Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooking vessel for microwave oven by which a food such as popcorn accommodated in the vessel can be cooked uniformly and by which electric consumption can be saved due to shortened cooking time. SOLUTION: A cooking vessel has a main body 30a with a multiple-plane part 31a on the bottom surface and a vessel lid 30 which covers an aperture of the main body for exhausting hot air produced during cooking from the main body to outside and for preventing thrown out of the food from the main body to outside. By such constitution, the food such as popcorn accommodated inside can be cooked uniformly by means of high frequency wave injected through the bottom surface at various angles.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooking container which can easily cook various foods and drinks such as popcorn in a cooking chamber of a microwave oven. The present invention relates to a cooking container for a microwave oven.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional popcorn cooking container,
As shown in FIG. 9, there was used a paper pack 10 in which oil such as margarine was coated on the back surface and corn grains P were vacuum-packaged inside thereof.

[0003]

However, since such a conventional paper pack 10 has a structure in which a high frequency cannot be incident at multiple angles, the corn particles P vacuum-packed in the paper pack 10 as a whole are not contained. In some cases, the corn grains P that were not cooked may remain in the paper pack 10 after the predetermined cooking time, because the corn grains P could not be uniformly heated. Therefore, there is a problem that when the food is heated again for complete cooking, the popcorn P that has already been cooked sticks and the cooking time is extended, resulting in an increase in power consumption.

Further, since the paper pack 10 is thrown away after being used once, there is a problem that it causes environmental pollution.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to eat and drink various kinds of popcorn and the like in which a high frequency is incident at multiple angles and is housed in a container. An object of the present invention is to provide a cooking container for a microwave oven capable of uniformly heating and cooking an object, and shortening the cooking time by reducing the consumption of electric power by preventing granular corn from remaining after cooking.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the cooking container for a microwave oven according to the present invention has various foods and drinks such as popcorn housed therein by high frequency waves which are incident at multiple angles through the bottom surface. In order to uniformly heat and cook, the container body having a polyhedron portion formed on the bottom surface, and the hot air generated during cooking of food and drink such as popcorn is discharged to the outside from the container body and the food and drink such as popcorn is contained in the container. Be careful not to jump out of the body
It is characterized by comprising a container lid covering the opening of the container body.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a cooking container for a microwave oven according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, high frequency waves are incident on the bottom surface of the container body 30a at multiple angles, so that the container body 30a is exposed.
A polyhedron portion 31a is formed for guiding various foods and drinks such as popcorn P contained in a so as to be uniformly heated and cooked, and a flange portion 32a for attaching the container lid 40 to the upper opening thereof. Are formed.

That is, the polyhedron portion 31a is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 5, the container main body 30a is formed so as to project outward from the bottom surface and is composed of a plurality of protrusions having a triangular pyramid shape or a pentagonal pyramid shape.

A plurality of lugs 33 are attached to a plurality of corners at the lower end of the polyhedron portion 31a in order to prevent abrasion and sliding of the container body 30a.

As shown in FIG. 1, the container lid 40 discharges the hot air generated during cooking of various foods and drinks such as popcorn P to the outside of the container body 30a, and the various foods and drinks such as popcorn P from the container body 30a. A plurality of large and small holes 41 are provided at predetermined intervals on the flat surface so as not to be projected to the outside. Further, on the inner peripheral edge of the flange portion 42 of the container lid 40, the container lid 40 is separated from the container body 30a only by an artificial force,
At least one strong pressure protrusion 43 is projected.

The container lid 40 may be joined to the container body 30a by fitting or hooking.

Further, the container body 30a and the container lid 4
0 is made of one kind of highly heat resistant urea resin or synthetic resin.

In FIG. 8, reference numeral 21 is a cavity, 22 is a turntable, 23 is a magnetron, and 24.
Is a waveguide.

Next, a method of cooking popcorn P using the cooking container of the present invention will be described.

That is, when cooking popcorn P,
First, a certain amount of corn grains is put into the container body 30a to close the opening of the container body 30a with the container lid 40, and then the container body 30a is placed on the turntable 22 in the cavity 21 as shown in FIG. Then, the microwave oven 20 is operated.

When power is applied to the microwave oven 20, the high frequency generated by the oscillation of the magnetron 23 is generated by the waveguide 2
The cavity 2 is guided by 4 and along the direction of the dotted arrow.
1 is introduced into the cavity 21 through the upper hole,
Cooking is performed by irradiating the periphery of the side surface of the container main body 30a placed on the turntable 22 or the container lid 40 and permeating or absorbing into the popcorn P housed in the container main body 30a.

Here, the high frequency wave radiated to the bottom surface of the container body 30a is incident at multiple angles by the polyhedral portion 31a formed at the center of the bottom surface of the container body 30a.
Therefore, a certain amount of popcorn P stored in the container body 30a can be uniformly cooked in a short time.

In the above description, the microwave cooking container in which the polyhedron portion 31a is projectingly formed on the outer surface of the bottom surface of the container body 30a has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this and, for example, as shown in FIG. The container body 30b
The inner surface of the bottom surface of the may be formed with a polygonal body portion 31b composed of a plurality of concave portions of triangular pyramid or pentagonal pyramid shape.
As shown in, the polyhedron portion 31c including a plurality of spherical concave portions may be formed on the inner surface of the bottom surface of the container body 30c.

[0020]

As described above, according to the cooking container for a microwave oven of the present invention, the polyhedron portion is formed on the bottom surface of the cooking container main body so that the high frequency waves are incident at multiple angles. Various foods and drinks such as popcorn stored can be uniformly heated and cooked, and the cooking time can be shortened and the amount of power consumption can be saved without leaving corn grains of unfinished cooking. Furthermore, since the container of the present invention can be repeatedly used, environmental pollution due to a one-time disposable container as in the past can be prevented.
