TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a heating cooker provided with a roaster function for baking food such as meat and fish using an IH cooking heater, a fish roaster, a heating range, or the like used in a kitchen such as a general household.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a roaster section of this type of heating cooker has a configuration shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 31 denotes a conventional heating cooker main body, in which a roaster part 32 is arranged. Upper and lower heating means 34 and 35 composed of a sheath heater and a miraclon heater are provided in the cooking chamber 33 of the roaster section 32 at the top and bottom, and a grill 37 on which the food 36 is placed is connected to the upper and lower heating means 34 and 35. Located between. Further, a saucer 38 for receiving oil falling from the food 36 is provided below the grill 37. Reference numeral 39 denotes a heating coil of an IH cooking heater that cooks on the upper surface.
[0003]
In such a configuration, in the roaster section 32, a food 36 such as meat or fish is placed on a grill 37, and both sides of the food 36 can be simultaneously grilled by the upper and lower heating means 34 and 35. The cooking can be automatically terminated. In order to prevent the inside of the refrigerator from being stained by oil or the like falling from the food 36, a receiving tray 38 is provided detachably.
[0004]
Further, the pan 38 is ignited when oil falls into the lower heating means 35, and is further filled with water in order to prevent the oil from falling into the pan 38 and continuing the ignition, and to prevent the generation of oil smoke. That is common. Further, a sheathed heater or a Milacron heater is used for the upper and lower heating means 34 and 35, and the surface of the heater is extremely high. Therefore, the roaster section 32 incorporated in such a heating cooker main body 31 needs a large height (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-described conventional configuration, dirt attached to the cooking chamber 33 after baking fish or the like can be removed and washed with respect to the saucer 38 and the grill 37, but oil and juice scattered on the wall surface in the cooking chamber 33 can be washed. It is necessary to put hands directly into the cooking chamber 33 and wipe off dirt with a cloth or the like. However, the sheathed heater and the Milacron heater used for the upper and lower heating means 34 and 35 are fixed in the cooking chamber, so that they are in the way and are very difficult to clean. In the past, there were heaters that could be attached and detached, but it was difficult only to attach and detach the portion having the electrical contacts, and this was removed from the viewpoint of safety.
[0007]
In addition, a sheathed heater or a Milacron heater is used for the upper and lower heating means 34 and 35, and the surface of the heater is extremely high. Therefore, when oil falls on the lower heating means 35, ignition occurs or oil smoke is generated. . Further, it is generally watered to prevent it from falling into the tray 38 and continuing the ignition, and to prevent the generation of oily smoke. However, the water in the tray 38 deprives the heater of the lower heating means 35 of the amount of heat during cooking, and reduces the heating efficiency because the water is warmed. In addition, there is also a problem that low-temperature steam rises from the warmed water to give water to the cooked food, and the heat is removed, so that the grill is sweet, watery and delicious.
[0008]
In addition, since the space for placing the upper and lower heating means 34 and 35, the tray, and the surface of the heater are extremely high, it is necessary to provide a space for the grill 37 on which the food 36 is to be placed to some extent so as to prevent uneven grilling. There is also a problem that space for the space is limited and it cannot be made large. That is, the roaster unit 32 cannot be used to bake large and tall foods.
[0009]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and improves the cleanability of the cooking chamber 33 which can be cleaned in a clean state, prevents ignition without watering, reduces the generation of oily smoke, It is an object of the present invention to provide a heating cooker that can effectively use the space in the cooking chamber 33 to perform delicious cooking and that can improve safety and cooking performance.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

And a housing for accommodating the cooking utensil, the cooking chamber, and the superheated steam generation apparatus, wherein the cooking utensil is provided with a spout for discharging superheated steam provided on a wall surface of the cooking chamber. Approximately or substantially fitted with the diaper, and can be freely attached and detached.
[0011]
Thus, the placing utensils can be removed together with the placing utensils after cooking, and there is no obstruction to the cleaning in the cooking chamber. Therefore, it is possible to easily clean the cooking chamber and provide a cooking chamber that is always clean and has no odor.
[0012]
Further, by using the superheated steam for cooking, the temperature does not need to be set at 500 to 700 degrees like the surface temperature of the conventional heater. Therefore, oil does not ignite even if oil drip from the food.
[0013]
In other words, the water that has been stretched so that the ignition does not continue becomes unnecessary, which leads to energy saving without using extra heating energy, and the wateryness is eliminated and the food can be deliciously cooked.
[0014]
In addition, the cooking chamber is also provided with only the mounting equipment, and large food can be baked in a limited cooking chamber.

