Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is a metal mesh used in grills, etc., on which food is placed and partially supported in a smaller area. This invention relates to improvements in the structure of cooking utensils for cooking.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, the grill section of a gas stove has been provided with a hard metal mesh as an accessory for grilling fish and the like. However, when cooking fish or the like, there is a problem in that oil, fat, skin, etc. stick to the metal surface. If such dirt on the surface of the metal mesh is left unattended, the deposits may be burned during the next cooking operation or soot may adhere to the food to be cooked, resulting in a complicated cleaning operation.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a disposable molded grill plate as shown in a perspective view in FIG. 9 has recently been commercially available. A molded grill plate 1 shown in FIG. 9 is made of a metal material such as aluminum, and a plurality of support protrusions 2 are provided on one surface of the molded plate 1 by molding. This protrusion 2 is provided to support a food such as fish with a small contact area, that is, to partially support it.

The molded grill plate 1 shown in FIG. 9 is formed by molding, and is therefore made of a relatively thick metal material. Furthermore, as shown in the cross-sectional view of the support protrusion 2 in FIG. The height of the support protrusion 2 is simply formed to be relatively low.

In addition to the molded plates for grills shown in Figures 9 and 10, conventionally, molded plates for grills have been used to prevent fats and oils that have leached from the food during cooking from adhering to the food. A molded dish for grilling has been proposed which has a structure in which holes are provided in the molded dish to allow oil and fat to fall downward.

On the other hand, apart from molded grill plates, cooking utensils made of ceramics, etc., are used as cooking utensils to thaw frozen foods or to heat fish, etc. in the microwave prior to cooking in the microwave. Utensils have been used as accessories for microwave ovens.

Problems the invention aims to solve However, the former, that is, conventional molded grill plates, are made by molding a relatively thick metal material, so they have the disadvantage of being expensive if they are disposable. . Furthermore, in the molded grill pan having the shape shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the support protrusion 2 is formed by molding, so the area of the upper surface 2a of the support protrusion 2 is not very small. and the upper surface 2 of the support protrusion 2
The distance between a and the main surface 1a of the molded grilling pan 1, that is, the height of the support protrusion 2, cannot be made very high. Therefore, when cooking on a grill, the fats and oils that have leached out of the food, such as fish, become steamed in oil, making it difficult to grill them beautifully. There was also the problem that the adhesive remained attached even after baking.

However, as mentioned above, a molded grill plate with holes formed in it to allow the oil and fat leached from the food to fall downward has been proposed, but it has the other drawbacks mentioned above, namely, it is expensive to use as a disposable item. This did not solve the problem of being expensive and not being able to bake beautifully.

On the other hand, regarding the latter type of cooking utensils for microwave ovens, as mentioned above, there are only cooking utensils that are included as accessories for microwave ovens, and therefore, complicated cleaning work must be performed every time cooking is done. Due to this problem, it has been desired to develop disposable and inexpensive cooking utensils.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, to make the food beautifully grilled when used for grilling, and to avoid the situation of steaming in oil. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooking utensil with a novel structure that can be used as an inexpensive cooking utensil and also as a disposable cooking utensil when cooking in a microwave oven.

Means for Solving the Problems In summary, this invention is a cooking utensil for placing and supporting food with a smaller contact area during cooking, and is formed by being cut out from the main surface. and a plurality of thin plate-like members each having a support piece for supporting a food to be cooked at an upper end, the plurality of thin plate-like members each having a support piece formed by cutting and bending a support piece of another thin plate-like member. The cooking utensils are stacked one on top of the other so as to be inserted into an opening.

The plurality of thin plate-like members may be integrated, or may be mutually movable in an overlapping state. When integrating multiple thin plate-like members, for example, if they are made of flexible members such as aluminum foil, they may be integrated by co-wrapping their peripheries, or by using an adhesive or by using an appropriate adhesive. They may be integrated by providing engagement means.

Further, the support piece may be a single support piece, or a plurality of support pieces may be formed.

Function: In this invention, the food to be cooked is supported by the upper end of the support piece cut and raised from the thin plate-like member, so the food to be cooked is supported with an extremely small contact area.

Since the support piece is formed by cutting and raising it, its height can be increased unlike a molded product.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of this invention. The cooking utensil 11 of this embodiment is formed by overlapping two thin plate-like members 12 and 13 and integrating them by wrapping them together.

As shown in a perspective view in FIG. 2, one of the thin plate members 12 is made of a flexible material such as metal foil such as aluminum foil, or a composite material made by laminating flame retardant paper or noncombustible paper to metal foil. Constructed from thin material. Further, the support piece 14 is formed by cutting and raising a substantially rectangular thin plate member 12 as shown in a plan view in FIG. Therefore, after the support piece 14 is cut and raised, an opening 15 is formed.
This support piece 14 and the main surface 12 of the thin plate member 12
The relationship with a is shown in a cross-sectional view in FIG. Since the support piece 14 is formed by cutting and raising, the height thereof, that is, the distance between the upper end and the main surface 12a of the thin plate member can be arbitrarily selected.

