  An embodiment of a cooking container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this.

<Embodiment>
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the cooking container 1 includes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped container body 10 having a rounded rectangular opening 20 at the upper end, an insole 12 laid inside the container body 10, The lid body 14 is configured to close the opening 20 of the container body 10.

  The cooking container 1 is used for steaming cooking the food to be cooked by placing the food to be cooked on the upper surface of the insole 12 and heating the container main body 10 with the lid body 14 covered by the microwave oven. Used for.

  The container body 10 is made of heat-resistant glass, and has side walls 24 (a front side wall 24f, a rear side wall 24b, a front side wall 24f, a rear side wall 24b, The left side wall 24l and the right side wall 24r) are erected from the bottom wall, thereby forming a rounded rectangular opening 20 along the horizontal direction at the upper end.

  A container handle 26 extending in the left direction and the right direction is formed on the left edge portion 25l and the right edge portion 25r, which are upper end surfaces of the left side wall 24l and the right side wall 24r, respectively. Therefore, the user can easily carry the container body 10 by grasping the container handle 26.

  On the front side wall 24f and the rear side wall 24b, there are thin-walled portions 28 in which the outer surfaces of the front side wall 24f and the rear side wall 24b are scraped off in a scale shape toward the inner side of the container body 1 from the lower side toward the upper side. A plurality are formed along the left-right direction.

  For this reason, as for the front side wall 24f and the rear side wall 24b, the thickness of the part in which the thin part 28 is formed becomes thin as it goes to the upper side from the lower side.

  On the front edge portion 25f and the rear edge portion 25b, which are the upper end surfaces of the front side wall 24f and the rear side wall 24b, a curved portion 30 that is curved so that the upper portion of each thin portion 28 sinks slightly downward is formed. Hereinafter, the front edge portion 25f, the rear edge portion 25b, the left edge portion 25l, and the right edge portion 25r are collectively referred to as a container edge portion 25.

  For this reason, the front and rear edge portions 25f and the rear edge portion 25b of the container body 10 are formed with a plurality of irregularities that undulate in the vertical direction along the horizontal direction.

  The lid body 14 is made of silicone, is formed in a dome shape, and has a structure in which no water vapor escape hole is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a peripheral edge portion 32 that circulates along the outer periphery of the lid body 14 at the lower end portion of the lid body 14 is formed flat and abuts against the container edge 25 of the container body 10.

  On the inner side of the peripheral portion 32 of the lid main body 14, ribs 34 are erected along the peripheral portion 32 so as to be slightly smaller than the opening 20 of the container main body 10.

  For this reason, the rib 34 can prevent the lid main body 14 from being displaced laterally with respect to the container main body 10 when the lid main body 14 is placed on the container main body 10.

  Further, since the water droplets that have flowed through the inner wall of the lid main body 14 flow down into the container main body 10 along the ribs 34, the lid main body 14 can prevent the water droplets from flowing out of the cooking container 1.

  The insole 12 is flexible and is made of a soft resin, such as silicone, like the lid main body 14, and is slightly smaller than the bottom wall 22 of the container main body 10 and extends in the lateral direction as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5. A flexible plate portion 36 having a plate shape with sides and a leg portion 38 projecting downward from the plate portion 36 and abutting against the bottom wall of the container body.

  On the lower surface of the plate portion 36 (FIG. 5), leg portions 38 are erected along the left-right direction with a predetermined interval in the front-rear direction. That is, it is formed in a plurality of bowls substantially parallel to each other at intervals.

  An insole handle 40 is formed in the direction in which the leg portion of the plate portion 36 extends, that is, the right end portion. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the user can easily pull out the insole 12 from the container body 10 toward the right direction which is the long side direction by grasping the insole handle 40.

  Thus, the insole 12 can prevent the food to be cooked from coming into direct contact with fluids such as moisture, fat, water, etc. generated by cooking the food to be cooked in advance for steam cooking.

  The plate portion 36 has through holes 42 penetrating through the plate portion 36 in the vertical direction over the entire surface of the plate portion 36 at substantially equal intervals.

  For this reason, the insole 12 can quickly discharge the fluid generated from the cooked product to the bottom wall 22 of the container body 10 through the through hole 42.

