ABSTRACT:
A cooking machine control system for controlling the consumption of fuel by cooking machines, including cooking machines of the type used in restaurant kitchens, such as gas/barbecue broilers, and home cooking machines such as grills, and gas flow valves usable in such cooking machine control systems. The cooking machine control system controls the flow of gas to the burners of the cooking machine to maintain the cooking surface of the cooking machine at an appropriate standby temperature when no food is being cooked, to bring the cooking surface to an appropriate cooking temperature for a predetermined period of time when food is being cooked, and then to return the cooking surface to the standby temperature. The cooking machine control system includes a first gas pipe which provides gas to each burner of the cooking machine at the standby level and a second gas pipe which in the standby mode is closed by a valve. When food is to be cooked, the valve is opened to provide gas to each burner at a rate sufficient to bring the cooking surface to the appropriate cooking temperature. Each of these gas pipes feeds the burners through a shut-off valve which has two inlets and a single outlet. During times when the burners are not in use, this shut-off valve can be closed to prevent gas flow from both the first and the second inlets from leaving the valve through the outlet.
