Abstract

(57) 【Abstract】 PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooking tool capable of easily steaming a bakery using steam ejected from a steam discharge hole provided in a lid of an electric rice cooker. A main body (1), a lid (7), and a food support member (5) are provided. The main body (1) has an open top and bottom and a steam intake port (8) formed on the bottom, and allows steam to pass through in the middle of the main body. A food support member 5 that can be installed is attached, and a flange 3 extends along the inner surface of the peripheral wall 2 on the bottom surface of the main body, and the flange has a recess 4 so that water drops can be collected.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a steamer used in a general household for steaming food by using steam ejected from a steam vent hole provided in a lid of an electric rice cooker.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 There has been no steamer that uses steam ejected from the steam vent hole in the lid of an electric rice cooker.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Conventionally, there has been no means for effectively utilizing the steam ejected from the steam vent hole of the lid of the electric rice cooker. It is an object of the present invention to provide an appliance that can boil an egg or steam sushi using steam ejected from a hole in a lid of an electric rice cooker.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the configuration of the present invention as set forth in claim 1, the main body has an open top and bottom, and a food support member that allows steam to pass through is attached midway inside the main body. A flange extends along the groove, and the flange has a recess for accumulating water droplets. The structure of the present invention as set forth in claim 2 is a slightly embodied version of the device as set forth in claim 1, in which the main body has a cylindrical shape and the upper surface of the lid is formed in a hemispherical shape.

[0005]

[Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The main body 1 is integrally formed of stainless steel and has a substantially cylindrical shape. Both the top surface and the bottom surface of the main body 1 are open, and a steam intake port 8 is formed on the open bottom surface. A flange 3 extends along the inner surface of the peripheral wall 2 on the bottom surface of the main body 1, and a U-shaped recess 4 1 is provided over the entire length of the flange 3. The concave portion 4 is for preventing water droplets from flowing onto the lid of the electric rice cooker by accumulating water droplets that have fallen along the inner surface of the peripheral wall 2.

The food support member 5 is a circular net made of stainless steel. Therefore, steam can pass upward through this mesh to steam food. In order to mount the food support member 5 in the main body 1, a locking projection 6 is provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall 2 in the middle thereof. The food supporting member 5 is not limited to the net, and may be any material as long as it can support food and allow vapor to pass therethrough.

The lid 7 is integrally formed of stainless steel so that the overall shape is hemispherical, and the inner diameter of the portion is slightly narrowed over the entire circumference of the lower end edge of the lid, so that the lower end The edge can be inserted into the body and a lid can be attached to the top of the body. The shape of the lid 7 is not limited to the case where the entire shape is hemispherical, and the lower half of the lid 7 may be cylindrical and the upper half may be hemispherical.

The method of use of the present invention will be described below. Since the electric rice cooker used at home has a steam discharge hole, the main body 1 of the present invention is placed on the steam discharge hole with a steam intake port 8 , The food support member 5 is attached to the inside of the main body 1, and the sushi and eggs are placed on the food support member 5 and the lid 7 is covered. The steam ejected from the steam discharge hole of the electric rice cooker can pass through the bottom surface of the main body and enter the main body to steam rice for sale and eggs. The steam further rises and hits the back surface of the lid 7 to form water droplets, but since the shape of the top surface of the lid 7 is hemispherical, the water droplets do not immediately fall as they are, and travel down the inner surface of the lid 7 and further down the inner surface of the main body. It accumulates in the recess 4 of the flange. Therefore, it is possible to prevent water droplets attached to the inner surface of the lid from directly falling on the sashimi and causing a bad taste, and to prevent the water droplets from dropping onto the lid of the rice cooker and flowing out.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and can easily steam food such as fried rice and eggs using the steam discharged from the steam discharge hole of the lid of the electric rice cooker. Further, since the flange of the main body is provided with the recess 4 for accumulating water drops, it is possible to prevent the water drops coming down along the inner surface of the main body from flowing out onto the rice cooker. Since the upper surface of the lid 7 is hemispherical, the water droplets attached to the inner surface of the lid 7 do not drop as they are, and the water droplets can be accumulated in the recess 4 along the inner surface of the lid and the inner surface of the main body 1.
