DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a thick pot capable of cooking oil with a lid.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Oil dishes such as fried food and tempura are not usually cooked with a pot covered. The reason is that water and oil components and shards (hereinafter referred to as water) that have evaporated and scattered from the food hit the lid or fall into the oil again, producing loud noises and giving anxiety, This is because water or the like adheres to the lid, and when the lid is removed, it falls into oil and is dangerous. Therefore, cooking is carried out with the lid removed, but this causes the oil to scatter around and is dangerous, and the surroundings are soiled and cleaning afterwards is difficult. It also ignites immediately when an earthquake or the like occurs.

As a solution to this problem, the present inventor has proposed:
A donut-shaped drainer ring suspended from the upper part of the pot body has been proposed (Japanese Patent No. 1929192). This drainer ring not only catches water and the like adhering to the lid so that it does not fall into the oil, but also acts to block the scattering of water etc. to the outside. Made oil cooking possible. As a result, the danger of oil cooking is reduced, and the surroundings are not soiled, which helps to improve the cooking environment.

In addition, when this draining ring is used for a thick pot, water or the like accumulated in the draining ring is re-evaporated at its own high temperature, and breaks a water seal formed at a contact portion between the lid and the pot body to break finely. As a result, the particles escape to the outside,
Water and the like do not accumulate in the draining ring, and it has an excellent effect of being very safe. Also, if you cook the oil with the lid in a thick pot, you can expect the secondary effect of steaming and frying, and the amount of oil is extremely small.

[0005]

As described above, this draining ring exerts a very excellent function in oil cooking, but it is used in the case of using ingredients with a high moisture content or in the early stage of cooking. Can accumulate considerable water.
Thus, there is some sound of evaporation during the evaporation. Therefore, in the present invention, a water collecting box is attached to a draining ring, and generated water or the like is temporarily stored in the water collecting box, and the sound is reduced by evaporating from one place.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a pot body made of a thick metal body, a vertical portion detachably mounted on an upper portion of the pot body, and a vertical portion. Has a horizontal portion that extends inward from
In a thick pot consisting of a draining ring and a lid closed to the pot body, a hole is made in a part of the horizontal part of the draining ring, and a water reservoir box is placed below this hole under the horizontal part. It provides a thick pot that is characterized by being present and installed below.

Further, according to the present invention, in the above configuration, the lateral portion of the draining ring is inclined downward toward the water collecting box .
Configuration, configuration in which the lower end of the water reservoir box approaches the bottom of the pot body
The lid has a transparent spherical part that covers the top of the pan body.
Than is to provide structure for each.

When the present invention employs the above means, the water or the like that has fallen into the draining ring falls from the hole into the sump box. Since the sump box is high in temperature in the pot body, water and the like dropped into the sump box are immediately evaporated.
Therefore, during this time, water and the like evaporate only from one place of the water reservoir box, so that the evaporation sound is small and the time is short.
In addition, the water and the like evaporated from the water reservoir box become fine particles, break through the water seal, and are radiated to the outside.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a thick pot showing an example of the present invention. The thick pot according to the present invention is spanned over a pot body 10 having a circular shape in plan view and an upper portion of the pot body 10. It is composed of a perforated disk-shaped drainer ring 12 and a lid 14 closed by the pot body 10. In this example, the pot body 10
A lid receiving portion 16 is formed on the upper portion of the upper portion, and the draining ring 12 is suspended from the lid receiving portion 16.

The pot body 10 has a recessed body portion 18 and is formed by laminating two to seven layers of stainless steel or other metal having good heat insulation and aluminum, copper or other metal having good heat conductivity, It is made of a thick single-layer metal body. still,
The lid receiving portion 16 is formed at an upper portion of the body portion 18 so as to protrude outward in a flange shape.

