Metallic cooking container for cooking food using steam in a microwave oven

The invention relates to a metal cooking container with a metal lid and a water container for cooking food using steam in a microwave oven, the lid having a cover edge that overlaps the upper edge area of the water container and runs parallel to the edge of the water container, and the bottom of the cooking container has openings distributed over the surface.

A known design has a metallic

The invention is based on the task of designing a cooking vessel according to the generic term in such a way that it is possible | even without a projecting edge strip running all around | to prevent the metal cooking vessel from touching the

lapping, parallel to the upper edge of the container, the lower edge of the metal cover is raised. And that the upper inner part of it is designed in such a way that in order to keep the metal cover at a distance from the upper edge of the metal container, the metal cover can be supported in the area of its uppermost, all-round inner edge part, which is created by the vertical shaping of the downward-facing edge of the metal cover, on the upper edge of the water container.

The invention is illustrated by the single drawing in which the subject matter of the application is explained in more detail.

As can be seen from the drawing, the lower edge 11 of the downwardly directed edge region 5 of the metal lid 2 is raised so far that the upper edge 8 of the water vessel is essentially overlapped concentrically. In order to prevent electrical sparks from flashing over between adjacent metal parts (metal cooking container 1 and metal lid 2) when the cooking container is operated in a microwave oven, these parts are kept at a distance. For this purpose, a circumferential upper inner edge part 20 of the metal lid 2, which is formed when the downwardly directed edge region 5 is formed, interacts with the underlying upper edge 8 of the water vessel 3, on which the

Claims (1)

Claim for protection Metallic cooking container (1) with a metal lid (2) and a steam vessel (3) for cooking food using steam in a microwave oven, the lid having a lid edge (5) that overlaps the upper edge region (4) of the steam vessel and runs towards the edge region, and the base (6) of the cooking container has perforations distributed over the surface, characterized in that the lower edge (11) of the metal lid (2), which concentrically overlaps the upper region of the water container and runs parallel to the upper edge region (4), is raised and that the upper inner part (21) thereof is designed in such a way that, in order to keep the metal lid (2) at a distance from the upper edge (15) of the metal container (1), the metal lid is raised in the region of its uppermost, all-round inner edge part (20), which is formed by vertical projection/the downwardly directed edge. edge (5) of the metal cover^ at the upper edge (8) of the - üJasser vessel can be supported·
