Description

  The present invention enables the use of a wok having a spherical curved surface, which has been considered to be unusable with an electromagnetic cooker, and when frying tempura with an electromagnetic cooker using a relatively small amount of tempura oil, To fry the tempura in an extremely safe state so that it is not overheated to high temperatures, and to make fried foods that are required to heat the pan body to a high temperature. The present invention relates to a Chinese cooker suitable for use in an electromagnetic cooker made possible.

  When frying tempura by heating tempura oil with an electromagnetic cooker, the used tempura pan has a flat bottom wall outer surface so that it can be placed stably on the upper surface of the electromagnetic cooker In order to prevent the tempura oil that is put into a tempura pan with a cylindrical shape from being heated too much above the temperature suitable for frying during heating, It was required to add almost 1 liter of tempura oil. These usage precautions are described in the instruction manuals of the electromagnetic cookers of many manufacturers.

However, when fried tempura using a large amount of tempura oil, which is almost 1 liter, is suitable for preparing supplementary foods for families with many families, it is deeply fried at one time because there are many nuclear families and living alone. Under the present circumstances where the amount of tempura is small and good, there is an inconvenience that the tempura cannot be efficiently fried in a short time and the power consumption required for heating increases.
If you try to increase the heating speed by pressing the key for heating instead of the key for frying in an electromagnetic cooker, the heating temperature will become too high as the heating time elapses, making it difficult to fry the tempura safely. A new inconvenience occurs.

  The present invention has been made to eliminate these disadvantages. When a wok body curved in a spherical shape is held on the upper surface of an electromagnetic cooker in a stable state and fried with a relatively small amount of tempura oil, In addition, while maintaining a temperature range suitable for fried foods, it is possible to efficiently fry tempura in a safe state, and it is also good at cooking fried foods that require heating the pan body to a high temperature The purpose of the present invention is to provide a Chinese cooker suitable for use in an electromagnetic cooker that can be made easily.

  In order to achieve the above object, a Chinese cooker suitable for use in the electromagnetic cooker of the present invention is a magnetic metal pan body curved in a spherical shape and fixed to the lower side of the outer peripheral surface of the pan body. A low-height metal posture stabilization holding member, and a metal overheat prevention member placed on the upper surface of the electromagnetic cooker so as to be positioned substantially at the center of the posture stabilization holding member. .

According to the Chinese cooking device of the present invention, the pan body is made of a magnetic material, and a low-height metal posture stability holding member is fixed to the lower side of the outer peripheral surface curved in a spherical shape, so that electromagnetic cooking is performed. The pot body placed on the upper surface of the vessel can not only be held in a stable state, but also can heat the magnetic pot body by electromagnetic induction.
Moreover, in the case of the pan body curved in a spherical shape, even with a small amount of tempura oil of about 500 cc, the top position is almost the same as when about 1 liter of tempura oil is put into a conventional tempura pan with a cylindrical shape on the upper surface. Since the amount of tempura oil to be heated is reduced, the tempura oil in the pan body is heated to a temperature suitable for frying with a short heating time and low power consumption, and it is efficiently tempura Can be fried.

In addition, the metal overheating prevention member placed on the upper surface of the electromagnetic cooker is the overheating prevention member, as proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-95892 filed earlier. Compared to the case of not using it, it works to keep it in a fairly low temperature range, so a relatively small amount of tempura oil in the pan body is kept in a certain temperature range suitable for frying and safe. Allows you to fry tempura in a state.
In addition, removing the overheat prevention member from the top surface of the electromagnetic cooker will allow the pan body to be heated to a temperature higher than that suitable for frying tempura, making a stir-fried dish that is best suited for a Chinese wok. Can also be used.

Hereinafter, a Chinese cooker suitable for use in the electromagnetic cooker of the present invention will be described in more detail based on examples. FIG. 1 is a partially sectional front view showing a first embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, the Chinese cooker has a magnetic metal pan body 1 having two handles 2, 2 and a low height that is fixed to the lower side of the outer peripheral surface of the pan body 1 by welding or other means. It is comprised from the metal attitude | position stable holding member 3 and the metal overheating prevention member 4 mounted in the upper surface of the electromagnetic cooker A so that it may be located in the approximate center part of this attitude | position stability holding member 3.

  The pot body 1 has a diameter of an upper end opening of about 27 to 30 cm, for example, and is formed in a shape curved in a spherical shape toward the lower side. Usually, the Chinese wok main body 1 is formed by pressing a magnetic metal circular plate into a predetermined spherical shape by pressing and then cutting the upper edge to be horizontal. The curved curve of the Chinese pan body 1 is formed in a shape that makes it easy to fry the food to be cooked based on the tradition of Chinese food for thousands of years.

The posture stable holding member 3 holds the pan body 1 whose bottom wall is curved in a spherical shape in a stable state on the upper surface of the electromagnetic cooker A, and at the same time heats the magnetic metal pan body 1 by electromagnetic induction. It works to hold at a height position as close as possible to the electromagnetic cooker A so that it can be heated.
The posture stable holding member 3 is formed, for example, by bending a thin, thin rectangular metal plate into a circular shape, and is fixed to the lower side of the outer peripheral surface of the pan body 1 by welding or other means.

