Cooker for microwave oven {Cooker usable in microwave range}

The present invention relates to a cooking utensil, and more particularly, to a microwave cooking utensil for cooking using a microwave oven.

In today's busy society, fast food-based fast foods are rapidly increasing in the form of hamburgers, sandwiches, breads or fully cooked warms. However, it has been found that these instant foods can cause adult diseases such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases in humans due to high calories and additives such as pigments or preservatives to increase the marketability.

Therefore, in recent years, interest in foods that can be cooked quickly while providing excellent nutrition and stability has increased. Typical examples include meals such as fruits, vegetables such as cucumbers, pumpkins, carrots, sweet potatoes and potatoes, or snacks (cookies), chips or sacks that can be easily cooked directly using meat or fish in the form of sachets. I'm getting attention. These foods can add the crispy texture and flavor by cooking seasonings by themselves or at home, and can be used as snacks for infants and children as well as adults.

Cooking food using a microwave is advantageous in speed, efficiency and cost compared to cooking using other heating means such as an oven or a gas stove. If the above-mentioned fruit or vegetable ingredients are thinly sliced to make sliced pieces and heated and baked in a microwave oven, it will be easy to make a meal replacement meal or snack. Since these meal replacement foods and sweets are cooked in the form of sliced pieces, if the ingredients stick to the surface of the cooking utensil for heating in the microwave, the drying and baking process fails, and cooking is not possible. Difficult to remove the material may cause inconvenience in the cooking process. In addition, since the microwave oven may be exposed to high temperature and food may directly touch the surface, the cooking utensil is required to have high temperature stability and be easily cleaned after cooking.

Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to prevent the food material in the form of slices is uniformly heated in the microwave oven, and to prevent the food from adhering to the cooking utensils, to obtain a high-quality cooking result, It is to provide a microwave cooking utensil having a high temperature stability suitable for use in the range and easy to clean after use.

In some embodiments, the protrusions may protrude from 0.2 mm to 5 mm from the major surface of the top surface of the food material support plate. In addition, the protrusion may have a hemisphere or semi-ellipse shape.

In some embodiments, the food material support plate and the plurality of legs may be integrally formed. In addition, the cooking appliance for a microwave oven may be formed of a silicone-based elastic body.

In some embodiments, the microwave cooking utensil has a thickness greater than a thickness of the central portion of the food support plate in the direction horizontal and perpendicular to the main surface of the food support plate, at the edge of the back surface of the food support plate. And an edge portion integrally embossed from the back surface of the food material support plate. The edge portion may have a thickness in the range of 2 to 15 times based on the thickness of the central portion of the food material support plate.

In some embodiments, the plurality of legs may be disposed on the edge and integrally formed with the edge. Each of the plurality of legs may include a rib portion extending from an inner wall of the leg to one surface of the edge portion.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, by the protrusions provided on the main surface of the food material support plate, it is possible to effectively separate the food material containing a lot of moisture from the surface of the food material support plate during the cooking process, through the holes With the help of the discharge of flowing vaporized water vapor, food ingredients in the form of slices are uniformly heated in the microwave oven, and foods are prevented from adhering to the cooking utensils, thereby providing a high-quality cooking result.

1A and 1B, the cooking apparatus 100 for a microwave includes a food material support plate 10 on which food ingredients FS in the form of slice pieces are placed for cooking and a food material support plate from an inner bottom of the microwave oven. (Includes a plurality of legs 20 supporting 100. The food material support plate 10 has a top surface 10U and a back surface (see 10B in FIG. 2A), and between the top surface 10U and the back surface 10B. Discrete arrays of spaced apart holes 10 penetrating through each other, discretely formed protrusions 12 are formed on a peripheral surface (hereinafter referred to as a main surface) on which holes 10 on the upper surface 10U are formed. As shown in FIG. 1A, the holes 11 and the protrusions 12 may be arranged to have a regular pattern.

The protrusions 12 separate the food materials FS from the surface of the food material support plate 10 so that the food materials FS placed on the food material support plate 10 are not entirely attached to the main surface. Let's do it. For this purpose, the projections 12 may protrude from 0.2 mm to 5 mm from the main surface of the food material support plate 11. The protrusion 12 may have a hemisphere or semi-ellipse shape, as shown in FIG. 1B. However, this is exemplary, and the protrusion 1b may have a pillar structure having a horizontal cross section such as a circle or a square.

When the moisture of the food ingredients FS is heated and vaporized by the microwaves irradiated to the food ingredients FS, proper discharge of the vaporized water vapor is required. The protrusions 12 can effectively separate the moisture-rich food ingredients FS from the surface of the food material support plate 10 during the cooking process, so that the vaporized water vapor flows through the holes 11. Help ease the discharge. As a result, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the food ingredients in the form of slices are uniformly heated in the microwave oven, and the food is prevented from adhering to the cooking utensil, thereby obtaining a high-fidelity cooking result.

