[0002]

[Prior art]

 When boiled eggs are cooked in a cooking vessel such as a pot, the yolks often boil one side of the egg. This is because when the egg is heated in a pot or the like, if the egg is in contact with the bottom of the pot, the part in contact with the egg is likely to be partially heated, and the egg is not heated uniformly as a whole. is there. For this reason, a method has been adopted in which the egg is heated so that it does not come into direct contact with the bottom of a cooking vessel such as a pan, so that the yolk is located in the middle of the egg when boiled.

For example, when putting eggs in a cooking container such as a pot, a storage container with legs formed of a net or the like is used so that the eggs can be slightly floated from the bottom of the cooking container and supported. There is a method in which eggs are stored in a storage container, and the storage container is put into a cooking container and the eggs are boiled. In this way, by storing eggs in the storage container and boiled, the eggs do not come into direct contact with the bottom of the pot or the like, and the yolk comes to the center of the eggs when boiled.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an egg boiler according to the present invention. The egg boiler of the present embodiment includes three identically-shaped storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c for storing eggs one by one. Each of the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c is formed in a dish shape with an open top, and a frame portion 12 in which a round bar is formed in a circular ring shape at an opening edge is provided. A storage net portion 14 formed by shaping a net material into a dish shape with a gradually decreasing diameter is attached.

[0008] The storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c are arranged such that the outer surfaces of the frame portion 12 are in contact with each other, and the center of each of the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c is located at the vertex position of an equilateral triangle. Fixed and supported. The outer frame 16 is a member formed in a circular ring shape having a size surrounding the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c. Each of the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c is a portion where the frame portion 12 and the outer frame 16 are in contact with each other. The frame 12 is fixed to the outer frame 16 by welding. In addition, the method of fixing the frame portion 12 to the outer frame 16 is not limited to welding, and an appropriate fixing method can be used.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the egg boiler of the present embodiment. This shows that the three storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c are evenly arranged inside the outer frame 16. The frame portions 12 of the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c function to fix the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c to the outer frame 16, and when the eggs are set in the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c, the outer surface of the eggs is It also has the function of spacers that are spaced apart from each other.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 18 denotes a support frame for supporting the storage units 10a, 10b, and 10c apart from the bottom of the cooking container. In this embodiment, the support frame 18 is formed in the shape of a circular ring having the same diameter as the outer frame 16, and the outer frame 16 and the support frame 18 are vertically separated from each other and supported by the support bar 20. The support bar 20 supports the outer frame 16 and the support frame 18 at parallel intervals, and is disposed at a plurality of positions in the circumferential direction of the support frame 18 and is provided at the storage net portions 14 of the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c. The length is set so that the bottom is located above the support frame 18.

FIG. 3 is a front view of the egg boiler according to the embodiment. The outer frame 16 and the support frame 18 are supported vertically apart from each other by the support bar 20, and the bottom of the storage net 14 of the storage units 10a, 10b, and 10c is provided slightly above the support frame 18. Indicates that it has been The depth dimension of the storage net 14 and the length of the support bar 20 are set so that the bottom of the storage net 14 is slightly spaced upward from the support frame 18 because the eggs are stored in an egg boiler. This is so that when the egg boiler is set in a cooking vessel such as a pot, the eggs are separated from the bottom of the cooking vessel and supported. In the egg boiler of the embodiment, the bottom of the storage net 14 and the support frame 18 are set to be separated by about 5 mm.

The method of supporting the bottom of the storage net 14 away from the bottom of the cooking vessel is not limited to the method of providing the support frame 18 as in the present embodiment, but may be, for example, the same shape as the support bar 20. It is also possible to provide support legs on the outer frame 16 so that the bottom of the storage net 14 is separated from the bottom of the cooking vessel. In the case of the present embodiment, by providing a support frame 18 having the same shape as the outer frame 16, the overall shape retention is enhanced, and a predetermined strength is obtained.

The shape of the storage net portion 14 is such that the diameter of the lower portion is gradually reduced so that eggs can be stably stored in the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c in an upright state. The lower end portion is slightly separated from the bottom of the storage net portion 14 so that the exposed portion of the egg above the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c is widened. When cooking small eggs such as quail eggs, the eggs come into contact with the bottom of the storage net 14, but in this case also, the bottom of the storage net 14 is positioned slightly higher from the support frame 18. Therefore, the egg and the bottom of the cooking container such as a pan are separated. In the egg boiler of the embodiment, the bottom of the storage net 14 is closed, but the bottom of the storage net 14 may be opened as long as the diameter does not allow the eggs to pass through.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 22 denotes a handle having one end fixed to the outer frame 16. In the present embodiment, one end of the handle 22 is fixed to the outer surface of the outer frame 16 and the outer surface of the support frame 18 by welding, and the other end of the handle 22 is extended upward. I have. The length of the handle 22 is set such that the grip 22a of the handle 22 extends outside the cooking container when the egg boiler is placed in a cooking container such as a pot. By bending the grip portion 22a outward in the middle of the handle 22, heat of the boiling water in the cooking vessel can be prevented from being applied to the grip portion 22a. That is, the handle 22 extends straight upward from the outer frame 16 so that the space in the cooking container can be effectively used, and the upper portion of the handle 22 is bent outward to facilitate gripping.

