Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention provides a natto maker that allows natto to be easily made at home.

Fig. 1 is an overall perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention;
The figure is a partially cutaway side view, and the natto maker consists of a main body 1, a plate 2 placed on the main body 1, and a cover 3 placed on the plate 2. The main body 1 includes a frame body 11 whose upper surface is curved into a substantially petal shape.
It consists of a tray 12 made of an aluminum plate or the like attached to the top surface of the frame 11 by screws or the like, and a heating member (not shown) such as a nichrome wire or a sheathed heater inside the frame 11. A temperature control member (not shown) such as a thermostat that controls the temperature of this heating member to around 40°C is built in, and when the switch 13 attached to the side wall is input, the heat from the heating member is transferred to the saucer 12. is transmitted to heat the saucer 12. and,
The heating time is also controlled by a timer 14 attached to the side wall of the frame 11. By setting the timer 14 to a predetermined time, the switch is automatically turned on after the predetermined time has elapsed. It's starting to get cut. The plate 2 is formed in substantially the same shape as the main body 1 formed in this way, is removably placed on the saucer 12, and is heated to the same extent by the heat from the saucer 12. There is. This plate 2 is formed from a hollow part 21 having a lower center part and a peripheral part 22 formed around the hollow part 21, so that steamed soybeans, etc. can be placed on the upper surface of the hollow part 21. It's summery. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the peripheral edge 22 is formed with a plurality of wave-shaped unevenness toward the center of the dish, and when the cover 3 is placed on the dish 2, The grooves 23 form openings for air circulation. Further, a ring-shaped protruding edge 24 is formed slightly inside the peripheral edge 22 to block water that condenses on the cover 3 during fermentation and flows down the cover 3, thereby preventing it from being mixed into the soybean. It is prevented. The cover 3 is placed on such a plate 2, and the lower end abuts on the peripheral edge 22 of the plate 2, so that air flows through the space between the plate 2 and the cover 3 as described above. It's becoming like that. This cover 3 is made of transparent plastic or glass so that the fermentation status can be monitored from the outside, and is preferably in an inverted U-shape or a shape so that condensed water can flow down the cover 3 without dripping onto the soybeans. It is formed in an inverted V shape.

In this embodiment formed in this way, the cord wire 1
By connecting 5 to the power source and turning on switch 13, the temperature is moderately heated, and air is also circulated, so natto is automatically produced, and natto can be made at home without any special skill. It can be easily used inside. In this case, not only natto,
It can also be used in various foods produced by fermentation, such as yogurt.

Note that the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and can be modified in various ways. For example, the shape and material of the main body, plate, or cover can be changed as appropriate. or,
Instead of forming irregularities on the peripheral edge of the dish, the opening may be formed by forming irregularities on the lower end surface of the cover, or the opening may be formed by forming holes in the side wall of the cover. Furthermore, a handle or the like may be attached to the cover to facilitate handling. In these cases as well, effects similar to those of the above embodiments can be obtained.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a natto maker that can easily make natto at home.
