Device for cooking food with water

The innovation relates to a device for cooking food with water, in particular an egg boiler, with a heated one Water receiving tray and at least one matching cooking insert and / or lid provided with a handle as well as with a measuring device for measuring the water required for the cooking process.

In known arrangements of this type, the measuring device consists of a separate cup with suitable scales is provided. However, as experience has shown, such cups that are not connected to the device itself work easily lost, so that reorders are necessary, which is clearly a not inconsiderable effort

Means time and money. On the other hand, secure storage of the named measuring cup would not make it easier to use make it insignificantly difficult. These disadvantages have evidently led to the fact that in practice it is often used the mentioned water measuring cup was dispensed with, but what in turn affects the achievable work result.

It is true that arrangements have already been made in which a Scale is attached, which with a certain inclination of the lid the edge of the required for certain applications Referred to as the amount of water. However, the handling of an arrangement of this type has proven to be extremely cumbersome.

Proceeding from this, it is therefore the task of the present innovation while avoiding the disadvantages of the known arrangements to create a device of the type mentioned at the beginning with simple and therefore inexpensive means in which the Losing a measuring cup etc. is no longer to be feared and its measuring device is nevertheless easy and simple can be handled.

This object is achieved according to the invention in a surprisingly simple manner in that the handle of the Lid and / or the cooking insert is designed as a measuring device. The handle of the Lid and / or the cooking insert can be provided with at least one cup-shaped measuring chamber. The one for education The cavity provided for the measuring chamber and closed with respect to the water-receiving tray is brought about at the same time an excellent thermal insulation of the handle provided with it, which also improves handling in this regard.

A particularly preferred embodiment can therein exist that the lid provided with a handle is designed as a unitary shell component in which between the measuring chamber provided in the handle and the rest of the cover shell is simply drawn in a partition.

It has proven to be particularly useful if the capacity of the measuring chamber according to the innovation is at least corresponds to the maximum amount of water required for a boiling process.

Another advantageous measure can be that the outer jacket of the provided with a measuring chamber Handle is designed as a scale carrier. The entire outer circumference is therefore advantageously located here of the handle is available as a scale carrier, so that it is advisable to arrange several scales next to one another who can easily be accommodated.

Further features and advantages of the innovation emerge from the following description of an exemplary embodiment based on the drawing in conjunction with the claims.

Here show:

Figure 1 is a view of an electric egg cooker in the cooking position and

Figure 2 is an inside plan view of the removed cover.

The egg boiler shown in Figure 1 consists of an electrically heated water receiving tray 1, which by a bowl-shaped cover 2 that fits thereon can be covered. At the top of the water receiving tray 1 is an in Figure 1 only shown in dashed lines with insert 3

_ 4 - ■■

Recesses (not shown) for receiving the eggs to be boiled can be inserted. The removable cover 2 and the removable insert 3 are provided with matching handles 4 and 5, respectively. During operation, it is in the water receiving tray 1 introduced a certain amount of water, the amount required to evaporate this amount of water Time corresponds to the desired cooking time. For the exact dosage of those to be taken up in the water receptacle 1 According to the innovation, the amount of water can be the handle 4 of the cover 2, or the handle 5 of the insert 3, or but also both handles 4 and 5 can be designed as a measuring device for measuring the required water. The result Completed integration of this measuring device in the egg cooker shown ensures that it is lost the measuring cup etc. used in the prior art is not to be feared.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, as can best be seen from FIG. 2, the handle 4 of the cover 2 is simple provided with a measuring chamber 6 which is closed with respect to the rest of the cover shell 7. This is shown in the Exemplary embodiment simply a partition 8 projecting slightly inward here is provided. An arrangement of this kind makes it possible to design the cover 2 with the handle 4 as a uniform shell component. The through the partition 8 brought about closure of the measuring chamber 6 with respect to the rest of the cover shell 7, which is acted upon with hot steam during operation at the same time results in a good shielding of the handle 4 against the application of steam, so that practically no excessive heating is to be feared. The partition 8 is expediently placed so that the capacity the measuring chamber 6 thus separated from the cover shell 7 is at least the maximum required for a cooking process Amount of water, i.e. the amount of water required for the "hard boiling" level when insert 3 is fully occupied «

The side jacket 9 of the measuring chamber 6 formed here by an edge flange formed on the flat measuring chamber floor is expediently designed as a scale carrier, as indicated at 10 in FIG. The scope of the handle 4 integrated measuring chamber 6 offers sufficient space to arrange several scales next to one another in an advantageous manner to be able to, for example, a scale for each desired degree of hardness.

A preferred exemplary embodiment of the innovation is explained in more detail above, but without this being a restriction should be connected. Rather, there are a number of options available to the person skilled in the art to general Adapt ideas of the innovation to the circumstances of the individual case.
