JPH09103374A - Metal mesh tray for cooking - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable removal of a metal mesh tray from a cooking pot with bare hands even when being heated. SOLUTION: At two locations being confronted to each other on a flange 14 of a metal mesh tray 12 for cooking, a foldable handle 16 is attached, and on the handle 16, a tube 17 made of a synthetic resin of a favorable heat insulating property, e.g. silicone is fitted. After cooking is done by placing the metal mesh tray 12 for cooking in a lid for cooking, when the metal mesh 12 for cooking is lifted, the handles 16 are gripped by fingers. Since the synthetic resin of a favorable heat insulating property is fitted on the handle 16, even when the metal mesh tray 12 is lifted by gripping with fingers, the fingers do not feel much heat.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wire mesh plate for cooking which is used by being built in a cooking pot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a pot is used as a steamer, a steaming dish 2 is arranged at the bottom of the pot 1 as shown in FIG.
It is usual that a small amount of water W is put in the bottom of the pan 1, the food F to be steamed is placed on the steaming dish 2, and the food F is steamed using steam generated by boiling when the pan 1 is heated.

However, according to the research conducted by the inventors of the present invention, in this method of placing the steaming dish 2 near the bottom of the pan 1, the boiling water W immediately below the steaming dish 2 reaches the steaming dish 2. Since the hot water comes into contact with the food F, it was found that there is a drawback that the taste of the food F escapes into the hot water W as in the case of boiling.

Further, in this conventional method, if the steamed food material F is to be taken out so as not to be over-steamed, the food material F must be sequentially taken out by a method such as sandwiching it with chopsticks, which can be used for urgent cooking. It is extremely annoying in the middle.

In order to eliminate such drawbacks, the inventors have developed a method of suspending a wire net tray using a flange on a stepped portion that supports the lid at the upper end of the pot, which has not been possible in the past. It succeeded in enabling such cooking.

According to this method, the food can be taken out without being over-steamed by removing the lid and removing it from the pan together with the wire mesh plate, and the food can be exposed to the cold outside atmosphere with one touch. It will be possible. When steaming the next ingredient with the same boiling water, remove the wire mesh dish from the pan, pour the food into dishes, put the next ingredient in the wire mesh dish, and set it in the pan. It is possible to continue steaming.

In this case, since the wire mesh plate is located at the upper part of the pan, there is an advantage that even if the amount of water is increased, boiling water does not splash on the wire mesh plate and the taste can be prevented from passing through. . Also, by increasing the amount of hot water, once boiling occurs, remove the pan from the heat to keep it warm.
Since it can be gently steamed at a temperature slightly lower than 0 ° C, it has been proved that the taste and aroma of the steamed food material are far superior to those obtained by using the conventional method.

[0008]

However, there is a serious problem in this method, that is, when the wire net tray is picked up with a finger and taken out, the wire net tray is at a high temperature of almost 100 ° C. In other words, when the flange of the wire mesh plate is picked up with a finger, the metal flange having good heat conduction collects heat from the local area where the finger touches, which may cause burns. Of course, there is no problem if you work with gloves, but it is extremely troublesome to wear gloves each time during busy cooking. Further, although it suffices to apply a cloth or the like to the flange to take out the wire net tray, there is a drawback that it is difficult to hold the wire net tray and that the cloth touches the steamed food material.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a wire mesh dish for cooking which can be taken out from the cooking pot with bare hands.

[0010]

A wire mesh plate for cooking according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a wire mesh plate which is suspended in a cooking pot for use, and is provided on the upper edge of the wire mesh plate. It is characterized in that a handle having a heat insulating property is provided.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a state in which a cooking wire mesh plate according to the present invention is set in a cooking pot.
The wire mesh plate 1 for cooking is provided on the step 11a above the cooking pot 11.
2 are suspended. The dish-shaped main body 13 of the cooking wire mesh tray 12 is made of wire mesh, and an annular flange 14 formed by pressing a metal plate is attached to the upper edge of the cooking wire mesh tray 12. The edge of the flange 14 protruding outside the flange 14 is engaged with the step 11a. I am fit. Further, the cooking pot 11 is used by covering the lid portion 15.

As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 2 and the enlarged perspective view of the essential parts of FIG. 3, a handle 16 made of wire is foldably attached to two opposite positions on the flange 14 of the wire net tray 12 for cooking. A tube 17 made of synthetic resin, which is made of, for example, silicon rubber and has a good heat insulating property, is attached to the handle 16.

Therefore, the wire mesh plate 12 for cooking is covered with the lid 11 for cooking.
When the lid part 15 is put in the container and used, the handle 16 is tilted inward as shown in FIG.
In order to lift, raise the handle 16 as shown in FIG. 4 and squeeze it with your finger. The handle 16 has a tube 1 with good heat insulation properties.
Since 7 is inserted, even if you pick it up with your finger and lift it,
Although heat is temporarily transferred to the finger, the temperature inside the tube is lowered to a temperature at which the heat is not felt so much, so there is no risk of the finger being burned.

Further, when storing a plurality of cooking wire net trays 12, there is an advantage that the storage space can be saved by tilting the grips 16 outward and stacking them as shown in FIG.

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the flange 14
A handle 21 is fixed to the inside of the wire net tray 12 by spot welding or the like. The tube 17 is attached to the handle 21 as in the first embodiment.

Compared to the first embodiment, this embodiment is simpler in structure by fixing the handle 21, but the wire net tray 12
Cannot be stacked.

FIG. 7 shows the third embodiment, in which the handle 22 is raised and fixed on the flange 14.
In this case, there is no problem in stacking, but since the handle 22 is raised during cooking, it is limited to the case where there is a sufficient space between the handle 22 and the lid portion 15. In order to reliably fit the space between the parts 15, work precision is required.

FIG. 8 shows a fourth embodiment of the flange 14
A handle 23 is welded to the base 23, and a heat insulating material 24 made of a resin such as silicon is adhered or molded in a plate shape on the handle 23. Also in this case, the distance from the lid 15 may be a problem.

[0019]

As described above, in the wire mesh dish for cooking according to the present invention, the handle attached to the flange is provided with the material having the heat insulating property. Therefore, even if the flange is heated, the handle can be touched with a finger. Can be lifted.
