[Detailed description of the device]

[Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a cooking container that has a high-frequency heating element that absorbs high-frequency waves and generates heat, and that stores food to be cooked and is inserted into a heating chamber of a microwave oven.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, as a kind of cooking container of this kind, there has been known one in which a turntable in a heating chamber and a lid covering the turntable are made of a high-frequency heating element (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-204386). This microwave oven is a single-function microwave oven that only performs high-frequency cooking without an electric heater, etc., but the high-frequency heating element provided on the turntable and lid absorbs microwaves emitted from the magnetron to generate heat. Foods such as meat stored between the two due to heat generation are roasted and cooked from the front and back.

However, since the above-mentioned conventional microwave oven accommodates food by leaving a space between the turntable provided with the high-frequency heating element and the lid, the lid normally contacts the food. However, there is a drawback in that food cannot be cooked by direct contact with the high-frequency heating element to brown it, and the cooking effect of the high-frequency heating element becomes worse as the food is separated from the food. Also, since the high-frequency heating element is integrally formed on the turntable and lid, if you try to use high-frequency cooking with the microwave of the magnetron, the turntable and lid will usually be made of enamel finish steel plate or heat-resistant glass. It has to be replaced with a new one, which is troublesome and has the drawback of increasing the number of attached parts. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cooking container that can be easily put in and taken out from a heating chamber of a microwave oven with a simple structure and can selectively cook the food contained therein in an oven or efficiently with a browned grill. .

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the cooking container of the present invention has a bottom portion made of a net or a perforated plate at one end of a cylindrical body in which the food to be cooked is inserted into the heating chamber of the microwave oven. A lid which has a main body provided with a high-frequency heating element that absorbs high-frequency waves and generates heat on the bottom portion, and a top portion provided with the high-frequency heating element on a net or a perforated plate, and is fitted to the bottom portion and the open end of the cylindrical body. With the bottom of the body placed in a normal position to accommodate food, the open end of the body is covered with the lid, while cooking the food in the oven, the inverted body of the bottom of the food The food is covered with the lid so that the top of the food comes into contact with the top of the food, and the food is grilled with a brown texture.

[Action]

Now, when cooking food in the oven, with the main body of the cooking container in the normal position, place the above food on the bottom inner surface consisting of a net or a perforated plate in the main body, and at the opening end of the main body, a space between the food and Open and fit a lid with a top made of net or perforated plate. Next, the cooking container containing the food as described above is inserted into the heating chamber of the microwave oven and irradiated with high frequency. Then, the high-frequency heating elements provided on the net or the perforated plate at the bottom of the main body and the lid top absorb the above-mentioned high frequencies to generate heat, and the food housed inside is oven-cooked from the front and back sides. Next, when cooking food with a browned grill, while the body of the cooking container is inverted, the food is placed on the outer surface of the bottom of the main body made of a net or a perforated plate, and the top of the net or the perforated plate is placed on this food. The lids are brought into contact and fitted. next,
The cooking container sandwiching the food in this way is irradiated with the high frequency in the heating chamber as described above. Then, the high-frequency heating elements at the bottom of the main body and the lid top absorb the high frequency to generate heat, and the food sandwiched between the two is cooked on the grill from the front and back sides. In addition, in order to cook food normally by high-frequency heating, it suffices to insert the food directly into the heating chamber without using a cooking container.
