Record 2 2011-08-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Refrigeration Engineering
DEF

The time required to reduce the temperature of a product or substance halfway between its initial temperature and the final temperature at the end of the cooling process.

CONT

The half cooling time measures the time that is taken to remove 50% of the heat from the apple. For example, if fruit temperatures are at 72°F in storage room at 32°F, the temperature difference between the fruit and final desired temperature is 40°F. A half cooling time of 8 hours means that it will take that time to reduce fruit temperatures by half this amount, i. e., 20°F, to reach a temperature of 52°F, and a further 8 hours to reduce fruit temperatures by 10°F to 42°F. In practice, we consider that it takes three half cooling times to "cool" a product.

Record 4 2002-07-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cooking Appliances
  • Hotel Equipment
CONT

New technology is set to invade the most important room in the house : the kitchen. Soon you’ll be able to throw out that ancient microwave and cook with a "flashbake" oven using photons, or units of electromagnetic radiation. This oven cooks food just like a conventional oven-cooking from the outside and browning food but in half the time. Appliances are also getting safer. A breakthrough called an induction stove focuses a magnetic field above the burner that boils water in 20 seconds, but will not burn anything else. Only the content of the pot become hot.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils de cuisson des aliments
  • Équipement hôtelier
CONT

La cuisinière à induction, c'est un peu l'arlésienne de l'électroménager : tout le monde en a entendu parler avec enthousiasme, mais personne - ou presque - n'en a vu. LA PRESSE lève un coin du voile. La table de cuisson à induction appartient à la famille des surfaces en vitrocéramique [...].
