle peut être fixe ou modulable en fonction de cycles de cuisson prédéfinis correspondant à divers plats habituels, les définitions de cycles étant conservées en mémoire et automatiquement réutilisées.
