Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention is a cooking utensil, especially a stick-shaped cucumber cut in the longitudinal direction that is served as sushi or salad (hereinafter referred to as sushi, etc.). Concerning cooking utensils for making.

(Prior Art) For sushi and the like called Kiyu-rimaki, stick-shaped Kiyu-uri cut into six or eight parts in the longitudinal direction is used.

Traditionally, when cooking cucumbers shaped like this, a craftsman would use a knife to cut both ends of the cucumbers, and then
It was made by dividing it into six or eight parts longitudinally and then cutting off the soft core.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, with the above-mentioned cooking method, it takes a considerable amount of time to cook a single Kiyuuri, so it is not suitable for chain restaurants that require large quantities of Kiyuuri. Large sushi shops or restaurants in Japan require many craftsmen, and therefore, in some cases, it is necessary to prepare the food in advance.

However, in recent years, it has been difficult to retain such craftsmen, and there has been excessive competition on price, so there is currently a need for rationalization even in this field of cooking.

The present invention was developed in view of the current situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cooking utensil that can easily and quickly cook cucumbers into the above-mentioned shape.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The gist of the present invention is to provide a cooking utensil for cutting cucumbers in the longitudinal direction and cooking them in the form of sticks, which includes at least a cylindrical shape into which cucumbers are inserted. a cutter for longitudinally cutting the lily pad formed integrally with or integrally attached to the cylindrical body; The cutter has a cylindrical blade formed in the center, and is arranged radially from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical blade at a position retracted toward the tip side from the cylindrical blade. The cylindrical blade has a tapered blade portion with a small diameter formed on the proximal end side, and the distal end side is formed in a continuous cylindrical shape. and cooking utensils.

(Function) Therefore, the cooking utensil configured in this manner can be obtained by inserting the cucumber into the cylindrical body and pressing the cucumber from the proximal end to the distal end with the extrusion rod. From the tip side, the core part is cut into a cylindrical shape and the circumferential part is cut (divided) into a cylindrical shape using the cylindrical blade of the cutter.Furthermore, on the tip side, the cylindrical cut cucumber is cut into radial shapes. A plurality of blade-shaped blades arranged on the holder cut the yuri into multiple pieces and cook them into stick-shaped cucumbers.

That is, by simply inserting the cucumber into the cylindrical body and pressing it from the rear with an extrusion rod, it is possible to easily produce stick-shaped cucumbers cut in the longitudinal direction.

Further, when cutting the above-mentioned lily pad, since the cylindrical blade of the cutter and the proximal end of the blade-like blade are arranged with a difference in position, the cutter can be cut with a small force. Moreover, since the base end of the cutter's cylindrical blade is located closer to the proximal end than the base end of the blade-like blade, the core of the cutter is first cut from the surrounding parts, and then the cylindrical Due to the tapered blade part formed on the base end of the blade, the cylindrical blade smoothly expands in the diametrical direction, and the thickness of this cylindrical blade allows it to expand in the outward diametrical expansion force. Since cutting is performed using blade-like blades arranged radially in the cross-sectional direction, it is possible to cut cleanly even with the blade-like blade, even if the blade is somewhat uncut.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is an overall perspective view of the cooking utensil according to the present embodiment, Fig. 2 is a side sectional view taken in the - arrow direction of Fig. 1 showing the internal structure, and Fig. 3 is a - arrow view of Fig. 2.
FIG. 4 is a view taken along the - arrow in FIG. 2, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the structure of the cutter.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical body for inserting the snail, and in this embodiment, the cylindrical body 1 is formed into a cylindrical body having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the sluice. Reference numeral 2 denotes a cutter that is inserted into the tip of the cylindrical body 1, and this cutter 2 has a cylindrical blade 2a formed in the center, and a flat blade-shaped blade 2b integrally formed around the cylindrical blade 2a. The above cylindrical blade 2
a is closer to the proximal end than the blade-shaped blade 2b (Figs. 2 and 5)
It is formed so as to protrude toward the right end (in the figure). Further, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 5, the cylindrical blade 2a has a wall thickness that gradually becomes thinner as the outer wall side goes toward the base end side, forming a blade portion at the base end side. The overall outer shape is tapered with a narrower diameter on the proximal end side, and the distal end side is formed into a cylindrical shape that is continuous with the tapered outer shape. In the figure, reference numeral 3 denotes an extrusion rod whose distal end side is inserted from the proximal side of the cylindrical body 1 and presses the tube from the proximal side to the distal side. A pressing part 3a that slides closely in the inner hole of the cylindrical body is formed, and a gripping piece 3b is formed at the rear end, and the pressing part 3a and gripping piece 3b are connected by a rod 3c to form an integral body. It's summery. Further, in the figure, reference numeral 4 denotes a guide fitting for centering that is engaged on the proximal end side of the cutter 2 of the cylindrical body 1, and the outer diameter of the guide fitting 4 is the inner diameter of the concave groove 1b of the cylindrical body 1. A guide piece 4 made of a spring material is formed to be slightly smaller in size and has a tapered shape that projects inward at the tip end and is made of a spring material and is movable outwardly.
A plurality of a are arranged around the circumference. The guide fitting 4 has an elastic circumferential portion so as to be engaged with a concave groove 1b formed on the inner circumferential surface of the distal end of the cylindrical body 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a mounting fitting for mounting the cutter on the cylindrical body 1. A flange piece 5a for locking the tip of the cutter 2 is formed on the circumference of one end surface, and the inner circumferential surface of the other end is provided with the above-described metal fitting. A male thread 1 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tip side of the cylindrical body 1
A female thread 5b is formed to be screwed into the hole a.

