Description

Sterilizer for Kitchen

The present invention relates to a kitchen sterilizer, and more particularly, it can effectively sterilize various types of sterilization objects such as a cutting board as well as plates and dishcloths, and can effectively fix various types of sterilization objects according to each shape. It is about a kitchen sterilizer.

The cutting board used in the kitchen has good conditions for bacteria to grow due to the humid surrounding environment. In particular, bacteria occurring on the cutting board mainly proliferate in the nicks caused by the knife, and in order to solve and prevent this, washing with a dedicated detergent and sterilizing in boiling water of 90° C. or higher are performed. This is a very inefficient method for sterilizing cutting boards used every day and requires a lot of time.

Therefore, a cutting board sterilizer has been proposed, but since it is designed with a standardized structure for sterilizing only the cutting board, it cannot sterilize various types of sterilization targets, so there is a problem in compatibility as a sterilizer.

However, there are various products such as various types of plates, kitchen knives, scissors, and dishcloths as well as chopping boards, and these products also require sterilization due to the nature of their use in the kitchen. There is a need for a kitchen sterilizer with high compatibility.
