The present invention relates to a food scattering prevention cover for a microwave oven, and more particularly, to a food scattering cover covering a food container to prevent food from being scattered during heating of the food.

In particular, the present invention relates to a food scattering prevention cover that can cover a food container such as a dish or a bowl to prevent food from scattering on the upper and lower surfaces or sidewalls of the oven when the food is heated in the microwave oven. .

This invention can also be used as a washable and reusable cover that can be used for cooking or heating food.

In cooking food in cooking utensils, there has always been a problem that food scraps must be wiped clean from the surroundings of these cooking utensils or cooking places. In particular, such a problem occurs when cooking foods that are released by steam generation during food cooking, foods boil, and a portion of the foods easily protrude to the vicinity of the cooking utensils. As food cooking methods become more complicated, cooking utensils have been adapted to these cooking utensils including lids or covers to help prevent food from scattering when cooking or heating food plants.

In recent years, however, great advances in food cooking technology have been achieved with the advent of the extremely popular microwave oven.

As is well known, these ovens are adapted to radiate electromagnetic waves into them. These electromagnetic waves have a wavelength that is specifically tuned to act with the natural frequency of water molecules that act electromagnetically when generating microwave energy to generate heat. Since most foods contain a significant amount of water, the heat generated by the excited water molecules is cooked uniformly, with or without burning food.

Even if such a micro web is used, the water molecules inside the food are excited to generate pressure in the form of steam, so that steam may be ejected through the food and thus the food may be scattered.

Indeed, microwebs tend to exhale more steam than during normal heating. In addition, since the inside of the micro oven is sealed, the top and walls of the oven should be soiled with food scraps and should be cleaned frequently.

In order to prevent food from being scattered in the related art, only the lid of a pan or a bowl into which food is infused during cooking is covered.

In addition to this technique, as a conventional technique, a rigid metal cover having a sufficient diameter to cover a pan or frying pan or a bowl has been used. This technique is not available for microwaves. Firstly, the lid which actually seals the container is produced in a very short time because the steam pressure is generated in a very short time, so that the lid is removed from the container by a large amount of steam release, so it cannot be used properly for the micro web.

Robust shatterproof cover is made of metal, and it is known that cookware made of metal or including metal parts is not suitable for use in microwaves due to the reflective properties of metal. Is not suitable for use for micro webs. Although these rigid covers, which have some form, are constructed of nonmetals, they are not suitable for use in covering heated food containers, which is well known for microwave heating.

Therefore, there is a need for an improved food scattering prevention cover that does not scatter food from the food container by making it simple to use as a cover of a container housed in a microwave oven at low cost. In addition, the food shatterproof cover should not scatter food from it so that it can cover even a dish without a lid. In addition, the food shatterproof cover should be able to be used in various containers and should be able to easily clean any food pieces stuck to it.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a unique and useful food shatterproof cover that can be used as a cover that can prevent food from being scattered when heating food in a microwave oven.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a food scattering prevention cover having a variety in the configuration to be used to cover a container of various sizes, including a dish without a lid.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a food splash prevention cover that does not contaminate the food even when directly in contact with the food and does not prevent the food from being eaten.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a cheap, flexible, non-metallic food scattering cover that can prevent food from being scattered during food heating and can be easily washed in an automatic dishwasher.

The food scattering prevention cover of the present invention is in the form of a sheet of a flexible open weave fabric of a non-toxic non-rapid material which has a high melting point and can be suitably used for food heating.

The structure of the open-weave sheet has a peripheral edge portion and a peripheral edge region adjacent thereto and is sized to sufficiently cover the open upper side of the container containing the food to be heated. A plurality of weights are fixed at regular intervals in the peripheral edge region and have sufficient mass so that the peripheral edge region of the sheet is stretched out of the container border so that the sheet adheres to the spherical side of the container.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the square sheet of polyester material has four weights in the form of balls, and each weight is fixed to the peripheral edge region of the sheet edge. These weights are made of heavy plastic material and consist of two halves that join the through-holes formed in the weight. These half halves can be elastically bonded to one another or can be combined with a suitable adhesive. In addition, the rectangular sheet may have a peripheral edge sealed to the peripheral edge region. A number of elongated columnar weights are then placed in these cages and can be arranged in pairs at some distance from the edge of the sheet at both sides. This configuration has the effect of tightening the cover in the peripheral edge region when the cover is covered on a container having a large opening. As another embodiment, the cover may be configured in the form of an octagon, and one annular weight is fixed to each corner of the octagon.

