Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to cooking utensils, and in particular to a double-sided steaming rack and a cooking utensil. Background Art

[0002] In the cooking utensils used for steaming and boiling in daily life, the steaming rack is a commonly used accessory. The function of the steaming rack is to support the food and place the food above the water surface, so that the high-temperature steam can better heat the food. The general steaming rack includes a support plate and a support leg arranged on one side of the support plate. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN213371391U discloses a portable breakfast machine, which includes a base, a cooking pot and a steaming rack. The steaming rack is placed in the cooking pot through the support leg on one side. The support plate of the steaming rack also has a plurality of egg steaming cavities, through which the eggs can be stably placed on the steaming rack. It can be seen that the general steaming rack can only be used on one side, and the purpose is relatively single. In addition, there is no handle structure on the steaming rack, which is not convenient for placing and carrying the steaming rack. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned problems existing in the steaming rack and cooking utensils in the prior art, the present invention provides a steaming rack that can be used on both sides, comprising a flat bracket body, on which a plurality of air holes are arranged; it is characterized in that it also comprises at least three upper supporting feet and at least three lower supporting feet arranged at the side positions of the bracket body, the upper supporting feet extending in an upward direction, and the lower supporting feet extending in a downward direction; a central through hole is arranged in the middle of the bracket body, and a central egg tray arranged along the periphery of the central through hole is also arranged on the upper side wall of the bracket body, and the height of the protrusion of the central egg tray is not higher than the upper supporting feet; it also comprises a bracket handle horizontally placed in the central through hole, the two ends of the bracket handle are connected to the inner side wall of the central through hole, the upper side wall of the bracket handle is not higher than the upper side wall surface of the bracket body, and the bracket handle divides the central through hole into a left through hole and a right through hole for facilitating the insertion of fingers.

[0004] The support body is the main structure of the steaming rack for supporting food, and is also a partition separating water and food. It is in the shape of a flat plate, and the hot steam at the bottom can flow to the upper part of the support body through the air holes on the support body to heat the food at the upper part. By arranging upper and lower supporting feet on the upper and lower side walls of the support body, both sides of the support body can be used.

[0005] The upper support leg and the lower support leg are protruding support structures respectively connected to the upper side wall and the lower side wall of the bracket body, and in a specific embodiment, they can be cylindrical support legs or cross-intersecting support rib structures. The upper support leg and the lower support leg are used to provide support for the bracket body when the steaming rack is placed upside down, and the upper support leg and the lower support leg can be coaxially arranged or staggered.

[0006] The central through hole is a through hole structure arranged in the middle area of ​​the bracket body, and the radial dimension of the central through hole is larger than that of the air-permeable through hole, so that fingers can be inserted into any side through hole divided by the bracket handle. In addition, the axial height of the central through hole is mainly affected by the material thickness of the bracket body, but convex ribs can be added around the central through hole to increase the axial height of the central through hole accordingly.

[0007] The support handle is a rod-shaped structure extending radially and placed transversely in the central through hole, and the two ends of the support handle are connected to the side walls of the central through hole, thereby dividing the central through hole into two left and right through holes. In order to be able to grab the support handle when the steaming rack is placed forward or reversely, and not to affect the placement of food, the support handle is generally arranged along the extension direction of the support body, and the upper side wall of the support handle does not exceed the upper side wall surface of the support body, and the lower side wall does not exceed the lower side wall surface of the support body.

[0008] The central egg tray is a structure for supporting eggs that is only arranged on the upper side wall of the support body. The specific structure of the central egg tray can be in the shape of a ring or composed of a plurality of arc-shaped support plates arranged at intervals. The ring or arc-shaped support plates are connected to the periphery of the central through hole. Since the support handle is arranged in the central through hole, in order to allow the eggs to be supported by the central egg tray, an arc-shaped groove is generally provided in the middle of the upper side wall of the support handle, and the arc-shaped groove is used to avoid the eggs.

[0009] According to the above technical scheme, compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are: first, by respectively arranging the upper supporting feet and the lower supporting feet on the upper and lower sides of the bracket body, the steaming rack can be placed on both sides, that is, it can be used on both sides, for example, one side is used for steaming eggs and the other side is used for steaming buns, thereby improving the adaptability of the steaming rack; second, by arranging a central through hole on the bracket body and arranging a bracket handle in the central through hole, on the one hand, the protrusion of the bracket handle affecting the placement of eggs or buns is reduced, and on the other hand, the steaming rack can be carried by the bracket handle when it is placed forward or reversely, which is very convenient; third, the air permeability of the central through hole is fully utilized, and a central egg tray is arranged to fully utilize the space in the middle position, and the bracket handle is stored in the central through hole and is not higher than the upper side wall surface of the bracket body, in order to avoid the eggs so that the central egg tray plays a major supporting role.

[0010] Since the double-sided steaming rack has the above advantages, it can be applied to cooking utensils, including a pot and the double-sided steaming rack, and the double-sided steaming rack is used to be placed in the pot. When the lower supporting legs are used for support, eggs can be supported by the central egg tray and the peripheral egg trays arranged on the upper side wall of the support body, and when the upper supporting legs are used for support, snacks or dishes can be supported by the relatively flat lower side wall of the support body.

[0011] Since the present invention has the above characteristics and advantages, it can be applied to a steaming rack and a cooking utensil that can be used on both sides. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
