A shaft on which an annular groove is formed and a chamfered portion is formed, and a material processed portion which is divided into two along the longitudinal direction and each half is fixed to the other end of each half of the handle. And the other half of the shaft is fitted with a shaft hole of the other half of the handle so that the top surface of the engaging projection is aligned with the chamfered portion, and then is fitted to one half of the handle. On the other hand, by rotating the other half of the handle, and finally engaging the engagement projection in the annular groove, In which the other half of the handle is set to be not be removed from the other half of the shaft.

[0006] Preferably, two chamfered portions of the other half of the shaft are provided at 180 ° symmetrical positions. Furthermore, preferably, a chamfered portion orthogonal to the chamfered portion of the other half is formed on a surface of one half of the shaft, and a beveled projection is formed on the chamfered portion, and the half of the shaft is When the chamfered portion is pushed into the shaft hole of one half of the handle so that the chamfered portion matches the top surface of the engagement projection, the sloped projection gets over the engagement projection and finally engages with the engagement projection. By the combination, one half of the shaft does not fall out of the shaft hole, and the chamfered portion and the top surface of the engaging projection come into contact with each other, so that one half of the shaft does not rotate in the shaft hole. It is characterized by doing so.

[0007]

According to the above arrangement, if the respective halves of the handle are rotated relative to each other to form an angle of 90 °, the engaging projection of the shaft hole of the other half of the handle is formed on the chamfered portion of the other half of the shaft. Since the top surfaces coincide, the other half of the handle can be easily removed from the other half of the shaft,
As a result, the entire cooking utensil including the material processing section (foaming section or the like) can be washed by being divided into two parts. Accordingly, scouring and the like reach the inside of the material processing portion, so that it is very easy to wash and dirt is easily removed.

The chamfered portion of the other half of the shaft is 180
° If two symmetrical positions are provided, each half of the handle will be 360 °
