Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to an improvement of a steam tool.

Traditionally, sekihan is steamed in a square wooden bamboo steamer, and the steamed rice is then shaped into small pieces depending on the purpose, but this process results in excessive stickiness and is time-consuming. In short, it is difficult to work efficiently.
In addition, various proposals have been made regarding steam tools, but there are still many practical problems, and few are still satisfactory.

The present invention allows steaming materials to be easily distributed and stored in a steaming section of a desired shape, where unit quantities such as confectionery, rice balls, and other foods can be divided and steamed into individual pieces. It is.

In the following embodiment, a main body 1 made of stainless steel, aluminum, hard synthetic resin, or other heat-resistant material is provided with a plurality of steaming sections 2 into which materials to be steamed are placed. In the illustrated example, a disc-shaped steaming section 2 is provided on a plate-shaped main body 1 made of stainless steel, and the steaming section is made by attaching a mesh body 3 from the bottom of the main body. It can also be made by punching a large number of holes in the recessed part. On top of the above body,
If you put roughly an appropriate amount of sekihan material, which is a mixture of glutinous rice soaked in water and boiled red beans, and other various materials to be steamed, and scratch the top surface of the main unit using a board, etc. Standing walls 4 installed on both sides of the top surface
Therefore, by scraping off the excess material from one end, a certain amount can be naturally distributed and stored in each steaming section.

Although such a steaming device may be used alone, when stacked, a certain amount of space is provided by spacers such as the rod-shaped body 5 extending upward from the main body and the plate-shaped body 6 extending downward. When these are placed in a steamer or other steam generator, the steam passes through the space above and reaches the steaming section of each steamer, passing through the holes to uniformly distribute the materials stored inside. Can be steamed to any state.

When the rice is steamed, take out the steaming utensil, turn it over, and tap it lightly.The steamed red rice, etc. will come out of each steamed part and be formed into the shape of the steamed part, and a certain amount of each part will be gathered into a lump. It can be used as it is to make rice balls and sweets, but it can also be used to make sweets by wrapping it in various kinds of dough, such as sake dough, and steaming or baking it. It doesn't require any effort.

The steamed part shown in Figure 4 has a hemispherical shape, but it can also be made into a triangular, square, or polygonal shape, and a triangular shape is convenient for making sekihan rice balls. be.