Referring to the present invention in more detail based on the accompanying drawings as follows.

The present invention is particularly for use in a microwave oven, and relates to a cover that is able to cover food containers such as dishes or dishes during heating. In addition, although the present invention has been described for use for a microwave oven, it is to be understood that the structure and function of the present invention may be used for other heating methods.

In the broadest sense, the present invention includes a non-metallic material having a weight attached to the periphery. The design of the cover is shown in FIGS. 1-4, wherein the cover 10 consists of a fabric sheet 12 of open weave polyester fabric. The open wave fabric is woven from polyester fabric of 28 x 150 matrices (28 males / inch x 150 males / inch). The fabric is very durable and does not loosen well, so it is not necessary to finish the edge tissue along the edge 18 of the sheet 12. Although the sheet 12 is in the form of a rectangle in the form shown, the shape of the sheet 12 may be any shape within the scope of the present invention. The sheet 12 has a peripheral edge region 20 corresponding to the peripheral region of the sheet 12 adjacent to the edge 18. This sheet 12 may be used with other materials known in the art. In addition to the polyester, the sheet 12 may be nylon, rayon, and teflon yarns, and natural fibers may also be used. The materials that make up this sheet must be able to withstand oven temperatures, be washable, and selected for consideration of material or manufacturing costs. In any case, the materials constituting such sheets should be available for cooking of all foods.

A batter weight 14 is mounted in the peripheral edge region at each corner of the sheet 12. The structure and fixing method of each weight 14 are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Each weight 14 consists of two halves 30, 50 that are compensated for. The half portion 30 has a flat inner wall 32 and a block face 34 in the form of a circle. The half portion 30 has a through hole 36 formed in the center thereof, and a peripheral circumferential demand 38 is formed in the middle of the through hole 36. Half portion 50 also has a planar inner wall 52 and a block face 54 in a circular shape. A hollow coupling rod 58 is formed on the flat inner wall 52 and the coupling rod 58 is located on the central axis of the half portion 50. Through-holes 56 are formed in the coupling bar 58 and the half portion 50, and the peripheral protrusions 59 are formed at regular intervals with respect to the flat inner wall 52. The through hole 36 of the half portion 30 has the same inner diameter as the outer diameter of the coupling rod 58, and the periphery protrusion 59 and the periphery demand 38 have a coupling rod 58 through the complementary shape. Periphery protrusion (59) is inserted into the periphery (38) is complementary to each other when the coupling rod 58 is inserted into the through hole 36, the periphery protrusion (59) is elastically in the periphery request (38) It can be combined.

In this configuration, each weight 14 has its respective halves 30, 50 joined at both sides of the sheet 12 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. In order to install the weight 14 on the sheet 12, the holes 12 are formed at each corner of the sheet 12, and the through holes 22 are sized to allow the coupling rod 58 to be inserted therethrough. It is.

Accordingly, the inner surface wall 52 of the half portion 50 is inserted into the edge region 20 of the sheet 12 by inserting the coupling rod 58 of the half portion 50 through the through hole 22 formed at the edge of the sheet 12. ) Is placed so that And when the half part 30 is installed in the other side part of the sheet 12, when the coupling bar 58 is inserted into the coupling hole 36, these half parts 30 and 50 at the time of pressing the two half parts. It is fixedly coupled by the peripheral protrusion 59 and the peripheral edge request 38.

In this way, it is fixedly connected to the edge region 20 of the sheet 12. Each weight body 14 is provided with a through hole 24 that completely passes through the cover 10.

