Cooking appliance

Abstract

To solve the problem that in many cases, a cooking appliance is provided with a handle, and the handle is heated by heat from flame, and a trivet cannot be removed from a top plate until the trivet is cooled, because the trivet is heated by flame during heating and cooking, although the trivet is required to be removed from the top plate because the trivet is obstructive at the time of cleaning of the top plate when boiling-over or the like occurs on the top plate.SOLUTION: A plurality of leg parts is formed downward from a lower surface of a bottom part of a cooking appliance body, and lower ends of the plurality of leg parts are brought into contact with an upper surface of the top plate and are self-supported on the upper surface to secure a space required for cooking between the bottom part of the cooking appliance and a gas burner. A wall part for preventing hot air from the gas burner from acting on the handle is formed in a part corresponding to the handle provided on a side surface of the cooking appliance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cooking utensil having legs at its bottom for supporting itself. [Background technology]

[0002] Cooking utensils such as frying pans and pots are placed above a gas burner, and the flame from the gas burner heats the bottom of the utensil, thereby cooking the food stored inside (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] In order to ensure an appropriate space between the gas burner and the bottom surface of the cooking utensil, a trivet is provided around the gas burner, and the cooking utensil is placed on the trivet when in use. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2011-117645 A (Fig. 1) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The trivet is placed on the top plate so as to surround the gas stove, so when the top plate is cleaned in the event of overflow, the trivet gets in the way and must be removed from the top plate. However, the trivet is heated by the flame during cooking, so it cannot be touched with bare hands until it cools down, and so cannot be removed from the top plate, resulting in a loss of time before cleaning the top plate can begin. In addition, cooking utensils often have handles on the side, but when the handles are heated by the heat from the flame, the handles cannot be gripped with bare hands, which is an inconvenience.

[0006] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a cooking utensil having a top plate that is easy to clean and capable of preventing the handle from overheating. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the cooking utensil of the present invention is a cooking utensil that is placed above a gas burner provided on a top plate and is used to cook food stored inside, the cooking utensil having a bottom that opens upward and a plurality of legs extending downward from the underside of the bottom of the cooking utensil body that stores the food, the lower ends of the plurality of legs abutting the top surface of the top plate and standing independently on the top surface, thereby securing the space necessary for cooking between the bottom of the cooking utensil and the gas burner, and a wall portion is formed in the part corresponding to the handle provided on the side of the cooking utensil to prevent hot air from the gas burner from acting on the handle.

[0008] In the case of a conventional cooking utensil not provided with the wall portion, the leg portion and the wall portion may be provided so as to be detachable from the cooking utensil body. Effect of the Invention

[0009] As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention provides a wall portion on the cooking utensil side that serves as a trivet, making the trivet unnecessary and making it easier to clean the top plate. In addition, by positioning the wall portion at a position where hot air does not act on the handle, the handle can be prevented from being heated by the hot air from the flame. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 shows a configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2] Cross-section of a cooking utensil [Diagram 3] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which the cooking utensil and the wall are separated. [Figure 4]FIG. 1 shows a state in which a wall portion is attached to a cooking appliance having a sloping side surface. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a gas stove, and a top plate 13 provided on the upper surface is provided with two gas burners 11, one on each side. Note that in addition to the gas stove 1, a built-in gas stove may be used, and three gas burners 11 may be provided on the top plate 13.

[0012] The feature of this gas stove 1 is that a trivet surrounding the gas burner 11 is not provided on the top plate 13. Reference numeral 12 denotes a pot bottom sensor that abuts against the outside of the bottom surface of the cooking utensil 2 to detect the temperature of the bottom surface.

[0013] Meanwhile, the cooking utensil 2 is provided with a handle 21 extending outward and a storage section 22 for storing food to be cooked inside. A conventional cooking utensil is composed of a handle 21 and a storage section 22, but the cooking utensil 2 according to the present invention is characterized in that a large wall section 23 is provided at the position where the handle 21 is provided and a small wall section 24 is provided at a position opposite to this wall section 23.

[0014] 2, the vertical dimensions of both walls 23, 24 are set so that the lower ends of both walls 23, 24 abut against the top plate 13. Therefore, when cooking is completed, the cooking utensil 2 can be moved to the table as it is, and the walls 23, 24 can serve as legs to place the cooking utensil 2 on the table.

[0015] In addition, when placed on the top plate 13, an appropriate space can be secured between the bottom surface of the heating cooking utensil 2 and the gas burner 11, so that the flame generated around the gas burner 11 can be appropriately applied to the bottom surface of the heating cooking utensil 2.

[0016] However, in conventional cooking utensils, the hot air from the flame flows out from the bottom surface to the periphery of the cooking utensil, in particular heating the handle 21. However, in the present invention, a wall portion 23 is provided at a position corresponding to the handle 21, thereby preventing the hot air from acting on the handle 21.

[0017] As described above, the conventional cooking utensils do not have the walls 23, 24. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 3, a removable wall addition member 4 can be attached to the conventional cooking utensil 3. This wall addition member 4 is formed by welding a large wall 41 and a small wall 42 to the bottom surface of an annular base 43 having an L-shaped cross section, with a part of the annular base 43 cut out and a fastening part 44 including a screw provided in the cut-out part. The wall addition member 4 can be attached to the cooking utensil 3 by narrowing the diameter of the base 43 by fastening the fastening part 44 with the cooking utensil 3 fitted into the base 43.

[0018] 4, when the outer peripheral surface of the cooking utensil 5 is inclined, elastic hooks 64 may be formed upward from the base 63 of the wall additional member 6, and these hooks 64 may be configured to engage with the upper surface of the cooking utensil 5. Then, a large wall portion 61 and a small wall portion 62 may be welded to the bottom of the base 63, and the wall additional member 6 may be attached to the cooking utensil 5 so that the large wall portion 61 is located at a position corresponding to the handle 51. Incidentally, as is common to all the above-mentioned embodiments, a centring guide 64 may be formed inward at the lower ends of both walls 61, 62 so that the center of the cooking utensil and the center of the gas burner 11 coincide with each other.

[0019] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
