Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a portable cooking device, especially a cooking device suitable for raclette and other cheese dishes (dishes in which cheese is melted and the melted cheese is added to meat, vegetables, etc.). be.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally known cooking utensils using metal plates include those in which a metal plate is placed on a heat source and ingredients are placed directly on the metal plate for cooking (for example, an iron plate for yakiniku). However, conventional methods had the disadvantage that the temperature was too high to melt cheese because heat was directly transmitted from the metal plate to the material. Also, when several people gather around the same cooker to make raclette or other cheese dishes and eat them, it is necessary to take care not to mix each person's melted cheese, but the traditional metal plate Since the surface is flat, not only will the cheese be mixed, but there is also a risk that the cheese will flow over the entire surface of the metal plate, making it unavoidable that a large amount of cheese will be used. Moreover, since it is not possible to keep melted cheese on hand, there is a problem in that each time you add cheese to the ingredients, you have to reach for the metal plate.

However, this invention has multiple recesses for placing small cooking plates, and a metal plate of approximately the same thickness with a downward fitting edge on the periphery is removably fixed to the base. By combining the main body, a small cooking plate with a handle that can be placed in contact with the recess, and a heat source that heats the metal plate that can be installed in the center of the base, the small cooking plate can be placed indirectly from the iron plate. Since the iron plate is designed to distribute heat evenly, a relatively small amount of heat is stably supplied. Furthermore, since each person's cheese can be melted in an individual small plate, there is no fear that cheeses from adjacent people will be mixed together, which solves the problems of the conventional method.

This proposal will be explained below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

A cooking device main body A is constructed by removably fixing the fitting edge of a metal plate 4 on a base 3 formed by fixing pillars 2 to the four corners of a rectangular frame 1, respectively. Said metal plate 4
is made of a metal such as aluminum or copper that has good thermal conductivity and is easy to process, and has four rectangular recesses (about 10 mm in depth) 5 formed by press work on its upper surface for placing small cooking plates. Since the metal plates have approximately the same thickness, by forming the recessed portions as described above, the recessed grooves 6 are formed on the lower surface of the metal plate 4, and these grooves are grooves for guiding the flame. It is becoming. B in the figure is a small cooking plate placed in the recessed part 5,
Made of metal that can be used for food hygiene such as stainless steel (preferably the inside is treated with non-stick treatment).
One side of a handle 8 made of heat-insulating material (made of wood, for example) is attached to one side of the main body 7, which is recessed into a shape similar to the recessed part 5. C in the figure is an alcohol lamp.

Next, a method of using the cooking utensil shown in the above embodiment will be explained using a raclette as an example. (The cooking device of this invention is not limited to raclette, but can also be used for other cheese dishes.)

An alcohol lamp C is placed in the lower center of the cooker body A.
At the same time, the bottom of the small cooking plate B is placed in contact with each concave portion 5 of the metal plate 4, and cheese is placed in the small cooking plate B. When the alcohol lamp C is lit here, the generated heat is conducted to the small cooking plate B through the metal plate 4 and the cheese is melted, so each person can eat the molten cheese by adding it to their favorite ingredients.
9 in the figure is a stand for an alcohol lamp.

In the above, the recessed part 5 and the main body 7 of the small cooking plate B
Since they have similar shapes, the small cooking plate B is stably placed on the metal plate 4 and there is no risk of it shifting. In addition, since the heat of the alcohol lamp C is evenly transmitted to the entire metal plate 4, there is no risk of uneven temperature of each small cooking plate. If 6 is provided, further uniformity can be achieved. Furthermore, since the heat from the alcohol lamp is indirectly transmitted to the small cooking plate B via the metal plate 4, the temperature is more stable than with an open flame, and it is easier to maintain the temperature at a relatively low temperature. Further, according to the above embodiment, since the handle 8 is attached to the small cooking plate B, each person can conveniently eat the small cooking plate B at hand.

Note that the number and shape of the recessed portions 5 are not limited to those in the above embodiment, and the structure of the base 3 may also be box-shaped in addition to the structure shown in the above embodiment. In addition, as a heat source, when considering outdoor use, portable fuels (for example, candles, oil stoves, etc.) other than alcohol lamps can be appropriately selected and used. If it is not used outdoors, the heat source can be gas or electricity.

That is, according to this invention, a cooking device main body is formed by fixing a metal plate provided with a plurality of recesses for placing small cooking plates on a base, a small cooking plate placed in the recesses, and the metal plate are heated. Since the heat sources are combined, each person can cook individually using small cooking plates.
Therefore, there is no risk that each person's materials will mix, and
It is convenient because you can bring a small plate with you to eat. In addition, since there is no need to place ingredients directly on a metal plate, and indirect heating is used, the temperature of each part remains even and stable, making cooking easier. Furthermore, since the metal plate has a substantially constant thickness, the heat transfer area can be increased by forming the recesses, and uniform heat conduction can be promoted. Furthermore, there are various effects such as being able to appropriately color the metal plate.
