Description

A multifunctional cooking utensil

The invention relates to the field of cookware technology, and in particular to a multifunctional cooking utensil.

Traditional cooking methods primarily rely on single appliances like stoves and woks, which can only perform single cooking tasks, such as heating food and stir-frying ingredients. With the improvement of people's living standards and changes in dietary patterns, the demand for cooking tools is constantly evolving. Traditional cooking utensils can no longer meet the needs of modern kitchens.

This invention provides a multifunctional cooking utensil to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

This invention embodiment adopts the following technical solution: a multifunctional cooking utensil, including a wok, a cooking pot, an inner lid, a steam tray, and a steamer basket; the inner lid can be placed on the rim of the wok or cooking pot and fit therewith; the wok or cooking pot can be placed on the inverted inner lid; the wok and cooking pot can fit together; the steam tray, steamer basket, and inner lid can be placed between the wok and cooking pot.

Furthermore, woks and cooking pots have different depths.

Furthermore, the bottoms of the frying pan and the cooking pot are both provided with a plurality of protrusions.

Furthermore, ventilation holes are provided on the inner cover.

Furthermore, the center of the inner cover is relatively concave to form a concave area.

Furthermore, the ventilation holes are arranged in the recessed area.

Furthermore, a handle is provided in the middle of the recessed area.

Furthermore, the rim of the wok matches the rim of the cooking pot.

Furthermore, the steam tray and steamer basket are at different heights.

Furthermore, the steam tray is provided with two handles.

This invention has the following beneficial effects: it consists of five main parts: a frying pan, a cooking pot, an inner lid, a steam tray, and a steamer basket.

These five parts can be flexibly combined as needed to achieve different cooking methods.

For example, a wok and a cooking pot can be used separately for frying, stir-frying, boiling, etc.; a steam tray and a steamer basket can be placed between the wok and the cooking pot for steaming, stewing, etc.

Each part is cleverly designed. For example, the inner lid provides protection and sealing, and can even be used as a heat-insulating pad when turned upside down. The wok also doubles as a tightly sealed upper lid, and the inner lid complements the wok. The resulting micro-pressure enhances the flavor of ingredients, making rice, soup, and stews easier to cook, while also saving energy.

To further clarify the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention, the following provides a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of this invention, combined with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of this invention, not all of its embodiments. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this invention, without further development, are also protected by this invention.

The following, combined with the accompanying drawings, details the technical solutions provided by each embodiment of this invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a multifunctional cooking utensil is provided with five accessories, namely: a frying pan 1 , a cooking pot 2 , an inner cover 3 , a steam tray 4 , and a steamer basket 5 .

Assemble the five accessories as follows: Wok 1, Cooking Pot 2: Wok 1 and Cooking Pot 2 have the same structure, differing in depth; they can be used for cooking methods such as frying, and have multiple raised parts 1/2a on the bottom. These raised parts 1/2a can be used for waterless cooking to prevent sticking.

Inner lid 3, wok 1, cooking pot 2: Referring to Figures 2 and 3, inner lid 3 serves as a protective and sealing accessory. It can be placed on the rims of wok 1 and cooking pot 2 to seal them relative to each other, thereby maintaining internal pressure for micro-pressure cooking, making rice, soup, and stews easier to cook and saving energy. At the same time, inner lid 3 also has ventilation holes 3a to allow water vapor to escape while preventing heat from dissipating in the pot.

Steam tray 4, steamer basket 5, wok 1, cooking pot 2: Referring to Figures 6-9, the rims of the wok 1 and the cooking pot 2 match, and the two can form a sealed fit. More preferably, the wok 1 can be used as a lid on the top, and the cooking pot 2 is at the bottom. The steam tray 4 or steamer basket 5 can be placed between the wok 1 and the cooking pot 2 for steaming or stewing. Because the wok 1 does not have a vent hole 3a, this combination has a stronger seal and is more suitable for slow cooking. It can maintain the internal pressure. At the same time, the texture formed by the raised portion 1/2a of the cover, that is, the wok 1, allows the water vapor to rise and condense back into water droplets more quickly, so that the moisture in the food will not evaporate too much and the original flavor of the food will be maintained. Among them, the steam tray 4 The structure is similar to the steamer basket 5, but the difference is the height, which allows the multifunctional cooking utensil of this invention to have more options when using it. Food can be steamed while cooking rice, or while cooking soup or stew, making this cooker an all-in-one solution for various dishes; another difference is that the steam tray 4 has two handles, which makes it easier to lift and remove the steam tray 4; referring to Figure 10, the rim of the wok 1 matches the steam tray, and the steam tray 4 can be placed firmly on the wok 1, creating a convenient resting point, allowing the steam tray 4 to be raised and away from the surface of the table or workbench, keeping the food dry and clean before cooking, and preventing the condensed water from the steam from contaminating the surface of the table or workbench after cooking.

Inner cover 3, frying pan 1, cooking pot 2: Referring to Figures 11-13, the inner cover 3 can be placed in the middle of the frying pan 1 and the cooking pot 2, which is equivalent to a double cover. The middle of the inner cover 3 is relatively concave to form a concave area 3b, and the air vent 3a is set in the concave area 3b. At the same time, a handle is also provided in the middle of the concave area 3b to facilitate lifting and disassembly. This design mainly increases the benefits of slow cooking. More precisely, when the steam from the bottom rises through the air vent 3a and hits the upper cover, the frying pan is cooked. The lines formed by these raised portions 1/2a on the cooking pot 1 allow steam to condense more quickly into water droplets that drip down through the vents 3a, allowing the food at the bottom to retain moisture and have a richer flavor. Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the inner lid 3 also serves as a protective accessory. When the inner lid 3 is turned upside down, the concave area 3b acts as a protrusion, increasing the distance between the bottom of the pot and the table surface. This allows the inner lid 3 to serve as an insulating pad. When the wok 1 or cooking pot 2 is placed on the inner lid 3, the table or work surface can be protected from heat.

The foregoing description is merely an example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
