Description

Ham cooking container. The subject of the invention is a container for cooking ham or the like

Ham cookers are known in which they are under spring pressure Mold plates act on the ham, while the lid of the container by screws is clamped. As is well known, however, an expansion of the occurs during cooking Meat a. When using such cookers, the meat fibers tear, while the ham fat squeezed to one side and part the consommé is squeezed out.

This evil is supposed to be caused by the. Invention can be remedied.

The invention solves the problem of creating a ham cooker, during the cooking process and the associated increase in volume no pressure is exerted on the ham, so that the ham is neither bruised learns that the meat fibers are still tearing. That way, too The nutritional value and smoothness of the food are significantly increased.

The ham cooker according to the invention is essentially characterized by däß above and below the meat to be cooked inside the container an insert plate provided with holes is loosely inserted, whereupon the lid is loose is placed on the container. Preferably, both are insert plates that one appropriately a curly shape so that it looks your ham as much as possible adapt, completely identically designed, so that each of the same for both the others as well as for the upper end of the cooked item can be used.

In the drawing, for example, the invention is in a middle Longitudinal section illustrated.

The cooking container a provided with handles h has a curved base b in which there is a screw connection c; d, and d. are the insert plates provided with holes e; f is the container lid, g is the handle attached to it. A ham in your cooking container a i. is drawn in dotted.

The container is expediently made of sheet iron and inside and enamelled outside.

The cooking container is used in the following way: achdem one of the insert plates is placed on the bottom b of the container a, z. B. a ham i, which is first preformed in the approximate shape of the container slowly pushed into the container. The shank is so far into the Ham pressed in so that the lower surface of the ham is completely on the lower insert plate d, rests. A waste from leftover pieces of the knuckle is thus created when cutting open not here. Because the air in the stove is completely depressed of the ham would make impossible, i. the The screw connection c on the container bottom b must be opened. Is the ham ok? into the container a pressed in, the screw connection c closed again and the upper insert plate d, when placed, the ham has the shape of the cooker a at the side and below and above the shape of the insert plates dl and d .. assumed. Finally, the lid f attached loosely. In the cooking process that now follows, the ham has enough Scope for expansion; the meat fibers are not torn, and the ham fat lies evenly under the rind around the ham. The overflowing Läett passes through holes e in the top plate d. and collects over it on, so (ate it can be easily removed after cooling. So it is during during cooking, no pressure is exerted on the ham, since it does so when the volume increases finds enough room to expand.

After the cooking process has ended, the screw connection c can be opened and the ham can be easily ejected with the help of a wooden stick or the like. You can also keep the cooked ham in the container a for a long time, because the fat layer that forms on top of (learn the ham over the insert plate d2 hermetically seals the contents of the container and prevents the ham from spoiling protects.

Although the new container is primarily intended for cooking ham it can also be used advantageously for cooking other types of meat Find.