  When the upper end opening of the pan body 1 is about 27 to 30 cm in size, for example, a posture stability holding member 3 having a diameter of about 130 mm, a height of about 10 mm and a thickness of about 3 mm is used. The horizontal lower end edge of the posture stable holding member 3 is located slightly below the lowermost end of the pan body 1, and a space portion into which the overheat prevention member 4 can be inserted is formed between the pan body 1. The posture stable holding member 3 has a strength capable of holding the pan body 1 in a stable state, and considers a thickness that allows easy processing to round the edge portion of the lower edge in consideration of safety during use. Determined. However, the cross-sectional shape of the posture stabilization holding member 3 is not limited to the rectangular shape shown in the embodiment, and it is needless to say that the posture stable holding member 3 may have a square shape, a circular shape, or other shapes.

The overheat prevention member 4 is a circular overheat prevention plate 4a made of a magnetic metal material such as stainless steel or iron, or a nonmagnetic metal material such as aluminum. It mounts on the upper surface of the electromagnetic cooker A so that it may be located in a center part. The overheat prevention plate 4a has a diameter of about 5 cm, for example, and the thickness varies depending on the material used. If the material used is a magnetic metal such as stainless steel or iron, for example, a material with a thickness of about 1 mm is used, and if it is a non-magnetic metal such as aluminum, it is about 3 times that of a magnetic material. Thick ones are suitable for use.
The overheat preventing member 4 controls the temperature at which the pan body 1 is heated by increasing or decreasing the heating current supplied to the electromagnetic cooker A according to the heating temperature of the pan body 1. The control action appears somewhat earlier when the overheat prevention member 4 is made of a magnetic material than when it is made of a non-magnetic material, so that the overheat prevention member 4 is made of a magnetic material. The operation is started a little earlier and good results are easily obtained.

About 500cc of tempura oil is put into the pan body 1 whose upper end opening is 27 to 30 cm, and the overheat prevention member 4 made of magnetic material with a thickness of 1 mm is used. Is heated to a temperature of about 180 ° C., which is suitable for frying tempura in about 5 minutes from the start of heating, but is kept in the temperature range of 220 to 224 ° C. even if the heating state is continued thereafter, a temperature higher than that. There is no increase. Therefore, even when a small amount of tempura oil is used, the tempura can be fried in a safe state.
In this state, when the overheat prevention member 4 is not used, the tempura oil heated to about 190 ° C. in about 5 minutes from the start of heating continues to rise in temperature after that and reaches a high temperature of about 265 to 275 ° C. after 10 minutes. It can be confirmed that the safety is remarkably improved as compared with the situation where the smoke starts being heated and a dangerous state starts.

FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional front view showing another embodiment of the present invention in which the handle 2 is applied to one wok. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the overheating preventing member 4A used in the embodiment of FIG. FIG.
The overheat preventing member 4A includes an overheat preventing plate 4a having the same configuration as that shown in the first embodiment, and three protruding pieces 4b fixed to the upper surface by welding or the like. As shown in FIG. 3, the three protruding pieces 4b protrude in a direction in which the central angle forms approximately 120 °, and are deformed so as to contact the upper surface of the electromagnetic cooking device A at the portion protruding from the overheat prevention plate 4a. In addition, an engaging portion 4c is formed by bending at a portion corresponding to the lower end edge of the posture stabilization holding member 3.

The three protruding pieces 4b protruding from the overheat prevention plate 4a do not necessarily have the same length, and the length of at least one protruding piece is longer than the length of the other two protruding pieces, If the gap between the horizontal portion 4d and the electromagnetic cooker A can be formed so that a finger can freely enter and exit, the operation of the overheat preventing member 4A can be easily performed.
When the overheat preventing member 4A having this configuration is used, the protruding direction of the protruding piece 4b having a long length is matched with the direction of the handle 2 of the pan body 1.
In the case of this embodiment, when the posture stable holding member 3 of the pan body 1 is engaged with the engaging portion 4c formed at the intermediate portion of the three protruding pieces 4b, the overheat preventing plate 4a is attached to the posture stable holding member 3. In addition to being able to be positioned automatically at the center, the handle 2 protruding from the pan body 1 can keep the pan body 1, which tends to be slightly unstable, in a stable state.

FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional front view showing still another embodiment of the present invention. The overheat preventing member 4B is configured such that an intermediate portion of each protruding piece 4b protruding from the overheat preventing plate 4a is positioned at the lower end of the posture stable holding member 3. It is held by three inverted L-shaped engagement notches 3a formed on the side.
When the overheat prevention member 4B having this configuration is used, when the pan body 1 and the overheat prevention member 4B are stored separately, it is possible to effectively prevent the overheat prevention member 4B from being easily lost.

It is a partial cross section front view which shows 1st Example of this invention. It is a partial cross section front view which shows 2nd Example of this invention. It is a top view of the overheating prevention member currently used for the Example of FIG. It is a partial cross section front view which shows 3rd Example of this invention.
