Description

The present invention relates to a water level measuring instrument for rice cooking.

Conventionally, when cooking rice, which is an example of cereals, if 5 go of rice is to be cooked, put 5 go of rice into a rice cooking container (for example, a rice cooker), and add 5 go to the rice cooking container. Add water to the memory and cook.

However, the amount of water contained in grains before cooking rice varies depending on the season, the environment during cooking such as temperature, and the rank and type of grains.
Therefore, even though 5 cups of rice is put into the rice cooking container and the rice is cooked by adding water up to the memory of 5 attached to the rice cooking container, the rice is cooked unevenly due to knots and temperature changes.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and enables the user to cook rice with grains to a hardness that satisfies the user, regardless of the environment during cooking and the rank and type of grains. The purpose is to provide a water level measuring instrument for rice cooking.

(1) A rice-cooking water level measuring instrument for measuring the water level in a rice-cooking container for cooking grains,
a measurement unit with a memory indicating the distance from one end;
a base part formed in a plate shape and having one surface connected to one end side of the measurement part,
one end side of the measurement unit is connected to the base portion and erected from the one surface;
The base portion is placed on the grain put into the rice cooking container from the other side,
A rice-cooking water level measuring instrument, which is installed in the rice-cooking container containing grains and water, and is capable of measuring the height from the top of the grains to the surface of the water.

According to the configuration (1), the rice-cooking water level measuring device is installed in the rice-cooking container containing grains and water. Specifically, the base is placed on the grain from the other side. Then, the measuring section is erected from one surface of the base section. In this state, the user reads the memory of the measurement unit where the water surface is located. Then, the grains are cooked, and, for example, if the cooked grains are hard, the amount of water is adjusted so that the water surface is higher than the memory read last time when the rice is cooked next time. Also, at this time, the user reads the memory of the measuring section where the current water surface is located.
Then, when the grains are cooked and the cooked grains are satisfied with the hardness, the memory position is stored, and the next time the water level is adjusted so that the water surface will be at this memory position. This time as well, you can cook the grains to a firmness that you are satisfied with.
Therefore, it is possible to provide a rice-cooking water level measuring instrument that enables a user to cook rice to a hardness that satisfies the user, regardless of the environment during rice cooking and the rank and type of the grain.

(2) the measuring section has an engaging section that engages with the base section at one end side;
The base portion has a holding portion for holding the engaging portion on one surface,
By engaging the engaging portion with the holding portion, the holding portion and the base portion are united,
The rice cooking water level measuring instrument according to (1), wherein the holding portion and the base portion can be separated by releasing the engagement between the engaging portion and the holding portion.

According to the configuration of (2), the measurement section and the base section can be combined when used, and can be separated from the base section when stored, so that compact storage is possible.

(3) The water level measuring instrument for cooking rice according to (1) or (2), wherein the base portion is formed with a base hole penetrating from one surface to the other surface.

According to the configuration of (3), since the base hole is formed in the base part, water can be inserted into the base hole when the rice cooking water level measuring instrument is installed in the rice cooking container filled with grains and water. Since it passes through, it becomes easier to sink to the top surface of the grain.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a rice-cooking water level measuring instrument that enables a user to cook grains to a level of hardness that satisfies the user, regardless of the environment during cooking and the rank and type of the grains.

FIG. 2 is a view showing a state in which a rice-cooking water level measuring instrument according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed in a rice-cooking container containing grains and water; BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS It is a perspective view of the rice-cooking water level measuring instrument which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is an enlarged view of the junction part of the measuring part and base part in the water level measuring instrument for cooking rice which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a rice-cooking water level measuring instrument according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same or similar configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are omitted or simplified.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which a rice-cooking water level measuring instrument according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed in a rice-cooking container containing grains and water.
The rice-cooking water level measuring instrument 1 includes a measuring part 10 and a base part 20 for supporting the measuring part 10, and measures the water level of water W put into a rice-cooking container 100 for cooking grains R.

A measuring part 10 and a memory M indicating a distance from one end side are attached, one end side is connected to the base part 20, and erected from one surface of the base part 20. - 特許庁The memory M is represented, for example, by a plurality of lines at 1 mm intervals. Also, the memory M may be given a number that increases in order from one end.

The base part 20 is formed in a plate shape when viewed from above, one end of the measuring part is connected to one surface, and the other surface is placed on the grain R put into the rice cooking container 100 .

With such a configuration, the rice-cooking water level measuring instrument 1 is installed in the rice-cooking container 100 containing grains R and water W, and can measure the height from the top of the grains R to the water surface of the water W. .

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a rice cooking water level gauge according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the joint portion between the measuring portion and the base portion in the water level measuring instrument for cooking rice according to one embodiment of the present invention.

The measuring section 10 is formed in a plate shape and has a through hole 11 formed on the other end side and an engaging section 12 that engages with the base section 20 on the one end side. The measurement unit 10 is, for example, shaped like rice when viewed from the front.

The through-hole 11 is for inserting a user's finger when the rice cooking water level measuring instrument 1 is installed, or for hooking it on a hook or the like when storing it.

As shown in FIG. 3, the engaging portion 12 is formed of a shaft-like member having a rectangular cross section.