The draining ring 12 is made of a metal such as stainless steel or copper, or the same thick metal body as the pot body 10, and the like.
It is a perforated disk-shaped one comprising a vertical portion 20 and a horizontal portion 22. The vertical portion 20 is detachably hung on the inner peripheral side of the lid receiving portion 16 of the pot main body 10 so as not to disturb the closing of the lid 14, and extends along the body portion 18. It protrudes inward slightly upward. The drainer ring 12
The evaporation is promoted by catching the flow of the water droplets attached to the lid 14 by the lateral portion 22. Since the pot body 10 is made of the above-described material, the body 10 and the lid receiving portion 16 are formed.
As both are uniformly heated to a high temperature, the draining ring 12 is also heated to a high temperature, which further promotes this effect.

In addition, in addition to the one shown in the drawing, the draining ring 12 may be one in which the vertical portion 20 along the body 18 is lengthened to increase thermal conductivity, and the temperature is increased to further promote evaporation. It is also conceivable that some holes (not shown) are made in the vertical portion 20 at the level of the horizontal portion 22 so that the water and the like accumulated in the vertical portion 20 are transmitted down the body portion 18 and flow down little by little. In either case, the evaporation of moisture or the like accumulated on the horizontal portion 22 is further promoted.

Next, in the present invention, a hole 24 is made in a part of the draining ring 12, and a water reservoir box 26 is provided below. The sump box 26 is made of the same material as the drain ring 12, and its lower end extends downward as close as possible to the bottom of the body 18. The sump box 26 is configured such that water or the like collected on the lateral portion 22 of the drainage ring 12 is positively dropped on the horizontal portion 22 and evaporated from one place, thereby making it possible to evaporate from the entire surface of the drainage ring 12. This is to reduce the evaporation sound. Further, since the bottom of the water reservoir box 26 is exposed to a very high temperature in a state of being immersed in the oil stretched to the bottom of the body portion 18, the water and the like flowing down here can be evaporated in a short time. Also. By attaching the water collecting box 26 to the water draining ring 12, the heat conductivity of the water draining ring 12 may be low, and the water draining ring 12 may be made of ceramic which is said to emit far-infrared rays and improve its taste.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the draining ring 12 and the sump box 26. The sump box 26 is separate from the one formed integrally with the draining ring 12 by welding, screwing or press molding. Some are formed in In the former case, if the bottom portion of the water reservoir box 26 is set to be slightly floating from the bottom of the body portion 18 of the pot body 10, the adhesion between the drainage ring 12 and the lid receiving portion 16 is improved. In the latter case, the sump box 26 is placed on the bottom of the body 18, but at this time, in order to ensure continuity with the drainage ring 12 covered from above, the sump box 26 It is conceivable to form a spigot or the like that enters the sump box 26.

In the illustrated embodiment, one water reservoir box 26 is formed, but this is merely an example, and it is a matter of course that two or more water reservoir boxes 26 may be provided. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned draining ring 12, it is also conceivable that the side part 22 is inclined so as to become lower toward the water sump box 26. By doing so, the water accumulated in the lateral portion 22 can be quickly dropped into the water sump box 26.

In addition, although not shown, the water reservoir 26
It is also conceivable to cover the upper part with a removable lid plate. The water or the like that has flowed down into the water sump box 26 is evaporated therefrom, so that there is a case where the water scatters and makes some noise at this time. However, such a cover can be prevented by providing the cover plate. However, a gap must be provided between the lid plate and the horizontal portion 22 of the draining ring 12 so as not to hinder the flow of water or the like accumulated in the horizontal portion 22.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a main portion of another example of forming the water reservoir box 26. The water reservoir box 26 may be formed on the body 18 side of the pot body 10. Of course, since the drainage ring 12 is covered above the water sump box 26, a hole 28 is formed above the water sump box 26 of the water drainage ring 12 in this case. Further, although not shown, the water reservoir box 26 may be formed outside the body 18. The water reservoir box 26 formed on the body 18 may be formed separately, may be screwed or welded, or may be formed integrally. In particular, since a single-layer metal body used for an electric pot or the like can be molded by casting, the integral molding is not so difficult.

