Regeneration household machine for regenerating packaged cooked and subsequently cooled to chilled, ambient or frozen temperatures portions of food and method carried out by said machine
The technical problem at the basis of the present invention is that of providing a regeneration household machine which is capable of regenerating packaged cooked and subsequently cooled to chilled, ambient or frozen temperatures portions of food allowing high organoleptic properties of the food not to be destroyed as well as a sure food safety level to be obtained in a way extremely simple for the consumer. The invention concerns a regeneration household machine for regenerating packaged cooked and subsequently cooled to chilled, ambient or frozen temperatures portions of food. The machine comprises at least one compartment adapted to receive, preferably when it is empty, at least one packaged cooked and subsequently cooled to chilled, ambient or frozen temperatures portion of food to be regenerated and at least one conduit for feeding a heating fluid into said at least one compartment, heating means being provided at said at least one conduit in order to heat said heating fluid at a desired temperature depending on the recipe of the food of said at least one packaged cooked and subsequently cooled to chilled, ambient or frozen temperatures portion of food. The machine further comprises recognition means for recognising the recipe of the food of a specific packaged cooked and subsequently cooled to chilled, ambient or frozen temperatures portion of food inserted into said at least one compartment and a control unit which automatically sets said machine to operate with a predetermined heating cycle depending on the recipe of said specific packaged cooked and subsequently cooled to chilled, ambient or frozen temperatures portion of food.