In some embodiments, the cooking utensil 100 for the microwave may further include a flange portion 13 which protrudes around the food material support plate 10 to provide an upwardly flat surface. The flange portion 13 may be used when laminating them for storing two or more microwave cooking utensils 100. Two or more microwave cooking utensils 100 are stacked by supporting the lower ends of the legs 20 of the other microwave cooking utensils 100 stacked on the flat surfaces exposed to the upper portion of the flange portion 13. Can lose. The legs 20 supported in this way may be fixed to an outer circumference of the food material support plate 10 of the cooking apparatus 100 for a microwave oven in the lower part.

In some embodiments, a dam 14 may be further formed on the edge of the top surface 10U of the food material support plate 10 of the cooking appliance 100 for microwave oven. The dam unit 14 may prevent food from falling out of the food material support plate 10 during the cooking process by receiving the food materials FS placed on the food material support plate 10.

In some embodiments, the food support plate 10 and the plurality of legs 20 may be integrally formed. The material of the cooking utensil 100 for a microwave oven is easy to be integrally formed by a mold, and may be selected from materials that are transparent to microwaves and are thermally stable and harmless to human bodies. For example, the material of the cooking appliance 100 for a microwave oven may be a silicone rubber. The silicone rubber may not only satisfy the above-described material requirements, but also have elasticity, so that the silicone rubber may be easily broken and thus easily handled in the kitchen.

2A is a rear view of the microwave cooking utensil 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view of the microwave cooking utensil cut along the line II-II ′ of FIG. 2A. For the constituent members shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B with the same reference numerals as those described above with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B, reference may be made to the above-described disclosure unless otherwise contradicted.

2A and 2B, the legs 20 of the cooking utensil 200 for microwave ovens may be six. However, this is exemplary and the legs 20 may have a suitable number, for example 4 to 8, as long as it can mechanically support the food material support plate 10 even in an instantaneous high temperature atmosphere.

Instantaneous heat deformation may occur in the food support plate 10 and the plurality of legs 20 due to the heated food material during cooking by the microwave. As described above, when the food material support plate 10 and the plurality of legs 20 of the microwave cooking utensil 200 are integrally manufactured using silicone rubber, instantaneous thermal deformation may occur during cooking. In this case, the food ingredients FS placed on the food material support plate (see 10 in FIG. 1B) may be attached to each other while moving away from the cooking utensil 200 for the microwave oven, or the completion of cooking may be reduced. Thus, in one embodiment of the present invention, the thickness t1 of the food material support plate 10 may be in the range of 1 mm to 3 mm so that the food material support plate 10 has a suitable thermal strength. If it is less than 1 mm, the elasticity of the food material support plate 10 is increased, but thermal deformation may occur, and if it exceeds 3 mm, it is not suitable because it is difficult and heavy to handle due to the increase in strength accordingly.

In one embodiment, it is possible to provide a constant tensile force in the circumferential direction from the center of the food support plate 10 so that the food support plate 10 can be kept taut even in the instantaneous high temperature environment during cooking. An edge 15 may be provided on the back side of the support plate. The edge portion 15 may be integrally formed with the back surface 10B of the food material support plate 10.

The thickness of the edge portion 15, the first thickness t2 in the direction perpendicular to the main surface, and the second thickness t3 in the horizontal direction are all compared with the thickness t1 of the main surface of the food material support plate 10. Larger, the edge portion 15 may be embossed to protrude on the back surface of the food material support plate 10B. In some embodiments, the thickness t2 or t3 of the embossed edge 15 may be in the range of 2 to 15 times based on the thickness t1 of the central portion of the food material support plate.

When the food material support plate 10 is disc-shaped, the edge portion 15 looks like a thick ring and is integral with the food material support plate 10B, so there is no need to separate it for cleaning, cooking for a microwave oven during cooking While maintaining the thermal strength of the instrument 100 there is an advantage that does not cause inconvenience after cleaning.

In some embodiments, the plurality of legs 20 may be integrally formed on the edge 15. The thickness t4 of the plurality of legs 20 may be smaller than the second thickness t3 of the edge portion 15, thereby reducing the weight of the cooking appliance for a microwave oven. However, as the thickness t4 of the plurality of legs 20 becomes thinner, the supporting force of the legs 20 may be weakened during cooking. In this case, each of the plurality of legs 20 includes a rib portion 25 (see partial enlarged view of the area indicated by the circle in FIG. 2B) extending from the inner wall 20S of the leg to one surface of the edge portion 15. can do. The rib portion 25 may have a thickness that is similar to the thickness t4 of the corresponding leg 20, and even if the thickness of the legs 20 is not prematurely increased, the ribs 25 have the same effect of increasing the legs ( The compression and tensile stress of 20) can be improved to prevent the legs 20 from weakening during cooking and bending.