Thus, the present cooking utensil configured as described above functions as follows when cooking cucumbers.

That is, when the extrusion rod 3 is pulled out from the cylindrical body 1 and a sluice with both longitudinal ends cut off is inserted from the proximal end, the tip of the slug will touch the guide piece 4c of the guide fitting 4. is pressed from the outer circumferential side by the cylindrical body 1, and the cylindrical body 1 is brought into a state in which the opening substantially coincides with the central axis of the cylindrical body 1. In this state, when the extrusion rod 3 presses the tip further toward the tip, the tip of the cutter 2 has a soft core in the center that is relatively cylindrical in shape due to the cylindrical blade 2a of the cutter 2. The hard part is cut (divided) into cylindrical shapes. Further, when the cutter is pressed toward the tip side, the cylindrical cut lily is vertically divided into a plurality of pieces by a plurality of radially arranged blade-shaped blades 2b, and then the cutter is cut into a plurality of pieces. It is cooked in the shape of a cucumber. (In general, the core of the cucumber is discarded at sushi restaurants, etc.) In addition, this cooking utensil can be inserted into the cylindrical body 1 regardless of the thickness of the cucumber. For example, even if the thickness of the tube is thin, the axis of the cylindrical body 1 and the axis of the tube can be roughly aligned with each other by the guide fittings, i.e.,
It can be cooked to the desired beautiful state. Further, in this embodiment, the cylindrical blade 2a of the cutter is
As mentioned above, the wall thickness gradually becomes thinner as the outer wall side goes toward the proximal end, forming a blade portion at the proximal end,
Since the overall outer shape is tapered with a narrower diameter on the proximal end, the cylindrical blade that passes through the cylindrical blade smoothly expands in the diameter direction, making it easier to cut the blade-like blade on the distal end. are doing.

As mentioned above, the cooking utensils according to this example include:
The above cooking can be done extremely easily by simply inserting a cucumber with both ends cut off into a cylindrical body and pressing the cucumber from the proximal end to the distal end with an extrusion rod.

In the above embodiment, a structure was described in which the cucumber is divided into six parts, but this division can be done by increasing or decreasing the number of blade-shaped blades of the cutter depending on the purpose of cooking etc. , it can be configured to create stick-like snails of any thickness.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that you can also cook things other than cucumbers in the same way, such as carrots, which are also served in salads, if they are processed in advance to a thickness that can be inserted into the cylindrical body. do not have.

(Effects) As described above, according to the present invention, stick-shaped cucumbers vertically divided into a plurality of segments in the longitudinal direction can be easily produced in an extremely short period of time.

Moreover, unlike in the past, even if you are not a chef,
Since anyone, even a child, can cook yellow cucumbers, the unit cost of cooking can be reduced.

Therefore, sushi restaurants or restaurants that require large quantities of stick-shaped oysters do not particularly need a large number of craftsmen for this purpose, as is the case in the past. Furthermore, in the present invention, the cylindrical blade has a tapered blade part formed on the proximal end side, and the distal end side is formed in a continuous cylindrical shape, and is further retracted from the cylindrical blade toward the distal end side. Since it has multiple blade-like blades arranged radially, the cylindrical blade that passes through the cylindrical blade smoothly expands in the direction of diameter, making it easier to cut with the blade-like blade on the tip side, and cutting cleanly with a small amount of force. It is something that will be done.