  Further, since the bowl-shaped leg portion 38 is formed to be uneven along the left-right direction so as to wave in the up-down direction, the leg portion contacts the bottom wall in a number of points. For this reason, the insole 12 can be distributed almost uniformly over the entire surface through the recessed portion so that the insole 12 is discharged to the bottom wall 22 of the container body 10 and moisture is not collected at one place of the bottom wall 22. Thereby, the container 1 for cooking can steam-cook the to-be-cooked item uniformly with water, without heating only a part of the to-be-cooked item.

  Furthermore, after steam cooking is completed, the user throws out the fluid such as gravy, fat, moisture, etc. collected on the bottom wall 22 of the container body 10 to the outside of the container body 10, and places the cooking container 1 on the table of the table, By pulling out and removing the insole 12 from the container body 10, only the container body 10 made of heat-resistant glass can be placed on the table, and the appearance as tableware can be improved.

  Further, since the leg portion 38 is formed along the direction in which the insole 12 is pulled out, the user can easily pull out the insole 12 without hooking the leg portion 38 on the container edge 25 of the container body 10. it can.

  By the way, if the container body 10 is made of the same silicone as the insole 12, they are softer materials than glass, and the friction coefficient of the silicone surface is larger than that of the glass. It is thought that it is difficult to pull out from the container body 10 by being caught by the container edge 25 of the ten containers.

  On the other hand, in this invention, since the container main body 10 was formed with glass, the user can pull out the insole 12 made of silicone from the container main body 10 easily.

  In the above configuration, a plurality of curved portions 30 are formed from the left end portion to the right end portion on the upper end surfaces of the front edge portion 25f and the rear edge portion 25b of the container body 10. For this reason, when the lid main body 14 is placed on the container main body 10, the front edge 25 f and the rear edge 25 b of the container main body 10, and the peripheral edge 32 of the lid main body 14, etc. A gap is formed in the interval.

  Thus, since the plurality of curved portions 30 in the front edge portion 25f and the plurality of curved portions 30 in the rear edge portion 25b are formed symmetrically, a plurality of gaps formed in the front edge portion 25f and the rear The plurality of gaps formed in the edge portion 25b are arranged symmetrically.

  Thereby, when cooking is performed, the water vapor inside the container body 10 is released from the gaps, so that the water vapor may remain in one place inside the container body 10 or be released to the outside only from a part. Absent.

  Thus, since water vapor | steam is discharge | released outside substantially uniformly from each gap | interval inside the container main body 10, the container 1 for cooking is uniform over the whole, without heating only a part of to-be-cooked item. Can be cooked in the heat.

  In addition, if the container body 10 is not formed with the curved portion 30 and the container body 10 and the lid body 14 are sealed, the container body 10 and the lid are caused by thermal expansion of steam or the like generated from the cooked product. The internal pressure inside the main body 14 increases, and the lid main body 14 may be detached from the container main body 10 during cooking.

  On the other hand, when the curved portion 30 is greatly curved and the gap between the container body 10 and the lid body 14 is too large, the water evaporated from the cooked product is released excessively, and the cooked product is appropriately It will not be steamed.

  For this reason, the cooking container 1 is provided with a gap having a size such that the food to be cooked is appropriately steamed and the internal pressure inside the container main body 10 and the lid main body 14 does not increase excessively.

  Further, when the container body 10 is manufactured, after the glass is press-molded so that the thin wall portion 28 is formed on the front side wall 24f and the rear side wall 24b, the edge of the container is removed in order to remove the edge portion formed by press molding. Part 25 is beaten by the flame. At this time, the upper end portion of the thin portion 28 is deformed so as to sink because the glass is thin, and the curved portion 30 is formed in a wave shape.

  As described above, in the container body 10, the thin-walled portion 28 is provided on the front side wall 24 f and the rear-side wall 24 b having a predetermined thickness, and the container main body 10 on which the thin-walled portion 28 is formed is heated while improving the design. Since only the curved portion 30 can be formed, there is no need for a step of cutting the front edge portion 25f and the rear edge portion 25b into irregularities, and the work process can be simplified.

  In addition, since the lid body 14 is made of silicone made of a softer material than glass, the peripheral portion 32 of the lid body 14 is deformed to expand by the thermal expansion of the water vapor filled in the container body 10 and the lid body 14. To do. Accordingly, the cooking container 1 can easily release water vapor from the gap between the lid main body 14 and the container main body 10 to the outside.