The other thin plate member 13 is also formed in the same manner as the one thin plate member 12 described above. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, these two thin plate members 12, 13
As shown in the cross-sectional view in FIG.
The support pieces 16 are inserted, overlapped, and then integrated by hemming around the periphery as shown in FIG.

In the embodiment of FIG. 1 configured as described above,
The food to be cooked is supported at the upper ends of the support pieces 14 and 16. Therefore, since the food to be cooked is supported by the cooking utensil 11 in a line-contact manner, it is supported in contact with an extremely small area compared to the conventional cooking utensil as shown in FIG. When used when cooking on a grill, etc., it is possible to make the grilled food beautiful. Further, as mentioned above, the height of each support piece 14, 16 can be made relatively high because it is formed by cutting and bending, and therefore, the height of each support piece 14, 16 can be made relatively high, and therefore, the height of each support piece 14, 16 can be made relatively high. It is possible to avoid a state in which things become steamed with oil.

By the way, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the support piece 14 formed on one thin plate member 12 and the support piece 16 formed on the other thin plate member 13 are as follows.
Both thin plate members 12, 13 are arranged so as to face each other.
However, as shown in the cross-sectional view in FIG. 6, for example, both support pieces 14 and 16 may be superposed so as to face in the same direction. However,
Both support pieces 14, 16 as shown in FIG.
If the support pieces 14 and 16 are overlapped so that they face each other, each support piece 14 and 16 will overlap the other support pieces 16 and 14
Since it is slightly inclined in the direction in which it touches, it is possible to more stably support the food to be cooked.

Note that the plurality of thin plate members are not limited to being integrated by edge wrapping as described above, but may be integrated using engagement means as shown in FIG. 7, for example. That is, a notch 21 is formed on a pair of pieces extending in the longitudinal direction of one thin plate member 22, and an engaging piece 24 capable of engaging with the notch 21 is formed in a corresponding portion of the other thin plate member 23. If formed, it becomes possible to integrally connect both thin plate members 22 and 23 when they are overlapped as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6.

Furthermore, the plurality of thin plate members do not have to be integrated as in the above embodiment. In other words, they may be movable relative to each other in the direction of the main surface of the thin plate member while being superimposed on each other. In this case, the distance between the supporting pieces can be made variable depending on the size of the food to be cooked, so it is possible to cope with cooking of food of various sizes, and the size of the opening can be changed. Since it is variable, it is also possible to drop or collect oils and fats.

Note that even if a slit 25 is provided in place of the notch 21 formed in one of the thin plate members 22 shown in FIG. 7 as shown in the partially cutaway plan view in FIG. Needless to say, they can be integrated.

Note that in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the overall shape of the thin plate members 12 and 13 is approximately rectangular;
It goes without saying that the cooking utensil of this invention may have an arbitrary overall shape such as a circular shape or an oval shape.

In addition, in the embodiment shown in FIG.
4 and 16 are cut and raised into substantially rectangular shapes, but they can be formed into any shape. For example, support pieces 14,1
By forming the upper end of 6 in a wave shape, it is also possible to support the food to be placed on it in a point-contact manner. Not only that, but also the cut and raised supporting pieces 14,1
6 is formed to have a wavy shape when viewed from above, that is, from the direction in which the support pieces 14 and 16 extend, thereby making it possible to avoid the risk of cutting one's hand or the like by the tips of the support pieces 14 and 16, and at the same time, the grille When used as a cooking utensil, it is also possible to form seared marks in a wavy pattern on the food to be cooked.

In addition, one or more plate-like members without cut and raised
Furthermore, it may be combined with the lower surface of the thin plate member of the above embodiment.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to this invention, the invention includes a plurality of thin plate-like members that are cut and raised from the main surface and have a support piece for supporting the food to be cooked at the upper end, and a plurality of thin plate members are provided. The thin plate-shaped members are stacked on top of each other so that the supporting pieces are inserted into openings formed by cutting and bending the supporting pieces of other thin plate-shaped members, so that they contact the food to be cooked over an extremely small area. Since it is possible to obtain cooking utensils that can support this, it is possible to have beautiful grill marks on the food to be cooked, and to avoid burning or peeling of the skin of fish etc. when removing it after cooking. This can be reliably prevented. Furthermore, when used as a cooking utensil for a microwave oven, it can be used as a disposable cooking utensil that has not been available in the past, so it is also possible to eliminate complicated cleaning work.
