Description

  The present invention relates to a cooking appliance for cooking cooked raw eggs in a microwave oven like a fried egg.

It is widely known that when cooking raw eggs in a microwave oven in a fried egg-like manner, pretreatment is performed such that the egg yolk membrane or the egg white covering the egg yolk membrane is broken with a toothpick or pestle so that the egg yolk does not burst.
Further, Patent Document 1 describes an egg cooking apparatus which can be cooked in a short time without bursting fried eggs in a microwave oven. This cooker is used to place the shelled raw eggs on a plate, place the plate in a container with a gap at the top and water inside, and microwave heat in a microwave oven It is

Patent document 1: JP 2000-078958 A

  This invention makes it a subject to provide the structure simple cooking appliance which can perform automatically and reliably the method of cooking raw eggs in a conventional microwave oven like a fried egg.

  The egg cooker 1 according to the present invention for solving the above problems comprises a microwave transparent container body 2 having an opening 4 at the top, into which a raw egg E can be inserted, and a container body for opening and closing the opening 4 The upper part of 2 is equipped with a detachable microwave transparent lid 3. The container body 2 has a curved bottom that holds the inserted raw egg E such that the egg yolk E1 is positioned directly below the opening 4. The lid 3 includes a top plate 8 that closes the opening 4 when the container body 2 is fitted, and a plurality of picks 9 extending downward from the lower surface of the top plate 8. The pick part 9 is extended from the opening 4 to the inside of the container body 2 when the lid 3 is fitted to the container body 2 and is set to a length that can break the yolk membrane of the raw egg E in the container body 2 . Moreover, the pick part 9 is cyclically | annularly arranged in the position corresponding to the inner side rather than the periphery of the egg yolk E1 so that the egg yolk E1 may not escape to a side, when the egg yolk E1 is pressed from the top.

  The egg cooker for microwave oven 1 of the present invention is automatically disposed so that its egg yolk E1 is held directly under the opening 4 when the egg E is cut into the container body 2, and the container body 2 has a lid By fitting 3 together, the yolk membrane is automatically pierced by the pick part 9, and it is possible to complete the pretreatment of the microwave cooking surely without trouble. The picks 9 are arranged in a ring at a position corresponding to a position slightly inside of the periphery of the egg yolk E1, so that when the egg yolk E1 is pressed from above, the egg yolk E1 does not escape laterally. Even if the tip of the pick portion 9 is not sharpened for safety, the pick portion 9 reliably sticks to the egg yolk.

It is a front view of the egg cooker for microwave ovens concerning the present invention. It is a side view of the egg cooker for microwave ovens of FIG. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the egg cooker for microwave ovens of FIG. It is IV-IV sectional drawing in FIG. It is a bottom view of a lid. It is explanatory drawing which shows the cooking process by the egg cooker for microwave ovens of FIG.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the attached drawings.
1 and 2, the microwave oven cooker 1 comprises a container body 2 made of a transparent heat-resistant glass, and a lid 3 made of a synthetic resin which can be fitted and detached at the upper part thereof.

The container main body 2 has a schematic shape horizontally cutting the bottom and the top of the erected eggshell, has a circular opening 4 of a size that can insert an egg at the upper end, and has a flat bottom wall 5 at the lower end . The outer diameter of the peripheral wall 6 is expanded from the upper end to the lower maximum diameter portion 7 and is reduced toward the bottom wall 5 from there.
With the bottom wall 5 and the lower portion of the peripheral wall 6 surrounding the raw egg, the raw egg inserted into the container body 2 is in a state in which the egg yolk is disposed approximately at the center.

  The lid 3 is a shape that forms an approximate eggshell shape as a whole together with the container body 2 when fitted to the container body 2. The lid 3 has a dome-shaped top plate portion 8 that closes the opening 4 when fitted to the container body 2, four pick portions 9 extending downward from the lower surface of the top plate portion 8, and a pair of facing members. And a fitting piece 10. An air vent 8 a is formed in the top plate 8.

  The pick portion 9 extends from the opening 4 into the container body 2 when the lid 3 is fitted to the container body 2 and is set to a length that can destroy the egg yolk E1 of the egg E in the container body 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the pick 9 is in the form of an elongated plate, and the edge corner of the tip is formed in a round shape. For this reason, the pick part 9 does not have a tip and can be used safely. Since there is no tip, the egg yolk E1 may escape to the side when the egg yolk E1 is pressed from above when the pick part 9 is single. In order to avoid this, a plurality of pick parts 9 are arranged in an annular shape at a position corresponding to the inner side of the periphery of egg yolk E1 so as to retain egg yolk E, and arcs along mutually annular arrangement It is a shape having a cross section.

  The pair of fitting pieces 10 are curved and extend downward along the outer periphery of the container body 2 from the lower edge of the top plate 8 to the lower position of the largest diameter portion 7 of the container body 2. When the lid 3 is pushed into the upper portion of the container body, the fitting piece 10 elastically bends to open the mutual distance to the maximum diameter portion 7, and after that, it elastically approaches and holds the container body .

  When cooking raw eggs like fried eggs in a microwave oven using this egg cooker 1, the raw eggs are split into the container body 2 as shown in FIGS. 5 (A) to (C). The inserted raw egg is surrounded by the bottom wall 5 and the curved surface of the lower portion of the peripheral wall 6, and the egg yolk is placed at the central portion of the spread egg white. Then, when the lid 3 is fitted to the main container 2, the pick 9 automatically pierces the egg yolk E2 in the container 2 and breaks the yolk membrane, but the four picks 9 hold the egg yolk E2. , Yolk does not collapse and spread widely to the outside. In this state, even if the egg cooker 1 is heated in a microwave, the pressure of the egg yolk E2 does not increase, and there is no risk of rupture. Therefore, microwave oven cooking of raw eggs can be performed only by putting in a container and covering, without requiring special handling separately.
