Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This proposal relates to a steamer for microwave ovens.

The figure will be explained below.

1 is a bottomed container made of a radio wave transparent material such as earthenware, porcelain, glass, polypropylene, etc. The upper edge is widened to form a stepped portion 2, and the side portion is formed into a cylindrical shape.
Reference numeral 3 denotes an inner container made of aluminum, whose upper edge is similarly widened to provide a projecting edge 4, and the projecting edge 4 is placed on the stepped portion 2 of the container 1 to be housed in the container 1. At this time, a space is created between the bottom surface 5 of the inner container 1 and the bottom surface 6 of the container 1. The bottom surface of this inner container is provided with a number of steam holes 8, 8 through which steam emitted when the water 7 placed in the bottom of the container 1 is heated by microwaves passes through.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a stainless steel lid that is supported by a protruding edge 4 on the upper edge of the inner container, the edge of which is rolled inward to form a temporary reservoir for condensed dew on the inner surface of the lid. Further, the protruding edge of the inner container that supports the end of the lid is anodized to electrically insulate the contact portion and prevent spark discharge.

Therefore, after storing water 7 at the bottom of the container 1, storing the inner container, putting ingredients for steaming a tea bowl or the like in it, and putting a lid on it, when microwaves are irradiated in a microwave oven, the microwaves that have passed through the container are heats the water, and the steam that boils eventually fills the inner container through the steam vents 8, 8 of the inner container 3 and steams the material 9. Normally, the steam filling the inner container cools down when it comes into contact with the lid, condenses, and falls into water droplets. At this time, the material has the disadvantage of reducing quality, but as mentioned above, in this case, the lid is made of stainless steel, so it has a higher loss against microwaves than aluminum, and the lid itself is heated by generating heat. Therefore, steam in contact with the lid is difficult to cool down and condensation is less likely to occur. Therefore, deterioration in quality of the steamed product can be prevented. On the other hand, since the inner container is made of aluminum, it can be easily anodized, and an insulating coating can be formed on the part that contacts the lid to easily prevent sparks from occurring at the contact part.