The length of the handle 22 and the bending angle and length of the grip portion 22a bent outward are set so that the egg boiler can stably stand when the egg is set in the egg boiler. The handle 22 can be bent outward by the relatively large plane area of the outer frame 16 and the support frame 18, the weight of the storage portions 10 a, 10 b, 10 c, the outer frame 16, the support frame 18, and the weight of the eggs. Even with the configuration described above, stable support is possible.

In the egg boiler of the present embodiment, the frame portion 12, the outer frame 16, the support frame 18, the support bar 20, and the handle 22 are formed of stainless steel, and the storage net 14 is formed of stainless steel net material. Formed. This is because the egg boiler needs to have sufficient heat resistance because it is heated by boiling water. Of course, it can be formed of a material having heat resistance other than stainless steel, for example, a metal material or a synthetic resin material. In addition, the inside diameter of the opening of the storage units 10a, 10b, and 10c of the egg boiler of the embodiment is about 45 mm, the inside diameter of the bottom is about 10 mm, and the height of the storage net 14 is about 25 mm.

FIG. 4 shows a use state of the egg boiler in which the eggs 40 are set in the egg boiler of the embodiment and set in the cooking container 30. The eggs 40 are set up in the storage portions 10a, 10b and 10c of the egg boiler one by one. The egg boiler is supported in a state where the support frame 18 is in contact with the bottom of the cooking container 30, and the egg 40 is supported while being separated from the bottom of the cooking container 30. By storing the eggs 40 in the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c so that the outer surfaces of the eggs 40 are separated from each other, the hot water easily moves around the eggs 40, and the eggs 40 are evenly distributed. Can be heated. Since the lower part where the eggs 40 are supported is the storage net portion 14, the hot water flows freely, and the eggs 40 are also heated even in this respect.

When the egg boiler according to the present embodiment is used, the eggs 40 are heated in a state where they are separated from the bottom of a cooking vessel such as a pot, so that boiled eggs in which the yolk is not biased among the eggs can be obtained. In particular, by setting the egg 40 upright, the egg 40 is arranged symmetrically with respect to the vertical line (gravity), and the yolk is corrected so that it is located at the center of the egg, so that the yolk is surely in the center. You can get some boiled eggs. When the egg 40 is set in the storage sections 10a, 10b, and 10c, the egg 40 may be placed on the thinner side either downward or upward.

In addition, by storing the eggs 40 upright, the space in which the eggs 40 are arranged can be used efficiently. In the egg boiler of the present embodiment, the height of the main body parts such as the storage portions 10a, 10b, and 10c is designed to be low, so that the cooking container is set with the eggs 40 placed on the egg boiler and set in the container. The eggs are only deep enough to be submerged in the water, eliminating the need for large containers.

In the case of the egg boiler of the present embodiment, the handle 22 is extended upward so that the handle 22 can be easily held by the grip portion 22a of the handle 22 when setting it in a cooking container such as a pot. Can be set. When the eggs are boiled and the egg boiler is taken out of the cooking container 30, the grip 22 a extends outside the cooking container 30, so that the user can easily take out the eggs by holding the grip 22 a. Since the water in the cooking vessel is hot water, it is dangerous to bring the hand over the cooking vessel and take out the utensil. However, in the egg boiler of this embodiment, the handle 22 is gripped outside the cooking vessel. The extended portion 22a enables safe handling. The provision of the handle 22 makes it possible to safely handle the case in which the eggs in the cooking vessel are boiled with hot water.

In the above-described embodiment, three housing portions 10a, 10b, and 10c are provided in the outer frame 16, but the number of the housing portions 10 can be appropriately provided. 5A shows an example in which seven storage units 10 are provided, and FIG. 5B shows an example in which six storage units 10 are provided. An egg boiler provided with an appropriate number of storage units 10 according to the size of the cooking container to be used can be used. In FIG. 5 (a), the storage portion 10 is supported by an outer frame 16 formed in a circular ring shape. As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the outer frame 16 is formed in a triangular shape. It is also possible to support the storage unit 10 on the storage unit 16. In FIG. 5, the configuration of each storage unit 10 is the same as that of the above-described embodiment, and is configured to have a shape in which a dish-shaped storage net 14 is supported on the frame 12.