[0024]
【Example】
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0025]
(Example 1)
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a housing of a heating cooker, 2 denotes a superheated steam generator, and a water tank 3 and a water supply device 5 for sending water from the water tank 3 to the steam generator 4 and further heat the generated steam. And a control device 7 for controlling them. The housing 1 has a cooking chamber 9 having a placing device 8, and a cooking object 10 is placed on the placing device 8 and cooked. On the wall surface 11 of the cooking chamber 9, there is provided an outlet 12 for jetting the superheated steam generated by the superheated steam generator 2 into the cooking chamber 9. The ejection port 12 functions in a state of being substantially close to or substantially fitted to the mounting device 8. In the present embodiment, the ejection port 12 also serves as a fitting portion B14 that can be attached to and detached from the fitting portion A13 of the mounting device 8. The spout 12 is designed to emit superheated steam when fitted. The purpose of the fitting is to send the superheated steam generated by the superheated steam generator 2 to the mounting device 8. Therefore, although the configuration in which the fitting portions A13 and B14 enter each other is reliable, the configuration is not limited to this.
[0026]
For example, the fitting portions A13 and B14 are opposed to each other in a state of being close to each other, and although there is some leakage, superheated steam can be sent. Naturally, a configuration is considered in which the mounting / dismounting of the mounting device 8 is performed by a fitting guide portion 21 described later, or can be performed at a place different from the fitting portions A13 and B14 although not shown. In the embodiment, the structure is simple, and when the fitting portion A13 is inserted into the spout 12, the packing 15 that closes the spout 12 from outside the cooking chamber 9 is pushed open. Normally, the packing 15 is provided on the side opposite to the cooking chamber 9 and is pressed against the wall surface 11 by the pressure of the superheated steam. The mounting device 8 includes a container 16 and a grill 17. The superheated steam entered from the fitting portion A13 of the mounting device 8 heats the food 10 from the container 16 through the grill 17. The cooking chamber 9 is fluorine-processed so as to be hardly stained. It may be made of an adhesive material such as Teflon (R). Reference numeral 18 denotes an exhaust port through which the supplied superheated steam becomes excess and goes out of the cooking chamber 9.
[0027]
19 is a door for taking in and out the food 10. In the embodiment, the glass 20 is fitted in the door 19 so that the state during cooking can be seen. Reference numeral 21 denotes a fitting guide for guiding the placing device 8 easily into the cooking chamber 9. Although not shown, the set can be easily set simply by pushing along the guide groove provided on the lower wall surface 11. The fitting guide portion 21 can be easily removed from the mounting device 8 and the height and the like can be adjusted. Usually, the food 10 is put in and out using only the grill 17. Even if the door 19 and the grill 17 or the door 19 and the mounting device 8 can be taken out together, the effect of the present invention is not changed. Normally, it is easier to use it together with the door 19. In the cooking room 9, it is possible to cook grilled fish, grilled chicken, grilled chicken, pizza and the like. Generally, this cooking device is called a roaster or a grill.
[0028]
Next, the operation will be described using the grilled fish as the food 10. First, the door 19 is opened, the grill 17 of the placing instrument 8 is pulled out, and raw fish prepared with a seasoning is placed on the grill 17. After that, it is set in the container 16, the door 19 is closed, and the superheated steam generator 2 is operated. Then, the superheated steam is sent from the water tank 3 to the steam generator 4 by the water supply device 5. Here, the steam becomes steam, enters the steam heating device 6, and becomes superheated steam of an arbitrary temperature by the control device 7, and exits from the jet port 12. The superheated steam is sent to the mounting device 8 and spouted from the grill 17 to be heated and cooked so as to wrap the food 10.
[0029]
Normally, when baking fish, the temperature of the superheated steam is set at 250 ° C to 300 ° C. The food 10 is heated so as to be enveloped by the superheated steam. Any scorching can be applied.
[0030]
Oil, juice, and the like discharged during cooking accumulate in the container 16 and can be washed later. When the cooking is completed, the door 19 is opened and the grilled fish together with the grill 17 is taken out and served on a plate for eating. The grill 17 is directly washed in a kitchen or the like. After a certain period of time has passed and the cooking chamber 9 has cooled down, the remaining container 16 of the placing device 8 is pulled out. Since it is only fitted, it can be easily taken out, and the rest is only washed. Cleaning of the cooking chamber 9 can be easily performed because there is no obstacle inside. This is because the heating source is made of superheated steam, so that there is no electrical contact so that the heating source can be detached. By using the detachable mounting tool 8 as a heating source by using superheated steam for heating, the maintenance property in the cooking chamber 9 which has been a problem so far can be remarkably improved.
[0031]
Next, another effect of using the superheated steam in the detachable mounting device 8 will be further described.
