JPS6029925Y2 - Rice cooker with floating lid - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a rice cooker with a floating lid.

In the past, steam water droplets adhering to the outer lid of the rice cooker dripped onto the rice after rice was cooked, causing a feeling of discomfort, but in normal rice cooking, these water droplets were not considered as much of a problem.

However, Patent No. 65080 related to the prior right of the inventor of this case
In a rice cooker such as the 吋, rice, ingredients, and seasoning water for, say, 1 Gomoku Kama Meshiyo are placed in response to a customer's order, and each item is loaded into a heating holder at a constant temperature and heated to cook the rice. It is set on a decorative frame and used as tableware.

With such a rice cooker, there are problems such as shortening the cooking time, water droplets adhering to the inner surface of the outer lid when the lid is opened and falling on the ingredients, causing an unpleasant feeling, spoiling the flavor, and unnecessary water dripping. A serious problem is that the rice does not come out crispy when cooked.

The present invention was devised in response to the problem of improving the flavor of cooked rice without dripping unnecessary water droplets, and is an improved product of Patent No. 650809, which shortens the cooking time and improves the flavor of cooked rice. It is designed to prevent water droplets adhering to the inner surface of the outer lid from dripping onto the boiling food when the lid is opened after completion.

Here, one embodiment of the rice cooker with a floating lid according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The rice cooker with a floating lid is composed of a container 1, an outer lid 2, and a floating lid 3.
The container 1 is closed with an outer lid 2 with a packing 11 interposed therebetween.

The container 1 and outer lid 2 shown in FIG. 1 are a vacuum rice cooker,
A vacuum valve 21 disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 650809 is provided at the center of the outer lid 2.

The floating lid 3 has a size smaller than the inner diameter of the container 1, and has a handle 33 at the center of the central convex portion 32 at a diameter that creates a gap 31 with the container 1, and is folded by rolling a raised edge 34 around the periphery into an I-shaped cross section. A water droplet reservoir recess 35 is provided.

Forming the container in an I-shape is essential to avoid damaging the container during use.

The floating lid 3 is used by being placed on the boiling material 5 in the container 1, and is made of aluminum acid, stainless steel, or the like.

Since the central convex portion 32 of the float M3 is curved, the handle 3
There is a recessed cavity 36 under the container 3, in which steam and air accumulate and float on the seasoned water 51.

Note that the floating lid 3 is not limited to a material or structure that itself has buoyancy.

The floating lid 3 may have a vent hole 37 formed in the convex portion 32 to allow steam to flow as indicated by arrow A.

The floating lid 3 is provided with the water droplet reservoir recess 35 as described above, and a guide protrusion is provided on the back surface of the outer lid 2 so that the water droplets 6 adhering to the inner surface of the outer lid 2 can effectively fall into the recess 35. Part 22
It is recommended to form a

To use the rice cooker with a floating lid according to the present invention, put the boiled food 5 (rice) and the ingredients 52 into the container 1, add the seasoned ice 51, and then place the floating M3 horizontally on the seasoned ice 51. .

Since the floating lid 3 has the hollow chamber 36, it floats.

Then, cover the outer lid 2 and boil it.

During rice cooking, the floating lid 3 is raised and maintained horizontally even though it is oscillated by air bubbles.

Since the float M3 is curved to form the central convex portion 32,
The ingredients such as 'Gomekama Meshiyo' are gathered around the position in the hollow chamber 36, and are boiled in the hollow chamber 36 under pressure.

The steam passes through the gap 31 and is discharged to the outside from the vacuum valve 21.

For rice cooking, the pressure is applied through the floating lid 3, or steam is slowly released to the outside, so heat is effectively used and the cooking time can be considerably shortened.

After the rice has been cooked for a certain period of time, the outer lid 2 is opened.

At this time, the steam naturally becomes water droplets due to the temperature difference with the outside air, but the water droplets 6 fall onto the float M3 along the guide protrusion 22, accumulate in the water droplet recess 35, and are placed on top of the boiling food. Do not scatter.

That is, the boiled food 52 does not receive unnecessary moisture after the rice cooking is completed.

The floating lid 3 is taken out with water droplets still collected horizontally.

There is an empty chamber 36 on the inner surface of the floating lid 3, and the food to be boiled rises up along the shape of the empty chamber, and is cooked in a shape similar to that of rice.

As described above, the rice cooker with a floating lid according to the present invention has extremely practical significance because it can cook rice with a smooth flavor and shape without dripping, and can shorten the cooking time.
