Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a table-top general-purpose cooking device such as a griddle that can be used for multi-purpose cooking.

Conventionally, when cooking with a tabletop cooker such as a griddle, unnecessary oil is extracted, so an oil reservoir 5' is provided below the cooker main body 1' as shown in FIG. ing.

The cooking device main body 1' is provided with a certain groove 3' around its periphery so that the oil can flow through the groove 3' and into the groove 3' located directly above the oil reservoir 5'. An outflow hole 4' was provided.

However, when the above cooker is used for other purposes, such as grilling shark roe, inconveniences arise.

In other words, in order to grill shark roe, water must be supplied during the grilling process.

Moreover, it was not possible to make delicious shark roe unless the amount of water was kept constant.

However, there is a drawback that water flows into the oil reservoir 5' through the outflow hole 4'.

Therefore, when cooking food that requires water, such as shark roe, by fitting the stopper 6' into the outflow hole 4', water can be poured into the cooking device main body 1.
'The food was stored in the interior for cooking.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned points, and its purpose is to provide a stopper that is fitted into the outlet hole of the main body of a cooking appliance such as a griddle, and that is formed of an elastic material such as rubber. It can also be used for cooking by adding water by making several divided pieces divided by making several cuts in the radial direction from the center and keeping them normally closed, and on the other hand, when necessary, between the several divided pieces To provide a multipurpose cooking device which can be used for other cooking by allowing objects such as chopsticks to enter therein to drain water, oil, etc. without removing the stopper body.

Hereinafter, details of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

1 is a cooking device body such as a griddle, 2 is a grilling plate provided with heating wires 2a such as a sheathed heater on the underside, 2b is a periphery of the grilling plate 2, and 3 is provided at the bottom of the cooking device body 1 along the periphery 2b. 4 indicates an oil flow groove, and 4 indicates an outflow hole.

The oil flow groove 3 is formed in an inclined shape so that the outflow hole 4 is at the lowest position.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an oil reservoir container disposed below the outflow hole 4.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a plug body made of an elastic material such as silicone rubber or plastics and having a substantially bottomed cylindrical shape.
By supporting the top and bottom surfaces of the outer periphery of the outflow hole 4 with a and 6b, the plug body 6 is made liquid-tight and securely fitted without rotating within the outflow hole 4.

6dt are several notches provided in the bottom 6C of the plug body 6 in a radial direction (crosswise in the drawing) from the center, and by making these notches 6d+, the bottom 6C is divided into several divided pieces 6d.
It is divided into

In this case, the number of cuts 6 cL is preferably in the range of 3 to 10.

Moreover, the dividing piece 6d is normally closed as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 due to its restoring force.

7 is a rod-shaped object such as chopsticks.

One embodiment of the present invention consists of the above-mentioned precepts, and in order to start cooking, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4,
This is carried out in a state in which several divided pieces 6d of the stopper main body 6, which are fitted into the outflow hole 4 and formed of an elastic material 4 such as rubber, are in a closed state.

During the cooking process, oil passes through the distribution groove 3 and accumulates.

Therefore, if more oil than necessary accumulates in the flow groove 3,
A notch 6d in which a rod-shaped object 7 such as a chopstick is provided in the bottom 6C of the stopper body 6. When pushed inward, the several divided pieces 6d are pushed down by the object 7 against the elastic force (see FIG. 3).

In this case, several divided pieces 6d divided by making several cuts 6dt in the radial direction from the center are pushed down by the object 7 on a line connecting the ends of the adjacent cuts 6cL and 6d1.

Therefore, more oil than necessary can be discharged into the oil reservoir 5 from the gap 6e formed between the newly curved edge of each divided piece 6d and the outer periphery of the object 7.

After draining the oil, if the object 7 is removed, each divided piece 6d
is restored to its previous position due to its restoring force, and each cut 6d. They collide at each other, resulting in a closed state as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.

On the other hand, when used for other purposes, such as grilling shark roe, if a certain amount of water is added while each divided piece 6d is closed by colliding with each other at the notch 6d1, the grilling plate 2 will not absorb water. Evaporates without leaking to the outside.

Therefore, you can make the same salmon that you would cook in a regular pot.

What is shown in FIG. 6 is another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a protruding rib 6f is provided on the lower surface of the convergence of several notches 6d1 provided in the plug body 6, so that the object 7 can be pushed. On the other hand, wear of each divided piece 6d is eliminated, and when each divided piece 6d is in a closed state, the protruding ribs 6f are reliably brought into contact with each other, thereby achieving a more sufficient liquid-tight effect than that of the previous embodiment. Otherwise, the structure and operation are similar to those of the previous embodiment.

In each of the embodiments of the present invention, the notch 6d1 is formed in the plug body 5, which has a substantially bottomed cylindrical shape, but it is possible to simply make the plug body into a sheet shape and attach it to the outflow hole 4, and then push the object 7 into the notch 6d1. In addition to being able to drain the oil juice by filling the split piece 6d with restoring force, it is also possible to store a certain amount of water or the like by closing the dividing piece 6d.

As mentioned above, the present invention is particularly designed by making several cuts radially from the center of the stopper body, which is fitted into the outlet hole of the main body of a cooking device such as a griddle and is made of an elastic material such as rubber. By keeping the several divided pieces permanently closed, it can be used for cooking by adding water, and on the other hand, when necessary, an object such as a chopstick can be inserted between the several divided pieces without removing the stopper body. It also has the effect of draining water, oil, etc. and allowing it to be used for other dishes.