[0032]
Since it is not heated to a high temperature such as 500 to 700 degrees like a heater, it is not necessary to keep a distance from the food 10 and wasteful space can be eliminated. Also, even if the oil falls during cooking, the ignition temperature of the oil is about 350 degrees, so there is no fear of ignition and the generation of oil smoke is reduced. As a result, there is no need to provide a container 16 containing water below the conventional food, and it is not necessary to take extra heating energy for warming the water, thereby saving energy. As a matter of course, the taste is no longer watery as described above, and the cooking performance, which has been an issue so far, is significantly improved.
[0033]
(Example 2)
In FIG. 2, the mounting device 8 has a hollow portion 22 and a plurality of discharge holes 12 communicating with the hollow portion 22, and has a configuration in which the mounting device 8 is divided. Therefore, compared with the open grill 17, the superheated steam hits the food 9 more strongly and can be efficiently heated, thereby improving the taste. In addition, since the mounting device 8 itself is heated by the superheated steam, heat is transmitted to the cooking object 10 by conduction, so that the cooking object 10 is easily browned and the baking performance is improved. The reason for the division is that the oil that has entered the hollow portion 22 can be separated when the oil is washed, thereby facilitating the washing.
[0034]
(Example 3)
In FIG. 3, since the corrugated uneven portion 23 is provided on the surface of the mounting device 8, the direction of the discharge hole 12 is not constant, and the superheated steam hits the food 10 from various directions. Since there is a gap between the mounting devices 8, the superheated steam discharged from the discharge holes 12 diffuses and spreads over a wide range. As a result, uneven grilling can be prevented and the taste can be further improved.
[0035]
In addition, since the oil from the food flows from the protrusion 24 to the recess 25 and accumulates, the food does not become oily.
[0036]
(Example 4)
In FIG. 4, by forming a through-hole 26 not communicating with the hollow portion 22 in the concave portion 25 of the mounting tool 8, oil from the cooked food can be dropped. If it accumulates in the recess 25 of the mounting device 8, some oil smoke will inevitably occur, but if it is dropped down, it can be reduced very much. Of course, laying down kitchen paper etc. makes it easier to clean later.
[0037]
(Example 5)
In FIG. 5, since the opposite side of the fitting portion A13 of the mounting device 8 is branched, it is not necessary to take out together with the divided upper side of the mounting device 8 when only putting in or taking out the food. There is an advantage that it can be easily taken out.
[0038]
(Example 6)
In FIG. 6, since it is constituted by the divided hollow portion 22 and the open / close valve 27 provided in each of the hollow portions 22, the discharge range of the superheated steam from the mounting device 8 can be changed. Since a range suitable for the food 10 can be selected, energy-saving cooking without waste can be performed. For example, when only one horse mackerel is to be grilled, one open / close valve 27 is closed, and superheated steam is emitted only from the place where the horse mackerel is mounted for cooking. In the present embodiment, the number of the fitting portions A13 is two for explanation, but there is no problem even if only one. Only one opening / closing valve 2 is required if the passage is switched.
[0039]
(Example 7)
As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of fitting portions B14 are provided in the cooking chamber 9. In the embodiment, a plurality are provided in the height direction. Although two fitting portions B14 are provided for the mounting device 8 in the embodiment, there is no limitation. For example, there may be three or four, and even one is not limited in shape such as a horizontally long shape or an ellipse. Since the space in the cooking room 9 is the same, the height of the placing device 8 can be changed according to the size of the food. For example, if the food 10 is small and has a small thickness, setting the mounting device 8 on the upper side allows the superheated steam to wrap around more quickly and less heats up an extra space, so that more efficient cooking can be performed and delicious and energy saving can be achieved. Things.
[0040]
(Example 8)
As shown in FIG. 8, by providing a plurality of placement devices 8, the food 10 can be sandwiched between the placement devices 8. The superheated steam can be applied from above and below, and the food 10 can be cooked so as to wrap it evenly than one time, and the taste is improved.
[0041]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the first to ninth aspects of the present invention, a cooking chamber having a cooking product mounting device, a superheated steam generator, and a housing for accommodating them are used to effectively use superheated steam. The cooking utensil has a body, and the cooking utensil is configured to be freely attachable and detachable to and from a fitting portion also serving as a superheated steam outlet provided on the wall surface of the cooking chamber. It is possible to remove the entire appliance and remove any obstructions to the interior of the cooking chamber and to easily clean the interior of the cooking chamber, thereby providing a cooking chamber that is always clean and has no odor.
[0042]
In addition, by using the superheated steam for cooking, even if oil drip from the food, the oil does not ignite. In other words, the water that has been stretched so that the ignition does not continue becomes unnecessary, which leads to energy saving without using extra heating energy, and the wateriness is eliminated, so that the cooking performance can be remarkably improved.
[0043]
In addition, the cooking chamber also requires only a mounting device that also serves as a heating source, and a large food can be baked in a limited cooking chamber.
[0044]
As a result, careability, cooking performance, and safety of the cooking device are greatly improved.
