Inner pot of a reduced-sugar rice cooker

Abstract

An inner pot of a starch-reducing cooking utensil is used to be accommodated in an outer pot having a peripheral top and an inner bottom surface. The inner pot includes a pot body and a protrusion. The pot body is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes and has an outer bottom surface. The protrusion protrudes from the pot body. The inner pot is accommodated in the outer pot, and the outer bottom surface is distanced from the inner bottom surface by being supported by the protrusion on the peripheral top to form a water containing space in the starch-reducing cooking utensil. Thus, the starch-reducing effect of draining the starch-containing liquid and the effect of facilitating the draining of the starch-containing liquid into the water containing space can be achieved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to rice cookers, and in particular to the inner pot of a low-carb rice cooker. Background Technology

[0002] Modern lifestyles, characterized by affluence, have led to a rise in the "three highs": high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. High blood sugar, in particular, causes the body to be constantly immersed in a sugary environment (high-glycemic blood), resulting in chronic inflammation and fragility of blood vessel walls. When blood vessels are unhealthy and blood flow is reduced, sufficient oxygen and nutrients cannot be delivered to organs effectively, leading to declining organ function and conditions such as cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, kidney dysfunction, and slow wound healing. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of starch (a polysaccharide), one of the factors that contributes to elevated blood sugar.

[0003] However, white rice, a staple food for Asians, is rich in starch, so doctors often advise patients with elevated glycated hemoglobin levels to eat less white rice.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a rice cooker that can reduce the starch content in rice is a major problem that the inventors urgently want to solve. Utility Model Content

[0005] One of the purposes of this application is to provide an inner pot for a low-carb rice cooker that can drain the starch contained in white rice along with the liquid during the cooking process, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing carbs.

[0006] The second objective of this application is to provide an inner pot for a low-carb rice cooker that allows the drained starchy liquid to be concentrated in the water-holding space inside the cooker.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an inner pot for a low-carb rice cooker, which is housed within an outer pot having a peripheral top and an inner bottom surface. The inner pot includes: a pot body having multiple water outlets and an outer bottom surface; and a protrusion protruding from the pot body. The inner pot is housed within the outer pot, and the inner pot is supported by the protrusion on the peripheral top, thereby creating a water-containing space within the low-carb rice cooker by distancing the outer bottom surface and the inner bottom surface of the inner pot from each other.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: in addition to reducing sugar by draining the starch contained in white rice along with the liquid during the cooking process, it can also concentrate the drained starch-containing liquid into the water-holding space inside the pot, making it easy to pour away or use for other purposes.

[0033] The detailed description and technical content of this application are explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying drawings are provided for reference and illustration only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0034] This application provides an inner pot for a low-carb rice cooker, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the reduced-carbohydrate rice cooker (hereinafter referred to as the cooker) includes: an inner pot 100, an outer pot 500, and a lid 700.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the outer pot 500 has an inner bottom surface 501, and the outer pot 500 also has an outer opening (not shown in the attached drawings) spaced apart from and opposite to the inner bottom surface 501. Furthermore, the outer pot 500 also has a circumferential top surface 51 corresponding to the outer opening. Specifically, the inner circumferential surface of the outer pot 500 is as follows... Figure 4 A thickened layer 5 is also formed, and the top edge 51 of the periphery is formed on the upper edge of the thickened layer 5.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the inner pot 100 is used to house the outer pot 500, and includes: a pot body 1 and a protrusion 3 protruding from the pot body 1.

[0037] The pot body 1 has multiple water outlets W for draining water, and includes: a ring wall 11 and a bottom plate 12 connected to each other. The ring wall 11 has an upper opening 115 facing each other (see...). Figure 4 ) and an opening (not indicated in the attached drawings), the base plate 12 corresponding to the opening and having an outer bottom surface 121 (see attached drawings). Figure 4 The ring wall 11 has an outer peripheral wall 111.

[0038] The protrusion 3 can be any object protruding from the ring wall 11. This application does not limit this. In this embodiment, a surrounding flange 31 protruding from and surrounding the outer peripheral wall 111 is used as an example. The surrounding flange 31 (or protrusion 3) preferably protrudes from the outer peripheral wall 111 along the diametrical direction of the upper opening 115 corresponding to the upper opening 115.

[0039] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, when the user places the inner pot 100 into the outer pot 500, the protrusion 3 of the inner pot 100 will be supported on the top 51 of the periphery of the outer pot 500, so that the outer bottom surface 121 of the inner pot 100 is separated from the inner bottom surface 501 of the outer pot 500, thereby forming a water-containing space S inside the pot. Finally, the lid 700 is placed on the outer opening of the outer pot 500.

[0040] Therefore, when the inner pot 100, along with the rice it contains, is placed into the outer pot 500 and the lid 700 is closed for cooking, some of the starch in the rice is drained out with the liquid. This starchy liquid will drain out of the inner pot 100 through the drain hole W and then drip into the water-holding space S. Thus, the starch content in the cooked rice is reduced, achieving the purpose of reducing sugar. Moreover, the drained starchy liquid is collected in the water-holding space S of the cookware, that is, in the outer pot 500, making it convenient for the user to pour out or use for other purposes. Furthermore, because there is a gap between the outer bottom surface 121 and the inner bottom surface 501, the starchy liquid collected in the outer pot 500 will not stick to the rice in the inner pot 100.

[0041] In addition, the inner pot 100 may also include a handle 4, which can be connected to the pot body 1 or the protrusion 3. This application does not limit this, but in this embodiment, it is described as being connected to the protrusion 3. Therefore, it can help the user take the hot inner pot 100 out of the outer pot 500 without burning their hands.

[0042] Specifically, the protrusion 3 is provided with one or more connecting parts 311, and the handle 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 311, so that the handle 4 can be used as... Figure 2 As shown, it can stand up by rotating, and can also lie flat on the protrusion 3 by rotating, so as to... Figure 4 The effect shown is that it does not prevent the lid 700 from closing properly.

[0043] In conclusion, the inner pot of the reduced-sugar rice cooker of this application can indeed achieve the intended use and effect, and can solve the shortcomings of the prior art. Therefore, this patent application is filed.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of the claims. Any equivalent structural changes made based on the description and drawings of this application are also included within the scope of the claims.
