Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an egg from bursting by the buildup of internal pressure by putting the egg in a pair of upper and lower elastic bodies having opposite recessed portions that match the egg's shape, enclosing the elastic bodies in a container, and heating them in a microwave oven. CONSTITUTION:A pair of upper and lower molds 1, 2 are manufactured from elastic bodies, each having a recessed portion 3 that matches the shape of egg 7. An egg 7 is enclosed in the molds 1 and 2, and the molds are enclosed in a container 4 and the lid 5 of the container 4 is closed and locked with a claw 6. A plurality of holes 8 for relieving internal pressure are formed in the container 4. The container 4 enclosing the egg 7 is set in a microwave oven and heated by microwaves. As the temperature of the egg 7 rises, the internal pressure of the egg 7 builds up, while the molds 1, 2 made of elastic material pressurize the overall periphery of the egg 7 from outside. Thus, the egg 7 is prevented from bursting and can be boiled good in about three to four minutes.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to boiling eggs in a microwave oven.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to make a boiled egg, it is necessary to boil even one egg, put the egg in it and boil for 10 minutes or more. 2 considering the preparation of the pan and the cleaning up
It takes more than 0 minutes and the fuel cost for boiling water is wasted. Furthermore, there is the trouble of using water. Even when boiled eggs are made in a microwave oven, there are the following problems. Even if you try to make a boiled egg in a microwave oven, it will explode. Then break the egg, take out the contents, put it in a container, and microwave. Therefore, you can only make fried eggs, not boiled eggs. Furthermore, the yolk part ruptures, so you have to break the thin skin of the yolk and microwave it.

[0003]

Generally, when an egg is placed in a microwave oven, it is microwave-heated, and especially the inside containing water is rapidly heated and the temperature rises. As a result, the internal pressure rises rapidly and the shell cannot withstand the internal pressure and bursts.

[0004]

The method of making a boiled egg in a microwave oven according to the present invention is as follows. Even if the inside of the egg is heated by the microwave of the microwave oven and the pressure is increased, It means that if you press it from the outside of the egg, it will not burst. For that purpose, the egg is wrapped around with an elastic body, and pressure is applied from the outside of the egg to suppress the pressure of the rupture inside.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 of FIG. Is the lower part of the elastic body that wraps the egg,
2. Is the upper part of the elastic body, 3. Is a recess for inserting eggs.
1. In FIG. And 2. Is an elastic body placed in a container, Container for eggs and elastic body, Is the lid of the container, 6.
Claws to lock the lid, 7. Is an egg, 8. Is a hole made in the container for releasing the internal pressure.

As shown in FIG. 2, the elastic body 1. Put in a container, put an egg in a recessed portion, and from above, an elastic body 2. Cover. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the lid is closed and the elastic body is compressed. By doing so, the egg is wrapped in an elastic body,
Elasticity can apply pressure to the entire circumference of the egg.

When the container is placed in a microwave oven in this state,
Due to microwave heating, the temperature inside the egg rises steadily, and the pressure inside the egg rises accordingly, but the egg is pressed from the outside by the pressure of the elastic body and the egg does not burst.

According to the experiment, the eggs do not burst in 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the output of the microwave oven, and boiled eggs can be successfully formed. It takes about 4 minutes at 200W to make boiled eggs best.

[Brief description of drawings]

FIG. 1 is an elastic body for applying pressure from the outside of the egg of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a state in which the lid is not closed by the container in which the elastic body and the eggs are placed.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the lid of the container in FIG. 2 is closed and pressure is applied from the outside of the egg.
