Description

  The present invention relates to a cooking container for a microwave oven. The microwave cooking container of the present invention can be cooked easily and in a short time using a microwave oven to cook mainly dim sums such as meat buns, shumai, and small potato packages, warm vegetables such as carrots and potatoes, and edamame. it can.

  In recent years, the use of a microwave oven as a simple cooking utensil has been expanded in the home and business, and in the case of a small amount of ingredients, it has been widely practiced to cook individually in a microwave oven. Under such circumstances, various types of resin containers for cooking in a microwave oven have been recently marketed. For example, plastic containers suitable for microwave ovens, such as instant noodle cooking containers and porridge cooking containers, cooking meat meat, shumai, etc., and heating vegetables, etc., are also commercially available.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-360420 discloses a cooking container suitable for cooking meat meat. FIG. 2 of the gazette shows a plastic cooking utensil comprising a lower case which is a shallow container, an inner dish installed inside the lower case, and a deep upper case covering the shallow lower case. During cooking, meat man is put in this container and heated in a microwave oven at a predetermined required output and time, then the upper deep container (cover) is removed, and the meat man on the middle plate is taken out.

  On the other hand, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-242714 discloses a cooking device for a microwave oven that cooks warm vegetables by heating using a microwave oven. FIG. 1 of the publication describes a cooking container for a microwave oven comprising a deep container body having a vent hole inside a deep outer container and a flat lid attached to these. When cooking, set vegetables in this deep container to the required microwave output and heat for a certain period of time, then open the shallow container at the top and transfer the cooked ingredients on the bowl to another container.

  As described above, the cooking container used for the latter, such as warm vegetables, has a member with a vent (bottom) in the lower deep container and the upper lid is shallowly formed. On the other hand, the former is used for cooking meat buns, etc. On the contrary, the lower part of the cooking container is a shallow container with a spider and the upper part is formed into a deep dome-shaped container, making it easy to remove after cooking. The whole ingredients to be steamed or heated in this way have a relatively large and stable shape such as meat noodles and shumai, or a large number of vegetables such as carrots and green soybeans, and the overall shape is not good. Depending on whether it is stable, it is necessary to form the lower container deeply or shallowly, and it is necessary to prepare both containers to be able to cook either food, cost, storage Location is not preferred for convenience during use.

  Next, the cooking container for a microwave oven of the present invention will be described in more detail by way of specific examples with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3, the microwave oven cooking container 50 includes a shallow first container 10, a deep second container 20, and a spider 30 a attached to these containers.

(First container: shallow)
The first container 10 has an opening 11 in the upper part, and its horizontal cross section is a roughly rectangular container, and its corner portion is greatly rounded (FIG. 2). The first container 10 has an annular flat portion 12 on the bottom surface. When the first container 10 is placed with the first container facing down, the entire container is stabilized. The depth of the first container 10 may be appropriately changed depending on the size of the entire product. Here, the depth of the container is a distance from the opening surface of the container to the lowest surface inside. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a flange 13 is provided outward on the outer periphery of the upper edge of the opening 11 of the first container 10, and the openings facing each other further expand outward. A handle 14 is provided. An annular fitting groove 16 is provided in the attachment portion (base portion) of the flange 13 along the outer shape of the container (FIG. 3). Further, around the inner surface of the lower portion of the first container 10, a hook stopper 18a is formed as a shelf fixing portion on which the hook element 30a is stably placed.

(Second container: deep)
As shown in FIG. 2, the second container 20 has an opening 21 having a shape corresponding to the upper edge of the opening 11 of the first container 10, and seals the first container 10 by its own weight. The 2nd container 20 has the cyclic | annular flat part 22 in the upper part, and has the knob | pick part 25 formed perpendicularly inside this cyclic | annular flat part. A flange 23 is provided on the outer periphery of the opening 21 of the second container 20 in the same manner as the first container, and a handle 24 is provided at a position opposite to the circumference of the container corresponding to the handle 14 of the first container.

  As shown in FIG. 3, an annular fitting protrusion 26 is provided along the container at the attachment portion (base) of the flange 23 of the second container 20, and the annular fitting groove provided in the flange 13 of the first container. 16 fits. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a hook stopper 28a is formed around the inner surface of the lower part of the second container 20 as a shelf fixing part (shelf step part) similar to the first container 10, and the second container 20 is positioned below. When used in this manner, the same scissors child 30a as described above is stably placed.

  The hook stopper (shelf step) is continuous in the specific example of FIG. 1 or the like, but may be formed discontinuously such as a plurality of protrusions provided on the side wall of the container. The depth of the second container is 2 to 10 times, preferably 2.5 to 4 times the depth of the first container.

  The salmon child 30a has a substantially circular outer periphery and has a large number of air holes 32 on the inner side, and allows moisture and steam to flow during cooking. If the top surface and bottom surface of the bowl 30a have the same shape, the cooking container can be opened without any special consciousness, without changing the top or bottom of the bowl, regardless of whether the first container or the first container is down. It is preferable because the desired food can be cooked immediately by simply turning it upside down. This hook 30a fits and stabilizes in both the hook stopper 18a of the first container and the hook stopper 28a of the second container.

  The first container (shallow type) and the second container (deep type) each have flat surfaces 12 and 22 on which the container can be stably placed, with the bottom as the bottom (opposite part) of the openings 11 and 21, respectively. Both the first container and the opening 11 and 21 of the second container are closed, the container is closed, the first container is lowered (FIG. 5), and the second container is lowered (FIG. 6). In any case, it can be stably placed on the cooking table and microwave oven. When the first container is turned down, the hook child 30a is placed and fixed on the hook stopper 18a of the first container (FIG. 5). On the other hand, when the second container 20 is turned down, the hook child 30a is placed and fixed on the hook stopper 28a of the second container (FIG. 6).

  In this way, the cooking container of the present invention is a shallow cooking container for microwave oven with the first container 10 down and easy to take out, and a deep cooking container with the second container 20 down. Can also be preferably used.

  In the noodle cooking container of the present invention, various general-purpose materials may be used for such a plastic container for food, and it can be usually molded from various plastics such as polypropylene and polystyrene.
