[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a steamer used for various steamed dishes such as chawanmushi.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a steamer used for various steamed dishes such as chawanmushi and steamed maimai, water is placed in a kettle, boiled, and a breathable support is placed on top of it, and steamed on this. It has been known for a long time that objects are placed, but in kitchens in various facilities such as hotels, restaurants, schools, and hospitals, steam is generated separately by a steam generating means, and steam is introduced and used. Is widely used.

In such a steamer, the steam generating means is not directly and integrally attached to the steamer itself, so that a desired number of steamers can be easily installed at a desired position and reliability of an electromagnetic boiler or the like can be improved. There is an advantage that it can be used with a high degree of freedom by connecting it to a steam generating means common to all steamers that is flexible and installed at a predetermined position.

[0004] Such a steamer usually has a steam room having an article entrance / exit door and an article support shelf installed in one or a plurality of stages inside the steam room. A steam introduction part for introducing the introduced steam and an exhaust part for discharging the gas in the room accompanying the introduction of the steam or an exhaust part also serving as a drain discharge port are provided.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, according to such a conventional steamer, there is a problem that dew condensation occurs on various parts of the inner surface of the steaming room and on the support shelf, and the dew drops on the article to be steamed below to hinder cooking. In order to solve this problem, the inner ceiling of the steam room should be tilted toward the back or both sides, and the food to be cooked should be covered with a lid or covered with a chemical film beforehand. Wrapping is done.

However, even if the inner ceiling is inclined as described above, the dew condensation water generated on the lower surface of the erected support shelf falls on the article below it, and if it is tried to prevent this, the support shelf itself It is also necessary to incline it, but it is difficult to place the item on the dish. The method of covering the dish to be cooked with a lid in advance or wrapping it with a film requires too much time before and after steaming because of the attachment and detachment.

Therefore, the present invention provides a steamer in which water drops are prevented from falling from a steaming room ceiling or a erected support shelf to an object to be steamed or suppressed to a practically negligible level. With the goal.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a steam room having an article access door and one or a plurality of article support shelves installed therein, a steam introducing section for introducing steam into the steam room, and an exhaust from the steam room. The steaming chamber is provided with a heater for heating the plate body for suppressing dew condensation on the lower surface of the plate body along the upper surface of the plate body forming the inner ceiling thereof. The above-mentioned support shelf provides a steamer characterized by having a heater for heating the support shelf for suppressing dew condensation on at least the lower surface thereof.

Although dew condensation may occur on the inner surface of the steam-chamber door, the left and right inner surfaces of the steam-chamber, and the inner-rear surface, the water droplets generated there flow down to the steam and are steamed. It does not fall on food items. Therefore, the heater for preventing the dew condensation on these surfaces is not necessary for the purpose of the present invention. However, it does not matter if it is provided. If a heater is installed to prevent condensation on the inner surface of the door, the problem of water droplets falling onto the floor in front of the steamer and contaminating the surrounding area when the door is opened or closed can be avoided. There is no need for a water receiving means with a door, which was used in the past.

[0010]

[Action]

 According to the steamer of the present invention, the object to be cooked is stored and arranged on the article support shelf in the steaming room and, in some cases, on the floor surface by opening and closing the steaming room door. On the other hand, the separately generated steam is introduced into the steaming chamber from the steam introducing unit. With the introduction of the steam, the existing gas in the steaming chamber is sequentially expelled from the exhaust unit to the outside, and thus the steaming chamber is maintained at a desired steaming temperature, and the stored items are steamed and cooked.

During this steaming, the plate constituting the inner ceiling of the steaming room and at least the lower surface of each article support shelf are heated by the heaters respectively attached to them to prevent dew condensation from occurring, or Suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent or suppress water droplets from falling onto the articles arranged below the inner ceiling and the articles arranged below the respective support shelves, and a desired steamed dish is completed.
