Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a steamer and griller capable of baking and steaming foods.

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, when cooking food by steaming, a steamer was used, or a slatted pot was placed inside a pot or kettle to form a double bottom to allow steam to pass through.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, conventional steamers, pots, and pots cannot be used to grill food, and in order to grill food, a separate grill etc. must be prepared. There was a problem in that two types of equipment were required, and a separate storage space was also required. The present invention was made to solve these conventional problems, and its purpose is to make it possible to easily steam and grill with one set of utensils without the need for separate utensils. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a steamer that can also be used as a roaster.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a means for achieving the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a roaster/steamer which includes a container main body which is open at the top and bottom and is provided with a wire gauze for holding food inside the cylindrical interior, and the container main body. The lid body is detachably fitted to the upper opening of the container body, and the lower pan is detachably fitted to the lower opening of the container body.

[0005]

[Operation] When using the steamer that also serves as a griller of the present invention, when using it for steaming, attach the lower pot to the lower opening of the container body, fill it with water, cover the wire mesh of the container body with a cloth, and place the lid on the upper opening. and put it on fire. After the steam has risen sufficiently, the food is placed on the cloth. In this case, since the container body and the lower pan are in communication through the wire mesh, the steam generated in the lower pan can fill the container body and steam the food. Next, when using this broiler/steamer for grilling, remove the lower pot, heat only the container body, and place the food on a wire mesh. In this case, since the lower part of the container body is open, the firepower can directly act on the food to bake the food.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded explanatory diagram showing the roaster/steamer of this embodiment, FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the state in which it is used as a steamer, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the state in which it is used as a roaster. Explain. The roaster/steamer A of this embodiment mainly includes a container body 1, a lower pan 2, and a lid 3. The container body 1 serves as a storage portion for cooking food F, is formed in a cylindrical shape from a stainless steel plate, and has an upper opening 10 and a lower opening 11. Further, a protrusion 13 is formed in an annular shape below the inner circumferential wall 12, and detachably locks a wire mesh 14 inserted through the upper opening 10. In the figure, 15 is a handle, and 16 is a cloth.

[0007] The lower pot 2 is for filling water 20 to generate steam, and is formed of a stainless steel plate with an upper opening 21 having a size that fits the lower part of the container body 1 almost without any gaps. A protrusion 23 is formed in an annular shape above the inner circumferential wall 22, and detachably locks the container body 1 fitted into the upper opening 21. In the figure, 24 is a handle, and 25 is a stove that serves as a heat source.

The lid 3 has an upper opening 1 of the container body 1.
0, and has an edge 30 that is removably fitted onto the upper part of the container body 1, and a handle 31.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. First, when steaming cooking, as shown in Figure 2, the container body 1
Fit the lower pot 2 to the bottom of the stove, fill it with water, and place it on the top plate of the stove 25. Then, cover the wire mesh 14 with a cloth 16,
When steam starts to come out from the lower pot 2, food F such as sweet potatoes and meat buns is placed on the cloth 16, and then the upper opening 10 of the container body 1 is closed with the lid 3. In this case, since the container body 1 and the lower pan 2 communicate through the wire mesh 14,
The food F on the side of the container body 1 can be steamed with the steam generated in the lower pan 2.

[0010] When grilling next time, use only the container body 1 from which the lower pan 2 has been removed, as shown in FIG. The container body 1 is placed on the top plate of the stove 25 with the lower opening 11 facing down. Then, food F such as rice cake or dried fish can be placed on the wire mesh 14 and baked. In this case, the inside of the container body 1 directly receives radiant heat from the top plate of the stove 25 through the lower opening 11, so that the food F can be grilled. Incidentally, a plurality of wire meshes 14 may be provided and the wire meshes may be replaced when grilling fish or the like.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above,
The specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the present invention includes any design changes that do not depart from the gist of the invention. For example, in the embodiment, the container body 1, lower pan 2, etc. are made of stainless steel plates, but
The material is not limited to this, and a tin plate, an aluminum plate, etc. can be selected as appropriate.

Further, in the embodiment, the wire mesh 14 is engaged by forming an annular protrusion 13 on the inner circumferential wall 12 of the container body 1, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may also be stopped.

[0013] The lower pan 2 also has a protrusion 23 on the inner peripheral wall 22.
Although it is assumed that the container body 1 is secured to the container body 1 by forming the container body 1 in an annular shape, the present invention is not limited to this, and a protrusion may be formed. It may also be locked.

[0014] In addition, in the embodiment, when cooking with the container body 1, the container body 1 is placed on the top of the stove, but the container body 1 is not limited to this, and may be used by hanging it on a gas stove or the like. Can be done. In this case, as shown in Figure 4, to avoid burning the food directly with a strong gas flame,
A heating plate 4 made of an iron plate may be attached to the lower opening 11 of the heating plate 4, and the bottom surface 40 of the heating plate 4 may be heated to cook the food F using red-hot radiant heat. 41 in the diagram
4 is a small opening provided in the bottom portion 40, 42 is a fitting portion with the container body 1, and 43 is a gas stove.

Further, in the embodiment, the wire mesh 14 is attached to the container body 1.
Although it is described that the device is detachably attached to the device, the device is not limited to this, and may be fixed.

[0016]

Effects of the Invention As described above, the roaster/steamer of the present invention has a container main body which is open at the top and bottom and is provided with a wire gauze for holding food inside the cylindrical interior, and a container main body with an upper opening. The structure includes a lid that is removably attached to the container body, and a lower pot that is detachably fitted to the lower opening of the container body, so that it can be used as a steamer by fitting the lower pan to the container body. Can be cooked. In addition, the lower pot can be removed from the container body and used as a broiler for grilling. Furthermore, since the structure is simple, anyone can use it in two ways: a roaster and a steamer. Furthermore, since heat is received from the lower opening, effects such as being able to utilize the thermal power of a stove or the like can be obtained.
