Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an egg cooker exclusively for cooking in a microwave oven.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, various types of cooking have been carried out using a microwave oven, but there has not been a dedicated container for preparing items such as eggs using a microwave oven.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The present invention is a special container for making a small amount of hard-boiled eggs for one person using a microwave oven. It is an object of the present invention to provide a container that can be easily taken out while avoiding high heat from the container, and that can be extremely easily attached and detached from the lid and the container.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a cooking utensil is constructed from a heat-resistant glass container 1 which forms a substantially oval shape when they are butted together, and a synthetic resin lid 2. On both sides of the lower edge of the lid 2, a pair of elastic synthetic resin fitting tongues 3 are curved along the outside of the container 1 so that both sides of the container 1 can be elastically held.
3 was provided so as to extend downward.

(Function) When making poached eggs using the microwave egg cooker of the present invention, the eggs are cracked into the container 1, lightly beaten, the lid 2 is fitted, and the eggs are placed in the microwave oven.
When putting the lid 2 over the container 1, when the lid 2 is pressed against the top of the container 1 and pushed down, the tongue pieces 3, 3 are pushed open along the curved surface of the outer periphery of the container 1, and then elastically returned. Since both sides of the container 1 are clamped, it can be easily fitted into the container 1. and,
After heating in the microwave for a predetermined time, the egg cooker is taken out, the lid 2 is removed, and the eggs inside are stirred to complete the fried eggs. When taking the cooker out of the microwave, place your finger on the tongue 3 of the lid 2.
If you pick it along with step 3, you can avoid the heat.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 5.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal front view of the egg cooker, Figure 2 is a side view of the egg cooker, Figure 3 is a plan view of the egg cooker, Figure 4 is a sectional view of Figure 2, and Figure 5 is the lid. FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional front view showing the progress of fitting.

In the figure, the egg cooker consists of a container 1 made of heat-resistant glass and a lid 2 made of synthetic resin, which form a substantially egg-shaped state when they are butted vertically.

The lid 2 is formed so that its lower part overlaps the outer side of the upper part of the container 1 when the lid 2 is fitted with the container 1 .
On both sides of the lower edge of the lid 2, a pair of elastic synthetic resin fitting tongues 3, 3 curved along the outside of the container extend downward so as to elastically hold both sides of the container 1. It is provided. That is, the fitting tongue pieces 3, 3
When fitted to the container 1, the lower end thereof is located below the maximum diameter part of the container 1, and therefore, unless the fitting tongues 3 and 3 are pushed apart against elasticity, the container 1
It has become impossible to extract it from the body.

When making poached eggs using the egg cooker of this embodiment, the eggs are cracked into a container 1, lightly beaten using chopsticks, etc., the lid 2 is fitted, and the eggs are placed in a microwave oven. To cover the container 1 with the lid 2, it is sufficient to butt the lid 2 against the top of the container 1 and push it down. When the lid 2 is pushed down, the tongue pieces 3, 3 are pushed open along the curved surface of the outer periphery of the container 1, and after the tip passes through the maximum diameter part of the container 1, they elastically return to cover both sides of the container 1. is clamped along its curved surface. Therefore, the lid 2 can be easily fitted onto the container 1 and can be securely locked. Then, after heating in the microwave for a predetermined time, the microwave is stopped, the egg cooker is taken out, the lid 2 is removed, and the eggs inside are stirred to complete the fried eggs. When taking the cooker out of the microwave, place your fingers on the synthetic resin tabs 3, 3 on the lid 2 and pinch.
You can avoid the heat. Then, the cooker is placed on the dining table as it is, the lid 2 is removed, and the cooker is used for eating. Since the container 1 is sealed with the lid 2 until it is served, the eggs inside are kept warm for a while and the flavor is not impaired. Moreover, the egg-shaped shape is excellent in design as an egg cooker, and at the same time, it is also functionally excellent in providing a simple fitting mechanism between the lid and the container using the tongue pieces 3, 3.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, in the present invention, the heat-resistant glass container
and a synthetic resin lid 2. On both sides of the lower edge of the lid 2, there are a pair of elastic elastics curved along the outside of the container 1 so that both sides of the container 1 can be elastically held. Since the synthetic resin fitting tongues 3, 3 are provided so as to extend downward, it is easy to cook eggs, and when taking the egg out of the microwave oven, the eggs can be picked by hooking the fingers on the tongues 3, 3. This allows the container 1 to be easily taken out while avoiding high heat, and the interaction between the egg-shaped outer shape and the tongue pieces 3 makes it extremely easy to attach and detach the lid 2 and the container 1. This has the effect of adding to the aesthetic appeal of the vessel.
