Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide a rice cooker with a cup that can deliciously cook a small amount of rice and can simultaneously heat other foods other than rice. [Structure] A cup 6 whose upper part is open and made of a heat-resistant material is detachably installed on the bottom surface 5 of the rice cooking chamber 4.

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a rice cooker with a cup.

0002

[Conventional technology]

Generally, when cooking rice in a large-capacity rice cooker such as a 5-cup rice cooker, it is recommended to Rice can be cooked deliciously, but if the amount is less than half the amount, the rice layer will be thin and the rice grains will be The area in contact with the pot surface will become smaller and the taste will deteriorate. Even in the garden, I had to cook more rice than necessary.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

The purpose of this invention is to be able to cook delicious rice even if it is small compared to its capacity. To provide a rice cooker with a cup capable of simultaneously performing heating cooking other than rice cooking. There is a particular thing.

0004

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the rice cooker with a cup of the present invention has an opening at the top. A cup made of a heat material is removably installed on the bottom of the rice cooker.

[0005]

[Effect]

By installing a cup in the rice cooking chamber, the cross-sectional area of the rice layer is small for the same capacity. The rice becomes thinner, thicker, and the contact area between the rice and the side wall of the rice cooking chamber increases. Give residual heat from both the side wall of the cup and the side wall of the cooking chamber.

[0006] Additionally, other foods are stored separately from rice in the cup and heated at the same time as the rice is cooked.

[0007]

【Example】

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

[0008] Reference numeral 1 denotes a rice cooker, in which an inner pot 3 having almost the same shape as the inner pot is attached and detached inside an outer pot 2. A cup 6 is installed on the bottom surface 5 of the rice cooking chamber 4 of the inner pot 3 in a detachable manner. There is.

[0009] As shown in Figure 2, the cup 6 is made of thick heat-resistant material such as ceramic or heat-resistant glass. It is made of raw material and has a cylindrical shape with an open top, and handles 7 are integrated on both sides of the upper edge of the outer periphery. , and three or more legs 8 are provided on the lower surface.

0010 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cup 6, and there are many ventilation holes 9. A steam plate 11 made of stainless steel or the like is provided with holes and has a plurality of support legs 10 on the bottom surface of the cup. The diameter of the cup 6 is slightly larger than that of the cup 6, as shown in FIG. The lid 12 is made of stainless steel or the like and has a gripping part 13 at the center of the upper surface. It is detachably attached to the pool 6.

[0011] Next, how to use this rice cooker 1 will be explained.

0012 When cooking a large amount of rice, remove cup 6 and cook the rice as you would with a conventional rice cooker. However, if there is a small amount of rice, place the cup 6 on the bottom 5 of the rice cooking chamber 4 as shown in Figure 1. Place rice on the outside of cup 6, cover with water and cook.

[0013] At this time, if you want to steam potatoes or leftover rice, pour water into the bottom of cup 6 and steam. Lay out a plate 11, place the above foods on it, cover the lid 12, and cook the rice at the same time. heat.

[0014] Also, if you want to make rice porridge etc. in the cup 6, remove the steaming plate 11 and Put the rice or cooked rice and the required amount of water into the container and heat them at the same time.

[0015]

[Effect of the idea] The cup-equipped rice cooker of this invention allows you to attach the cup and place rice on the outside of the cup. , the cross-sectional area of the rice layer becomes smaller, and for the same capacity, the thickness of the layer becomes larger. As a result, each grain of rice stands upright, making it possible to cook a small amount of rice deliciously even in a large-capacity rice cooker. The residual heat is applied from both the side wall of the pot and the side wall of the cup, so it can be used in a short time. This allows the rice to be sufficiently steamed in between, making it possible to obtain even better taste. .

[0016] Also, if you store foods other than cooked rice separately from rice in the cup, you can store this food in a cup. It can be heated at the same time, making it very useful for warming up leftover rice or making porridge. It's convenient.

[0017] Furthermore, the cup is removable, so you can use it when cooking a large amount of rice. You can take out the rice cooker and cook rice in the same way as before.
