Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric cooker such as a fish roaster.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, an electric cooker such as a fish roaster is provided with a heating chamber having a heating source such as a heater for heating and cooking the food on a cooking net, and the heating chamber is provided below the food in the heating chamber. A saucer for holding the oil from the food is installed to cook the food such as fish, and the oil dropped from the fish or the like as the heating progresses is placed in the lower saucer. It is designed to be fastened.

[0003]

However, in the case of this configuration, there is a problem that the radiant heat from the heating source directly acts on the oil in the pan and the oil in the pan is heated and smokes.

Therefore, a method has been generally adopted in which a predetermined amount of water is filled in the above-mentioned saucer to prevent the generation of oily smoke. However, when water is filled, the water evaporates and humidifies the food. There is a problem that a problem arises and good cooking cannot be performed.

The invention of this application has been made to solve such a problem. In the above-described electric cooker, a heat reflecting plate having an oil drain hole between the cooking net and a tray is provided. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric cooker in which the efficiency of heating the food is improved by providing the same, and the heating of the oil in the tray by the heating source is prevented.

[0006]

The invention of this application is provided with the following means for solving the problems in order to achieve the above object.

[0007] That is, the invention of this application includes a heating chamber having a heating source for heating and cooking the food on the cooking net, and the oil discharged from the food is provided below the food in the heating chamber. In an electric cooker provided with a holding tray, a heat reflecting plate having an oil drain hole is provided between the cooking net and the tray, and radiant heat from the heating source toward the tray is reflected on the food to cook. It is configured to improve the heating efficiency of the object and to prevent the emission of heat to the oil in the pan to reduce the generation of oily smoke.

[0008] Therefore, according to this configuration, unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to put water in the saucer, and the humidification of the cooked food is prevented, so that the finish is improved and the radiant heat from the heating source is used. Oil in the saucer is not burned and smoke is not generated.

[0009] The heating source in the above configuration is provided above the cooking net, for example, in the case of single-side grilling, and is provided both above and below the cooking net in the case of double-side grilling. In the latter case, the heat reflecting plate is provided between the lower heating source and the tray.

Further, the heat reflecting plate in the above configuration is formed, for example, in a structure having a concave groove, and an oil drain hole is provided at the bottom of the concave groove, so that the oil can be reliably collected and flown down to the tray side. Is promoted, and baking on the heat reflecting plate is further prevented.

Further, the heat reflecting plate in each of the above structures is
For example, the cooking net is configured to be fixed on the heat reflecting plate, so that the cooking net cannot be fixed without using the heat reflecting plate.

[0012] In such a case, the cooking net further has a protruding portion at a lower portion thereof to be engaged with the heat reflecting plate side groove portion, and is placed on a tray without the heat reflecting plate. In such a case, the apparatus is configured to be in an inclined state, and if the heat reflecting plate is not used, proper cooking cannot be performed without using the heat reflecting plate, so that the function of the heat reflecting plate is ensured.

[0013]

As a result, according to the invention of this application,
It is possible to reduce the amount of smoke generated by the oil from the cooked food, improve the heating efficiency of the cooked food, and provide an electric cooker suitable for a fish roaster or the like.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS (Embodiment 1) FIGS.
For example, the configuration of an electric cooker according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention configured as a fish roaster is shown.

First, in FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a box-shaped double-walled housing of the fish roaster whose front side is opened, in which an upper heating element 2 and a lower heating element 3 are provided.
Are provided at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction. On the other hand, reference numeral 4 denotes a concave receiving tray disposed at the lower bottom of the lower heating element 3, for example, a door 5 that covers the opening 1 a of the housing 1.
Is taken out of the housing 1 in conjunction with opening and closing of the housing 1 and is stored in the housing 1.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a side U-shape which is mounted on an upper portion of the tray 4 via a heat reflecting plate 20 which will be described later, and which is provided in a state where the mounting surface 6a of the food is positioned above the lower heating element 3. The cooking net is shaped like a box and can be removed from the housing 1 together with the tray 4.

The door 5 comprises a window portion 7 and a handle portion 8. Inside the handle portion 8, a receiving plate mounting member 9 attached to cover the entire inner surface of the handle portion 8 is a screw member. 10 is fixed. A U-shaped groove 11 is formed at the upper end of the handle 8 with a predetermined gap between the handle 8 and the tray mounting bracket 9. The window 7 can be detached from the U-shaped groove 11. Is attached.

The heat reflecting surface of the heat reflecting plate 20 has a V-shaped concave groove 20 as shown in FIG.
are formed by press molding into a corrugated shape having b, 20b,..., for example, circular oil drain holes 21, 21,... in the bottom of each concave groove 20b, 20b. Are provided at intervals. Then, by utilizing both tapered surfaces of the concave grooves 20b, 20b, the oil dripping from the cooking material such as fish on the cooking net 6 is effectively collected, and the oil is allowed to flow down quickly without stagnation. .. Are held in the receiving pan 4 below the oil drain holes 21, 21,..., So that burning of the oil on the heat reflecting plate 20 is prevented.

On the other hand, the heat reflecting plate 20 is made of, for example, a stainless steel plate of SUS430 or the like having high heat reflecting performance, and radiates heat from the lower heating element 3 and the upper heating element 2 onto the cooking net 6. The reflection in the direction of the cooking product 12 improves the heating efficiency of the cooking product 12, while at the same time, it fulfills the function of shielding heat into the lower tray 4 and the oil collected in the tray 4 is burned to generate a smoke source. It is designed to prevent that.

Further, at the bottom of the housing on the lower surface side of the tray 4, air inlets 22, 22... For sucking air by using a suction force of a deodorizing fan or the like are provided. By flowing cool air to the side, the temperature of the tray 4 is prevented from rising.

The heat reflecting plate 20 has two side edges 20.
a and 20a are locked in a stable state by locking both side edges 4a and 4a of the tray 4.

The reference numeral 30 in FIG.
1 is an operation timer.

Therefore, according to this configuration, the heating efficiency is improved, and it is not necessary to put water in the saucer 4 as in the prior art, and the food is not humidified. The radiant heat from the body 3 and the upper heating element 2 does not burn the oil in the saucer 4 to generate smoke, thereby contributing to smokeless and odorless fish roasters.

(Modification) Next, FIGS. 5 and 6 show a modification of the heat reflecting plate 20 in the electric cooker according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

That is, in the heat reflecting plate 20 of the modified example,
