Description

The present invention relates to a method for boiling rice for home use without putting hands into cold water and by opening and closing the lid a minimum number of times.

Traditionally, the common method of washing rice is to put rice and water in a bowl or pot, stir it by hand, and then discard the water until the water becomes almost transparent. One method is to put rice and water in a container and shake it (for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3).

On the other hand, the present invention is a special method of boiling rice by putting rice and water in a container, draining the water, and then shaking the rice, which consists of a transparent main container and a bottom lid. This rice sharpener has a structure in which the upper surface of the main container has porous holes for drainage, a funnel for pouring water, and a water and air guide pipe at the end of the funnel. After opening the bottom lid of the container, putting in the desired amount of rice and closing the bottom lid, the container is turned over and water is poured into it from the funnel part on the top surface. The first water you use to scrub rice is called encounter water, and it is said that it is best to throw it away all at once after about 10 seconds. Therefore, shake the container a little and then immediately drain the water.If the water inside the container is at atmospheric pressure and not at negative pressure, all you have to do is turn it over and the water will drain out all at once.

To provide a structure in which anyone can easily perform drainage, water injection, and shaking multiple times as a series of operations from the same upper surface without opening and closing a lid.

Patent Document 1 discloses that the "main container 1," the "outer lid 5," and the "inner lid 6" are the "main container 101," the "hole formed in the upper surface of the main container 101," and This corresponds to the ``funnel shape formed in the main container 101'', and the method of pouring rice and water into the main container and shaking it to strain the rice, and draining the water through the ``inner lid 6'' is different. It is necessary to open and close the ``outer lid 5'' and ``inner lid 6'' of the ``main container 1,'' which has an opening at one end, each time you drain the rice, drain the water, or pour in washing water. has a mesh structure and is used exclusively for draining, whereas the present invention is a rice scrubbing method according to the method described in [0003] and [0004] above.

Patent Document 2 discloses that the "main body 1," the "lid 2," and the "drainage lid 3" respectively correspond to the "main body container 101," "the hole formed in the upper surface of the main container 101," and " The funnel shape formed in the main container 101 corresponds to the method of rinsing the rice by shaking and draining the water through the ``drainage lid 3'', but the method of rinsing the rice and draining the water and draining the washing water through the ``drainage lid 3'' is common. Every time water is poured, it is necessary to open and close the ``lid 2'' and ``drainage lid 3'' of the ``body 1,'' which has an opening at one end, and the ``drainage lid 3'' is used exclusively for draining water. , In contrast, the present invention is a method of scrubbing rice according to the method described in [0003] and [0004] above.

Patent Document 3 discloses that the "cylindrical main body 1," the "lid 2," the "cap 3," and the "filter 10" are the "main body container 101" and "the hole formed in the upper surface of the main body container 101" in the present invention, respectively. ”, and “funnel shape formed in the main container 101”, but the method of rinsing the rice by shaking and draining water through the “drainage lid 3” is common; It is necessary to open and close the ``Lid 2'' and ``Cap 3'' of ``Main Unit 1'', which have openings at both ends, every time water is drained or flushed, and ``Lid 2'', which is fully open, is not left open. It is difficult to inject water or drain water from small openings, and the "filter 10" is a net-like device used exclusively for draining water. In contrast, the present invention provides a rice scrubbing method according to the method described in [0003] and [0004] above. It is.

Traditionally, rice was washed by placing the rice in a bowl or pot and rinsing the water by hand, which caused problems such as spilling rice when discarding the water, and rough hands when working with cold water in winter. be. In addition, there is a problem in that it is not possible to drain the water quickly, which is important in rice polishing. The present invention is a rice washing method that does not require people who are concerned about the above-mentioned matters to directly put their hands in water, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for cooking delicious rice.

The present invention uses the following means to solve the problem. That is, a water/air guide pipe is provided at the upper end of the container 101 and has a hole through which rice grains do not pass for draining water, and a funnel-shaped opening for introducing water, and the lower end is engaged with the bottom cover 100. A rice sharpener consisting of a cylindrical body container structure with a threaded or mating shape. At the tip of the water/air guide pipe, there are multiple holes sized to allow water to pass through well, but not to allow rice grains to pass through. The container 101 is turned over, the required amount of rice is put in, the bottom cover is engaged, and the container 101 is set up by turning it over. Water is poured directly into the container 101 from the funnel-shaped mouth. Water flows from the hole at the tip of the water guide/air guide pipe to form a water flow to the hole in the upper surface, allowing rice grains to meet and be exposed to water with less bias. Then, by turning the container 101 upside down, the dirty water is drained from the hole in the upper surface, but as the drainage progresses, air flows in through the water and air guide pipes to prevent negative pressure inside the container 101, thereby maintaining atmospheric pressure inside the container 101. This allows water to be drained all at once. After that, since the rice grains are covered with moisture, they are shaken and the rice grains rub against each other, which removes dirt and bran from the surface of the rice grains. After that, the washing water is poured into the funnel and the water overflows through the hole in the top surface to replace the water, and when the washing water becomes clear to a certain extent, the rice scrubbing ends. All you have to do is remove the bottom lid 100 and pour the water into the pot, and water can be put in and taken out without opening or closing the lid.

