DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an egg boiler for a microwave oven, which is used, for example, for preparing soft-boiled eggs by a microwave oven.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an egg boiler for a microwave oven of this type, an open container made of synthetic resin capable of storing egg yolk and egg white obtained by breaking the eggshell of raw eggs, and an opening portion of the open container can be fitted. A lid made of a synthetic resin is known, and the open container body stores the yolk and egg white obtained by dividing the eggshell of raw eggs, and the yolk and egg white stored in the open container body have a toothpick or the like. , Holes are formed in several places, and the lid is fitted to the open container body, placed in a microwave oven in this fitted state, and heated for a predetermined time, whereby a soft-boiled egg is completed.

[0003]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional structure, although the requirement for enforcement is urged, the yolk and the egg white are heated without making any holes, the number of holes is small even if they are made, and the quality is high. If the hole is closed or the heating time is a little too long, the lid and the contents may splatter, and the lid may collide with the top plate in the microwave oven. There is a disadvantage that there is.

[0004]

The object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.
The invention according to claim 1 is an opening container made of synthetic resin capable of storing egg yolk and egg white obtained by dividing the eggshell of raw eggs, and a lid made of synthetic resin that can be fitted into the opening of the opening container. The egg boiler for a microwave oven, wherein the lid is provided with a piercing rod capable of piercing into the yolk and egg white stored in the open container body.

[0005] The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that a vapor vent hole is formed in the lid according to claim 1, and the invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that Alternatively, a knob concave portion is formed on the surface of the lid according to the second aspect of the present invention.

[0006]

1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes an open container, which is made of synthetic resin such as polypropylene having a heat-resistant temperature of 140 ° C and a cold-resistant temperature of -20 ° C. Manufactured in heat-resistant synthetic resin into a half eggshell shape, the capacity is 110 ml suitable for storing egg yolk and egg white W obtained by dividing the eggshell of one raw egg, the upper part is formed in the opening 1a, and the lower part is a table. A mountable seat portion 1b is formed,
The whole is used as it is as an edible container and is formed into a shape for eating a soft-boiled egg.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a lid, which is made of a heat-resistant synthetic resin such as polypropylene in a substantially half-shell shape, similarly to the above-mentioned open container body 1, and has a peripheral flange 2a formed on the lower peripheral edge thereof. The fitting peripheral flange 2a is formed so as to be fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the opening 1a of the open container body 1.

Reference numeral 3 designates a squeezing rod, which is formed integrally with the lid 2 so as to hang down at a central portion thereof, and which protrudes to a length which can squeeze into the yolk and egg white W accommodated in the open container body. Is formed. In addition, an uneven non-slip portion can be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the pushing rod 3, whereby the association between the yolk and egg white W and the pushing rod 3 can be enhanced.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a vapor vent hole, two of which are formed through the cover 2 and a pair of knob recesses 5 are formed in the surface of the cover 2.

Since this embodiment has the above configuration,
Egg yolk and egg white W obtained by dividing the eggshell of one raw egg into the open container body 1 are stored, and several holes are opened in the yolk and egg white stored in the open container body 1 with a toothpick or the like, and the open container body 1 is opened. The lid 2 is fitted and placed in a microwave oven in this fitted state,
For example, by heating for a predetermined time of about 30 seconds to 60 seconds, a soft-boiled egg is completed. At this time, several holes are erroneously opened with a toothpick or the like in the egg yolk and egg white stored in the open container body 1. The yolk and egg white W in which the intruding rod 3 is accommodated in the open container body 1 by fitting the lid 2 even if the hole is not provided, the number of holes is small even when the hole is opened, or the heating time is slightly too long. As a result, the rush rod 3 pierces the hole, and the semi-ripened egg yolk and egg white W cling to the rush rod 3, so that the lid 2 is prevented from flying high. Can be settled to the extent that it opens, and thus the safety of microwave cooking can be improved.

Further, in this case, since the steam vent hole 4 is formed in the cover 2, steam accompanying microwave cooking can escape well, so that a good soft-boiled egg can be produced and the open container body 1 can be produced. And the lid 2 is not so hot,
Further, since the knob concave portion 5 is formed on the surface of the lid 2, the lid 2 can be easily pinched by a finger, and
Can be easily opened and closed.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the shapes and structures of the open container body 1 and the lid 2
The shape and the like of the rod 3 are appropriately changed and designed.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the yolk and egg white obtained by dividing the eggshell of one raw egg into the open container body are stored in the open container body. Drill several holes in the egg yolk and egg white with a toothpick or the like, cover the open container body with a lid, put it in a microwave oven in this fitted state, and heat for a predetermined time, so that a soft-boiled egg will be completed. However, at this time, even if mistakenly made holes in the egg yolk and egg white stored in the open container body with a toothpick or the like, or even if the number of holes is small, even if the heating time is slightly too long, Since the intruding rod is inserted into the yolk and albumen housed in the open container body by fitting the lid, the intruding rod forms a hole and the semi-ripened egg yolk and egg white are gathered into the intruding rod. With, the lid splatters high for this : It is inhibited, subsided to the extent that the lid is opened, thus can improve the safety of the microwave cooking.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since a steam vent hole is formed in the lid, steam accompanying microwave cooking can escape satisfactorily to produce a good soft-boiled egg. In addition, since the opening container body and the lid body are not so heated, and in the invention according to the third aspect, the lid body is formed with a knob recess, the lid body can be easily held by a finger. It can be picked up and the lid 2 can be easily opened and closed.

As described above, the intended purpose can be sufficiently achieved.
