Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for warming food without using fire, and is effective not only for heating pouch-wrapped retort foods and canned foods that are emergency foods, but particularly for efficiently steaming pregelatinized rice. The present invention relates to a cooking utensil using a catalytic cooking heat source capable of cooking.

  Conventionally, especially when a natural disaster occurs, electricity, city gas, and water in the lifeline cannot be used temporarily or in the medium to long term. For this reason, after a disaster, it becomes difficult to eat a daily meal or a warm meal using sanitary dishes. For example, in order to provide retorted food heated with hot water or the like in the event of outdoor activities or disasters, it was necessary to secure a heat source. Most of the heat source was fire, and from the viewpoint of safety, it was impossible to provide retort food to evacuees.

  In addition, most of the lime-catalyzed cooking heat sources (hereinafter also referred to as heating elements) that can obtain heat without using a commercially available fire for disasters, most of the containers provided are hot. It has been difficult to warm food to a sufficient temperature because sufficient ideas for effective utilization have not been made and most of the generated heat is dissipated to the outside (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, most of the containers attached to general heating elements are not stable, and it was extremely difficult to heat food under special circumstances such as when a disaster occurred. For example, emergency foods installed on ships do not include equipment such as gas stoves for heating, and it has been impossible to heat food.

  Further, most of the containers for cooking when using the heating element are plastic bags, and it is difficult to efficiently use the heating element (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  However, warm food is needed during outdoor activities and disasters. In addition, it is difficult to secure the heat source at the beginning of the disaster, and providing a warm meal is essential from the viewpoint of survival. Providing emergency food on a swaying ship is also essential for survival.

  Therefore, the present inventor has previously proposed a cooking utensil using such a heating element (see Patent Document 3). This cooking utensil is provided with a pocket into which a heating element enters below the inside of a box-shaped main body formed of a heat insulating material, and an inclined surface through which moisture condensed inside the main body flows down toward this pocket, and the upper surface of the pocket Is provided with a scono-like or net-like food receiving plate on which the food to be heated is placed, an openable lid on the top of the box-like body, and a thermal barrier coating on the inside of the body and lid. The heat generated can be used efficiently and safely.

By the way, when comparatively large-scale cooking is performed, it is necessary to prepare stocked foods such as alpha-rice for several tens of people so as to be edible, but a large amount of clean hot water is required. However, it is necessary to secure drinking water in refuges where the lifeline cannot be used, and it is desirable to be able to cook with as little water as possible.
In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention utilizes a catalytic cooking heat source that can make stored foods such as pregelatinized rice edible safely and efficiently with less water without using fire. The purpose is to provide cooking utensils.

  For this reason, the cooking utensil according to the present invention includes a heat-insulating housing having an open top surface, a heat-insulating lid that can be opened and closed on the top surface of the housing, and a water-permeable housing that is removably disposed on the housing. And the casing is formed into a steaming space portion including a receiving plate for a food to be heated and at least a double bottom structure in which a storage portion for a catalytic cooking heat source is vertically divided. Features. A second feature is that the housing is made of a net or punching metal.

The instrument according to the present invention has the following excellent effects.
(1) The heat generated from the catalytic heat source can be used efficiently.
(2) By making the material of the box and the lid made of foamed polypropylene, dissolution due to heat generation is prevented.
(3) A large amount of ingredients can be cooked at once by using the casing.
(4) By partitioning the middle of the housing, providing a food receiving seat on the upper side as a double bottom, and opening and closing the bottom plate below it, the heat source for catalytic cooking can be easily put in and out.

It is a disassembled perspective view which shows an example of the cooking appliance which concerns on this invention. It is a partially broken side view of the cooking utensil according to the present invention. It is a side view which shows typically the structure of the housing concerning this invention.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a cooking device according to the present invention. In order to place the food to be heated inside the bowl-shaped main body with a lid formed of a material having a heat insulating effect, the food receiving seat plate 4 having a sono-like or net-like shape is basically placed. By closing the lid, heat generated inside is prevented from escaping to the outside as much as possible.

  The lid body 2 covering the upper surface opening of the foamed polypropylene housing 1 is formed by injection molding of foamed polypropylene, like the housing 1, and the lower portion of the lid body 2 has a projecting portion 2 b for sealing the upper surface opening of the housing 1. Is formed. In addition, it is preferable to apply thermal barrier coating to the inside of the housing 2 and the lid 1 in order to maintain durability and heat retention performance.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the housing 3 having an open upper surface accommodated in the housing 1 is formed in a rectangular box shape so that the upper portion is opened and water permeability is provided by a metal mesh or punching metal. The whole is arranged to be detachable from the housing 2. A handle 3a is attached to both ends of the upper portion of the housing 3 so as to be raised and lowered. The casing 3 is divided into upper and lower portions by a receiving plate 4 (made of wire mesh or punching metal) of a steamed material 7 such as pregelatinized rice to be heated, and the steamed cooking space 9 and the catalyst in which the steamed material 7 is heated. It is formed in the double bottom structure which divided the accommodating part 10 of the type | system | group cooking heat source 6 up and down, and as shown in FIG. 3, the metal mesh and the bottom plate made from a punching metal similar to the said housing | casing 3 and the receiving seat plate 4 5 is attached so as to be freely opened and closed, and can be closed by engaging with the hook 3b.

  And the to-be-cooked thing 7 such as pregelatinized rice which is food is accommodated in the upper space (steamed cooking space) 9 of the casing 3, and the catalytic cooking heat source 6 is accommodated in the lower storage portion 10 as necessary. Put the number, put the housing 3 into the housing 2 storing water 8, and cover the lid 1. The amount of water is set such that the water level when the casing 3 is submerged is immersed in the entire catalytic cooking heat source 6.

  The permeated catalytic cooking heat source 6 gradually raises the temperature to generate water vapor. The generated water vapor fills the inside of the housing 2 and warms the food 7 placed in the cooking space on the food receiving plate 4 of the housing 3. Since the heat generation of the catalytic cooking heat source 6 continues for 10 to 15 minutes, almost all food items such as retort food can be processed and cooked. In particular, in pregelatinized rice, steaming with steam rather than heating by adding warm water not only provides a good taste, but also reduces the amount of water used.