The container is transparent to some extent, and there are lines indicating the quantities of 1, 2, and 3 cups. Further, the container 101 and the bottom lid 100 are sealed with a packing member to prevent water from leaking. The structure for sealing may be screws, sealing by surface engagement, or attachment/detachment of a fastening structure with one click.

1. The taste of rice changes depending on the way you sharpen it, so with this rice sharpener and method, anyone can quickly and easily perform a series of tasks such as sharpening the rice, draining the water for washing, draining the washing water, and shaking the rice. , the bran on the surface of the rice is quickly removed before the rice grains absorb the bran components, resulting in delicious rice that does not have a bran odor.
2. Since rice is polished by shaking the rice exposed to water in a rice sharpener, there is no problem of nail polish etc. peeling off because hands are not wet.
3. The rice measuring scale is marked on the outer circumferential surface of the container body, so you can use it even if you do not have a measuring device for rice or water.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the entirety of the present invention and water guide/air guide pipes. It is a perspective view illustrating adding rice in the rice scrubbing procedure. It is a perspective view illustrating pouring water with the bottom cover attached in the rice scrubbing procedure. FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating draining the rice scrubbing liquid during the rice scrubbing procedure.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the rice sharpener 110 according to the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a rice sharpener having the basic structure of the present invention, and the basic structure is as shown in FIG. A transparent cylindrical body container 101 with an opening at one end is provided with a bottom lid 100, a water guide/air guide pipe 103, and a packing part/fastening part 107 for sealing and engaging the bottom lid 100 and the main body container 101. Configure. A funnel-shaped spout 102 is provided on the upper surface 105 of the main container 101, and a water/air guide pipe 103 is provided at the tip of the funnel-shaped spout 102. A plurality of holes 108 are provided at the tip of the water/air guide pipe. Further, a scale line 106 is displayed on the side surface of the main container 101. In FIG. 2, the bottom lid 100 is opened and a desired amount of rice 201 is poured into the main container 101 which has been turned upside down. Fig. 3 shows that after covering with a bottom lid 100, it is turned over and tap water 202 is poured from a funnel-shaped spout 103, passes through a water conduit, becomes a water flow 203 at the bottom, flows down the side of the container, becomes a water flow 204, and then flows through a hole in the top surface. Water 205 overflows from 104 and flows as washing water for rice grains.

Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the draining of the rice scrubber 110, in which the entire rice scrubber 110 is turned over and the rice scrubber 110 is drained from the holes in the top surface, but if the rice scrubber 110 is to be drained all at once, negative pressure will be created in the cavity of the container. Since there is an inflow of air 208 from the water and air guide pipes, the hollow portion maintains atmospheric pressure 210 and the drainage does not stop. The water that comes into contact with rice is the source of yellowing and odor, but it removes the rice bran and dirt all at once. After this, the rice polisher 110 is shaken so that the rice grains rub against each other, thereby removing dirt and bran from the surface. After that, as shown in Figure 3, water is poured into the funnel-shaped mouth to wash the rice grains, and the water is allowed to overflow from the hole 104 on the top surface, and then the rice grains are turned over and the water can be drained all at once as shown in Figure 4. . When this operation is repeated multiple times and the water becomes clear, rice scrubbing is complete, but with the rice scrubber of the present invention and the method using it, there is no need to open and close the lid during the process, and the rice scrubber can repeat the series of operations. How to sharpen rice.

The packing part/fastening part 107 is desirably capable of attaching and detaching the main body container 101 and the bottom cover 100 with a certain degree of watertightness, and can be formed with a screw or the like, or can be completed with a groove shape that can be attached and detached with one click.

When shaking, adding washing water and shaking the main container up and down and left and right makes the container heavy, and the water resists, making it difficult to sharpen the rice grains. This invention proposes a method of draining a certain amount of washed water, such as meeting water, and then shaking it to sharpen the rice. This is because the water resistance disappears and the rice grains come into contact with each other, but by trapping the water in the rice grains, the rice grains collide with each other moderately, and it is thought that it is unlikely that the rice grains will break. Traditionally, the method of polishing rice was to put rice and water in a bowl or pot, mix the water into the rice by hand, discard the water, and then rub the rice grains together by hand.
