DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooking utensil used for cooking fruit vegetables, and more particularly to a cooking utensil for removing onion roots and hulls.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, to cook onions,
It is usually used after cutting off the bud part on the upper part of the onion and the root part on the lower part of the onion, but the part of the continuation of this also cuts the taste of the dish, so these parts are cut off Is common. In that case, use a kitchen knife, etc.
First, the excess roots and buds are cut horizontally, then the body is vertically divided in half, and the root core is removed in a triangular pyramid-like shape. Therefore, the process of removing the root and bud portions of the onion is extremely complicated.

[0003] Further, after removing the root and bud portions, the unnecessary brown hull of the onion must be peeled off. However, it is difficult to peel it off with a kitchen knife, and it is usual to peel it off by hand. difficult. Furthermore, if the onion is not cooked quickly, it will cause irritation to the eyes and tears will come out.

[0004]

[Object] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can quickly remove the onion root portion,
In addition, you can easily peel off the unnecessary outer skin of the onion, and you can also scrape the skin of carrots and burdock,
It is another object of the present invention to provide a cooking appliance having these functions in a single appliance.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The gist of the present invention is to provide a tongue-shaped blade having an arc-shaped cross section at an end of a grip portion.
A vegetable cooking appliance characterized in that at least one side of the tongue-shaped blade is a blade with an arc-shaped bulge. Further, the other of the tongue-shaped blade portions is a substantially linear blade.

The object to be cooked according to the present invention is mainly onion, which will be mainly described. However, the present invention is not limited to onion, and other vegetables and fruits in general, that is, fruits and vegetables are generally applied. The tongue-shaped blade portion of the cooking utensil according to the present invention having an arc-shaped cross section first has an arc-shaped cross section orthogonal to the front-rear direction of the tongue-shaped blade portion. This tongue-shaped blade is provided at the end of the grip. The tongue-shaped blade and the gripper may be formed of a single common hollow pipe.

The tongue-shaped blade is formed by bending a flat blade into an arc shape in the longitudinal direction or by forming the end of a hollow pipe in a tongue shape. A blade having an arc-shaped bulge is formed on at least one side of the tongue-shaped blade. Of course, a blade having an arc-shaped bulge may be provided on both sides, or one side may be provided with an arc-shaped bulge and the other blade may be substantially linear. The gripper includes a plate, a rod, a pipe, and the like.

[0008] The shape of these blades and the arc-shaped bulge are not particularly limited, and may be any shape suitable for cooking fruit and vegetables. Moreover, the curvature of the arc of the cross section of the tongue-shaped blade is not particularly limited as long as it is a shape suitable for cooking fruit and vegetables. That is, in the case of cabbage and lettuce, the curvature is large, and in the case of strawberries and cherry tomatoes, the curvature is small. Therefore, the cooking utensil main bodies having different sizes depending on the target are prepared.

Further, the tongue-shaped blade may be detachably attached to the end of the hollow pipe or the holding portion made of wood or resin, and the attaching and detaching method may be inserted or screwed. Any method may be used as long as it can be safely and easily attached and detached. Then, in order to prevent the hand from slipping during use, a slip stopper such as rubber may be provided at the gripping position, or a grip having a polygonal shape may be used.

[0010]

Since the cooking utensil of the present invention is constructed as described above, the tip of the tongue blade is obliquely stabbed from the periphery of the onion root to the center and the onion or the cooking utensil is turned so that the root portion is formed. Can be resected almost conically. The reason why the blade can be turned in this way is that the tongue-shaped blade has an arc-shaped cross section, so that the blade is guided by the arc and proceeds.
Further, the blade of the tongue-shaped blade also has an arc-shaped bulge, so that the blade can be easily cut.

[0011] In addition, if one side of the tongue-shaped blade is hooked on the edge of the outer shell of the onion where the root portion is removed and becomes a hole, and pulled down from the root toward the bud, that is, in the longitudinal direction of the onion body, the outer skin is obtained. Peels off. Further, the straight blade on the other side of the tongue-shaped blade portion can scrape the skin of carrots, burdock, and the like.

[0012]

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a cooking utensil according to the present invention,
Reference numeral 2 denotes a grip, 3 denotes an end, and 4 denotes a tongue-shaped blade provided at the end 3 of the grip 2. The grip part 2 and the tongue-shaped blade part 4 are constituted by one common hollow pipe.

The cross section of the tongue-shaped blade 4 is arc-shaped (FIG. 4) so that the tongue-shaped blade 4 can be easily turned. The tongue-shaped blade 4 has a straight blade 5 for cutting the buds 92 of the onion 9 and scraping the epidermis such as carrots and burdock, and cutting off the root 91 of the onion 9 and each onion. There is provided a bulging blade 6 for peeling off.

FIG. 6 shows a configuration in which a locking portion 10 is provided so that the end 3 provided with the tongue-shaped blade portion 4 can be detached. In the embodiment, a centering blade 7 for centering an apple or the like and a centering outlet 8 are provided.

[0015]

As described above, the cooking utensil of the present invention simply inserts the tip of the tongue blade obliquely from the periphery of the onion root toward the center and rotates the onion or the cooking utensil.
By the action of the arcuate cross section of the tongue blade, the blade goes around the root,
The root portion can be easily cut into a substantially conical shape by one rotation. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform several steps to remove this portion as in the conventional case, and the onion can be cooked without waste.

In the cooking utensil of the present invention, since the tongue-shaped blade has an arc-shaped bulge on one side, the arc-shaped bulge of the blade is easily hooked on the edge of the outer skin of the hole from which the root has been removed. And by pulling it down together, it was possible to easily and quickly peel the skin and thereby finish the cooking before the eyes were irritated. In addition, when removing the brown skin that remains around the buds, make a cut at the tip of the tongue blade in the discolored part, hook the arc-shaped bulge of the tongue blade here, and put it together By pulling it down, the outer skin of this portion can be easily peeled off as described above.

Furthermore, the skin of a carrot or burdock can be scraped with a straight blade for cutting off the root portion. The present invention, as described above, has been described with onions, but it can be applied to any fruits and vegetables that have portions that are not edible and are removed like onion roots. With the above, cooking for preparation of fruits and vegetables is easy to do,
Since the equipment to be used can also be used for dual purposes, it is easy to manage the cleaning and storage after use.