In the present invention, the structure of the weight body 14 may be configured in another structure within the scope of the present invention, and the half portions 30 and 50 constituting the weight body 14 are also known in the art. Several methods can be interlocked. Importantly, each half 30, 50 must be a non-metallic material suitable for the web-enabled device, and gravity can act to allow the edge region 20 of the cover 10 to be cast around the side wall of the vessel during use. The point is to have a sufficient density. Suitable for these weights 14 are polyethylene terephthalates. Other materials suitable for the weight agent 14 include other plastic materials such as polyester, nylon and rayon. In addition, the weight body 14 may be formed of a rubber bar, and the weight body 14 may be attached to the steel wall surface of the oven when the cover 10 is stored outside of the microwave oven. However, it is important that the weight 14 does not reflect the micro web.

In use, the cover 10 is covered with a bowl 16 as shown in FIG. 1 or a dish 116 as shown in FIG. This cover may be covered and secured in a taut state across the bend of the container or may be covered directly with food as shown in FIG. The user covers the cover 10 when heating food in the microwave oven. The weight body 14 causes the edge region of the cover 10 to extend to the circumferential side of the container during heating, so that the center portion of the sheet 12 is the edge of the bowl 17 and the dish 116 shown in FIG. It comes into contact with the rim of the container such as 117.

Since the sheet 12 is an open wave structure, steam generated from food during heating is discharged through the cover 10 so that the cover does not come off from the container. However, when the steam is generated, the food particles of relatively large particles, which are scattered on the lower side of the cover and collide with each other, do not pass through the sheet 12 but hit the cover 10 or are returned to the container. Despite the temperature rise during heating, the material of the sheet 12 or the weight body 14 does not melt and can withstand temperatures of 100 ° C. or higher. However, it is preferable that these sheets 12 and the weight body 14 can tolerate without melting even at the temperature of 120 degreeC or more preferably.

After the food is heated, the cover 10 can be peeled off and placed in an automatic dishwasher. Since the through-hole 24 is formed in the weight body 14, the cover 10 can be placed at a fixed position when the hook is placed on the hook of the automatic dishwasher. Alternatively, the cover 10 can be cleaned in a net, as is well known for automatic dishwashers.

Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

The cover 60 may here be comprised of a rectangular sheet 62 of open wave material as described for the cover 10 of the first embodiment, which sheet 62 may also be composed of other fabrics. . The cover 60 includes an edge region 70 that is folded inward and closed with a suture 72 to form a cage 66 as shown in FIG. A plurality of weights 64 in the form of plastic rods are inserted and fixed in the cage 66 at selected positions of the sides. As shown in FIG. 5, the weights 64 are installed in pairs adjacent to the cover 60 and each corner 63, and each weight 64 is disposed at regular intervals from the corners 63. . The weight 64 is bounded by a suture 74 extending transversely to the cage 66 so that the weight 64 can form a bag-shaped seal 65 in which the weight 64 can be sewn. It is fixed not to move inside).

With this structure it is possible to further increase the number of weights used in the cover 60 and to further put the weight 64 in the cage 66 if necessary.

A third embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Here, the sheet 82 constituting the cover 80 can be configured in an octagonal form or other forms as necessary. The cover 80 has a peripheral edge portion 90 and a plurality of weights 84 are mounted on the peripheral edge portion 90 at each corner 92. This weight 84 is secured to the sheet 82 in a similar manner as described for the weight 14.

As shown in FIG. 8, the present invention cover, such as cover 10, can be suitably used to prevent pieces of food from being scattered from the dish containing the food while heating the food in a microwave oven or the like. This dish 116 has a rim 117 and the heated food 118 is contained in the dish. After the food 118 is placed in the dish 116, the dish is placed in a microwave oven and the cover 10 is covered by the dish 116. The central portion of the sheet 12 contacts the food 118 and the edge region 20 extending out of the rim 117 extends downward along the sidewall of the dish 116. The weight 34 then enters a heating process in a state of being placed at the bottom of the microwave oven, for example.

The present invention has been described with respect to embodiments that are somewhat specific.

However, the present invention may be modified or changed to some extent without departing from the scope of the present invention.