The lid 14 has a spherical portion 32 to which the knob 30 is attached at the top to cover the pot body 10, and an attachment portion 34 that fits perfectly on the upper surface of the lid receiving portion 16 at the lower end of the spherical portion 32. It is. In this case, it is preferable that the spherical portion 32 be provided with a steep downward gradient as much as possible in a wide range as shown in the figure. This is because water droplets attached to the lid 14 are actively shifted to the lower end side and can be positively dropped into the drainage ring 12.

Although the material of the lid 14 is not particularly limited, it is most preferable that at least a part thereof is made of transparent heat-resistant glass or heat-resistant resin. Can also be observed. by the way,
When the lid 14 is made of a glass body, the attachment portion 34 is made up of a metal frill 36 that can be fitted to the lower end of the spherical portion 32 and a flat metal flange 38 that is fixed to the frill 36 by welding or the like. If it is formed, fabrication is easy.

In this case, since the diameter of the spherical portion 32 can be reduced, there is an advantage that the downward gradient can be steep without increasing the height. Further, in this case, as shown in the sectional view of the main part of FIG. 3, if the inner end of the flange 38 is bent downward to form a lower projection 40, the water droplets flowing down the spherical portion 32 can be drained by the drain ring 12 Has the effect of dropping positively.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing another example of the thick pot. In this embodiment, the pot body 10 and the lid 14 are square. In this case, the draining ring 12 is of course square, but the point of providing the hole 24 and the sump box 26 is the same. Further, it is preferable that at least a part of the lid 14 be transparent. In this example, the draining ring 1
Although the two are integrated, the long side and the short side may be separate. Also, the lid 14 is formed so that the surface in the longitudinal direction is vertical, but it may be a ridge-shaped roof having an inclined surface. As described above, the thick pot is not limited to a circular or square shape but has various shapes.

Next, a description will be given of a case where an oil dish such as fried tempura is cooked by using the thick pot having the above-described configuration. At the same time, when the oil has reached the appropriate temperature, add the ingredients and cover with the lid to cook. At this time, water and the like in the food material evaporate vigorously in the early stage of cooking and adhere to the lid as water droplets.

However, the water droplets attached to the lid fall on the drain ring, and the water and the like dropped on the drain ring are positively dropped into the sump box. Therefore, a state in which water or the like remains on the drain ring is discharged, and no evaporation noise is generated from the state. The water, etc., which has fallen into the water reservoir, evaporates immediately because the inside thereof is heated to a high temperature, and breaks off the water seal formed between the lid receiving portion and the flange and is radiated to the outside. You. In this state, the inside of the pot body also becomes a so-called dry state, and the amount of water droplets attached to the lid decreases.

Therefore, even if the lid is removed during or at the end of cooking, water drops hardly fall into the oil. On this occasion,
When the lid is transparent, the amount of water droplets attached to the lid can be known, and it can be determined whether or not the lid can be removed. Further, the water drain ring at this time receives even if water or the like falls, does not drop it into the oil, and prevents the water or the like jumping from the oil from scattering to the outside. In addition, if you cook oil with a lid on a thick pan using the above-mentioned drainer ring, the amount of oil to be filled in may be extremely small (about 1 to 2 cm thick), and the cooking time As described above, the length is short.

[0025]

As described above, according to the present invention, a drain box is attached to a drain ring attached to a thick pot, so that water or the like accumulated in the drain ring flows down into the drain box, and from there. Evaporation and evaporation while remaining in the drain ring are eliminated. Therefore, the sound of evaporation is small, and there is no possibility of scattering and falling into the oil below. Further, since the water reservoir is exposed to a very high temperature, the water or the like flowing down there evaporates quickly, and the time of the evaporation sound is short.
