Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This concerns utensils used for cooking and eating. [Background technology]
[0002] A tool used to pierce food before and after cooking, with the piercing part made of wood or bamboo, one with one piece is commercially available as a toothpick or bamboo skewer depending on its length, and two with two pieces are commercially available as a dengaku skewer. One with the piercing part made of metal is commercially available as a metal skewer, and multiple pieces are commercially available as a fork. Scooping tools that can be used on grills, tools that can be used to pierce or scoop food with the tip, and tools that can be used to scoop food in pots and frying pans have been devised, but the handle is rod-shaped or half-pipe, and there are no tools with a tubular handle.

[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] MonotaRO Co., Ltd. (22nd floor, JP Tower Osaka, 2-2-2 Umeda 3-chome, Kita-ku, Osaka 530-0001) Product Catalog Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In order to realize a sustainable society and eliminate abandoned bamboo forests, we hope to expand the use of bamboo. We propose cooking and eating utensils that can be made simply by cutting bamboo, can be used for small amounts of cooking and eating, are less dangerous to the body, do not risk damaging frying pans, do not take up space in the kitchen, and can be disposed of as combustible waste even if they are broken. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] A cooking or eating utensil consisting of a tube with two sticks protruding from one end, which can be held by the tube and used to scoop or stab ingredients during or after cooking. Effect of the Invention
[0007] The cooking and eating utensils of this invention can be made from bamboo with few processes, contributing to the realization of a sustainable society. They do not require bending and are easy to clean. They are suitable for small families cooking small amounts of food. They are less dangerous to the body than metal forks, do not damage frying pans, and do not take up space in the kitchen. [Brief description of the drawings]
[0008] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the cooking and eating utensil of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0009] The cooking and eating utensils of this invention can be made from bamboo, but the material is not limited to bamboo. EXAMPLES
[0010] A 3.5cm diameter, 24cm long bamboo piece was made with a 12cm long handle and two 12cm long, 1cm wide sticks protruding from it, and the corners were rounded to create the cooking and eating utensil of this invention. With this cooking and eating utensil, it was possible to scoop strawberry compote from a container and place it on toast with the syrup reduced, to flip a pumpkin that had been sliced and heated in the microwave and then stored in the refrigerator before heating it in a frying pan, and to stab and bite into a boiled egg that had been heated in soup. [Industrial Applicability]
[0011] The cooking and eating utensils of this invention are expected to be in demand among small households.
