Description

  The present invention relates to a cooking utensil and tableware in which an object to be cooked is housed in a bowl body and can be easily cooked particularly in a microwave oven.

  Conventionally, a microwave oven is known as a device that can easily heat food, and is widely used. This microwave oven irradiates a food containing water with microwaves to polarize water molecules to create electric dipoles, and to vibrate or rotate them to generate frictional heat between the molecules to generate the heat. Is used to heat food. Recently, cooking objects to be cooked in a microwave oven is widely performed, and various containers for cooking in a microwave oven are provided.

  If you put a lotus in the main body of the bag and put it on the lid, it will be convenient for storage, and it is also useful when heating in a microwave oven. However, when a lotus is placed in a conventional round bowl and covered with a conventional round lid, an unnecessary gap is left and the lid and the lotus are unstable.

  In general, ceramic pots do not generate heat, but take away heat from the cooked food. If the bowl itself can generate heat, cooking will be completed faster. For example, when instant noodles for one person are cooked by the cooking method of each manufacturer, considering the process of boiling water, it takes about 10 minutes to complete cooking. However, if cooking can be started at the same time as heating the water, cooking time can be shortened. Although there is a microwave oven as a method of heating water or an object to be cooked, the effect can be further obtained if the container body generates heat by microwaves.

  When a conventional round lid is covered with a conventional lid, the steam that escapes cannot be released. In order to escape steam during cooking, a means for allowing steam to escape from the main body or the lid is required. However, if the shape of the lid is changed, it is difficult to use as tableware, so it is necessary to process the bowl body.

  In general, dry foods (such as instant noodles) that are deep-fried with dry oil have the property of floating in water, so simply putting water and dry foods (such as instant noodles) in the bowl body will dry it. Some of the food (such as instant noodles) will come out above the surface of the water, causing boiled unevenness. In order to prevent boiled unevenness, it is necessary to prevent dried foods (such as instant noodles) from floating when cooking is started.

  The present invention provides a cooking utensil and tableware that is provided with a groove-shaped notch from the upper surface opening inside the bowl body in order to fix the lotus and the lid, and can be covered with the lid with the lotus being placed in the notch. I will provide a.

  When the ceramic raw material is mixed with a metal oxide such as iron oxide and baked, the microwave absorption and heat generation can be promoted when the baked ceramic is heated in a microwave oven.

  However, when the iron oxide content of the ceramic raw material is less than 2% by weight, the effect of microwave absorption and heat generation cannot be obtained, and when the iron oxide content is 16% by weight or more, it is difficult to mold the ceramic. From 15% by weight is preferred.

  There is the above-mentioned method for promoting the absorption and heat generation of microwaves in the cocoon body, but the same effect can be obtained by spraying or coating iron oxide. During normal ceramic manufacturing process, iron oxide is sprayed or coated, applied with a glaze, and baked to prevent the iron oxide from peeling off, resulting in a heating element.

  By providing one or a plurality of groove-shaped notches downward from the upper surface opening inside the bowl body, a gap is created between the bowl body and the lid, so that steam generated during cooking can be released.

  レ ン Hold the grip of the lotus with the main body and lid, hold dry food (immediate noodles etc.) from above using the weight of the lotus usually made of ceramics, and hold dry food (immediate noodles etc.) in water A way to do this is conceivable.

  Since a lotus can be placed on the main body in a stable state and covered with a lid, stability can be improved during cooking in a microwave oven, easy to store in a cupboard, etc., and easy to store in a refrigerator It becomes.

  Microwave absorption and heat generation can be promoted by using ceramics containing 2 to 15% by weight of iron oxide in the cocoon body and baked.

  By spraying or applying iron oxide to the main body, it becomes possible to adjust the amount of heat generated by microwave irradiation, and the spraying area and coating area can be changed arbitrarily. Moreover, since it is thermal spraying or application | coating, it can comprise iron oxide in arbitrary parts, for example, it is possible to the arbitrary part of the inner surface of a cocoon body, an outer surface, and the whole surface.

  By providing a gap between the main body and the lid, steam generated during cooking can be released immediately, and even when the temperature drops, the outside air can be taken into the main body to prevent adhesion.

  乾燥 Put dry food (instant noodles, etc.) and water into the 丼 body, place a lotus root in the notch in the 丼 body, cover it with a lid, and press the dried food (instant noodles, etc.) from above with a microwave oven to heat in the microwave. When cooking, the action of astragalus can keep dried food (such as instant noodles) in the water from the start of cooking and cooking without boiled irregularities is possible.
