Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a cooking container used for making a stewed dish or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, a pot is used as a cooking container when cooking food at home or the like. That is, meat potatoes and the like are made by placing an appropriate amount of water and cooking ingredients such as vegetables and meat in a pan, heating the mixture on a gas stove, and boiling for a predetermined time.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 By the way, in the case of the above-mentioned stewed dish, it is common to directly heat the cooking container (pan) with a heat source such as a gas stove, but it is necessary to pay particular attention to temperature control. For example, if the temperature is too high when boiling vegetables, the nutrients (vitamins) contained in the vegetables will be damaged and their nutritional value will be reduced. If the heat of the heat source is too strong, cooking ingredients may be burned. In particular, when cooking high-viscosity items such as curries and stews, or when cooking water is low, scorching is likely.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to cook a cooking material by heating while suppressing damage to nutrients contained therein, and to cook a high-viscosity cooking material or to cook using only the moisture contained in the cooking material. An object of the present invention is to provide a cooking container that does not burn even when it is found.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the invention of claim 1 includes a container body capable of storing a cooking material and a lid that can seal the container body, and the container body is sealed by the lid. When immersed in water in a container that is directly heated in this state, it is configured to be able to indirectly heat while pressing the cooking material in the main body, and the pressure in the main body of the lid is below the set pressure. And a pressure relief valve for adjusting the pressure relief valve so as to satisfy the following condition.

In the case of such a device, when the container housing the container body is heated by a heat source such as a gas stove, the water stored in the container rises in temperature and boils. Along with this, the container body immersed in water is also heated.

Here, since the container main body is sealed by the lid, the cooking material stored in the container main body is heated indirectly while being pressurized. That is, the cooking material is heated and pressurized in the same manner as cooked in a pressure cooker. When the pressure in the container body exceeds the set pressure, the pressure relief valve is adjusted so that the internal pressure becomes equal to or less than the set pressure, so that abnormal pressure rise is prevented and safety is ensured.

As described above, since the container body is indirectly heated via the water contained in the container, the temperature does not rise above the boiling temperature of water. Therefore, the cooking material can be heated and cooked while suppressing damage to the nutrients. Even when cooking high-viscosity cooking materials or cooking with only the moisture contained in the cooking materials, there is no burning.

[0009] The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the pressure relief valve is provided with a hole penetrated through the lid, and when the internal pressure of the container body sealed with the lid is equal to or lower than a set pressure. An elastic member that closes the hole against the internal pressure and, when the internal pressure exceeds a set pressure, elastically deforms in accordance with the internal pressure to release the blockage of the hole. It is.

In the case of such a device, since the internal pressure of the container body is adjusted so as not to exceed the set pressure by utilizing the elasticity of the elastic member, the configuration is not complicated and the cost is not increased. Therefore, the same operation and effect as in the case of the invention of claim 1 can be obtained, and further simplification of the configuration and cost reduction can be achieved.

[0011]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, FIG. 1 is a view for explaining an example of use of the cooking container according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an appearance, FIG. 3 is a view for explaining a pressure relief valve, and FIG. ) Is a diagram for explaining the operation of the pressure relief valve, (B) is a plan view, (C) is a longitudinal sectional view, and (D) is a bottom view.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cooking container 20 according to the present invention has a container main body 21 capable of storing the cooking material M, and a lid 31 capable of sealing the container main body 21. The main body 21 is configured to be capable of cooking while pressurizing the cooking material M by indirect heating in a state where the main body 21 is closed by the lid portion 31.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, when the container main body 21 is immersed in water Q in the container 10 which is directly heated while being sealed with the lid portion 31, The cooking material M in 21 can be indirectly heated while being pressurized. In this embodiment, a commercially available pot capable of storing the water Q and holding the container body 21 immersed in the water Q is used as the container 10.

Here, the container body 21 is formed of a metal material (stainless steel, aluminum, copper, or the like), pottery, enameled metal material, or the like. The lid portion 31 is formed of a lid member 32 that covers the upper opening portion 22 of the container body 21 and a locking portion 33 that makes the lid member 32 adhere to the upper opening portion 22 of the container body 21. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 39 denotes an annular sealing material.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the locking portion 33 has a holder 34 fixed to the upper side of the container body 21, a U-shaped base end portion 36, which is rotatably supported by the holder 34. The distal end portion 37 is formed from a locking member 35 capable of pressing the lid member 32 against the upper opening 22 of the container body 21.

The pressure relief valve 40 is a means for adjusting the pressure in the container body 21 sealed by the lid 31 to be equal to or lower than a set pressure, and is provided on the lid 31. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 (A), (B), and (C), the pressure relief valve 40 is provided with a hole 42 penetrating through the lid member 32 and an internal pressure of the main body container 21. When the pressure is lower than the pressure, the hole 42 is closed against the internal pressure, and when the internal pressure exceeds the set pressure, the elastic member is elastically deformed according to the internal pressure to release the hole 42. 45.

More specifically, the elastic member 45 has a cross-shaped fixing portion 46 locked in the hole 42 of the lid member 32, and a cover portion 47 for covering and closing the hole 42 from above. And a shaft portion 48 that connects the cover portion 47 and the fixing portion 46 and presses both (47, 46) against the lid member 32. In this embodiment, the elastic member 45 is made of a synthetic resin.

In the cooking container 20 having the above configuration, when the container 10 is heated by the heat source 5 such as a gas stove, the temperature of the water Q contained in the container 10 rises and the water Q boils. Along with this, the container body 21 immersed in the water Q is also heated.

Here, since the container main body 21 is sealed by the lid portion 31, the cooking material M stored in the main body 21 is heated under a state where the acting pressure is increased. That is, the cooking material M is heated and pressurized in the same manner as cooked in a pressure cooker. When the pressure in the container body 21 exceeds the set pressure, the outer peripheral edge of the cover 47 of the elastic member 45 is rolled up as shown in FIG. Let go. As described above, since the pressure inside the container body 21 is adjusted by the pressure relief valve 40 so as to be equal to or lower than the set pressure, abnormal pressure rise is prevented and safety is ensured.

As described above, since the container body 21 can be indirectly heated via the water Q contained in the container 10, the temperature does not rise above the boiling temperature of the water Q. Therefore, it is possible to cook by heating while suppressing the damage of the nutrient containing the cooking material M. Further, even when cooking the high-viscosity cooking material M or when cooking using only the moisture contained in the cooking material M, there is no burning.

When the internal pressure of the hole 42 penetrated through the lid 31 and the container main body 21 sealed by the lid 31 is lower than the set pressure, the pressure relief valve 40 resists the internal pressure. Then, the hole 42 is closed, and when the internal pressure exceeds the set pressure, the hole 42 is formed by an elastic member 45 which is elastically deformed according to the internal pressure to release the blockage of the hole 42. It does not increase costs.
