BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pottery cooker for heating and cooking a dish placed on a plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, so-called grilled meat dedicated to grilled meat and a versatile hot plate have been used for cooking grilled meat mainly.

The BBQ has a heater on the upper part of the main body, a water tray on the lower part, and an aluminum or iron plate placed on the upper surface of the heater. This plate has a plurality of holes, and the radiant heat transmitted from the heater through the holes and the conductive heat of the plate are used to heat the food such as meat on the plate. At this time, the oil generated from the food is dropped into the water in the water tray provided at the bottom to prevent smoke generation.

Usually, this type of grilled meat exclusive device is not provided with a temperature controller, and the heater is in a continuous energized state.

On the other hand, for the hot plate, a plate having a flat bottom surface and a flange on the periphery is set on the sheath heater, and after connecting a power source, a temperature control knob on the top surface of the main body is set to turn on electricity. Cooking is done by placing cooked food such as meat on a plate.

[0006]

When meat is grilled, it is necessary to first grill the surface at a high temperature to form a film on the surface so that the internal umami does not escape to the outside. It is also necessary to remove the oil from the meat from the baking surface to prevent the smoke from being generated by the oil and to prevent the meat from sticking.

However, the conventional structure described above has the following problems.

In the BBQ, the plate used is
It has a plurality of holes for receiving the radiant heat transmitted from the heater. This hole occupies about 30% of the plate area, which is a hindrance to heat capacity reduction and heat conduction. Also, the radiant heat from the heater that is going to be received by this hole is 1.3
Energy of about kW is not enough.

Further, since the plate is not provided with a temperature control function, the plate cannot be coated with fluorine, and in many cases, a plate coated with heat resistant iron is used. Also, even if fluorine coating is applied, it is inevitable that the specifications will conflict with the improvement of cooking performance, such as preventing the temperature of the fluorine-coated surface from rising. In particular, when the plate is made of iron, the temperature rises slowly, the heat distribution is poor, and moreover, it is heavy and has many problems. Further, it is inconvenient because it is not possible to adjust the degree of burning during cooking or to keep the meat warm during the latter half of cooking.

A flat plate typified by a hot plate has a problem in that the oil coming out of the meat cannot escape and the oil is accumulated around the meat on the plate to make the meat sticky. Also, although it has a temperature control function, there are problems such as the space of the main body is large for housing the temperature controller, the area of the plate is limited, the large size is not convenient, and the cost is high. Have Further, since it is necessary to cook at a relatively high temperature, it is necessary to use a high-power heater to keep the plate temperature high. At this time, the heat generated by the heater raises the temperature of the heat shield plate and the body constituting the main body, and it is necessary to prevent the performance centering on durability from being affected.
