Cooking Finger Cots

Abstract

To provide a cooking sack which enables a user to stably grasp ingredients without slipping during cooking work, improves work efficiency, and prevents the heat of the body temperature of the fingertips from being transmitted to the ingredients, thereby preventing the deterioration of the ingredients due to heat. [Solution] The cooking finger cot of this invention has thicker fabric in the area of ​​the main body that corresponds to the fingerprint area, and anti-slip measures are taken on the inside and outside to prevent heat from the fingers from being transferred to the food.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a finger cot for use when cooking, with a processed fingerprint area. [Background technology]

[0002] Cooking is almost always done with gloves on. However, most of them are made of vinyl or polyester, and the thin material means that body heat from the fingers is easily transferred to the gloves when handling food. In addition, depending on the material of the gloves, some food items can be slippery or difficult to hold. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] When working with cooking gloves, the issue is that body heat is transferred to the food through the fingers due to the thinness of the glove material. In addition, depending on the characteristics of the food, it can be difficult to hold or slippery, making cooking difficult.

[0007] Although there have been prior applications for cooking gloves and cooking finger cots, their purpose was to protect the fingers. These were intended to prevent fingers from being cut by blades such as knives, or to protect the hands from the heat of cooking utensils, which are fundamentally different from the purpose of use of the present invention.

[0008] Cooking gloves, which have a surface treatment applied according to the purpose, are fine for use for that purpose, but when used for other tasks, the treated parts can cause problems and even hinder the work.

[0009] We investigated whether commercially available finger cots could solve the above problems, but they were too short, so bending the first joint would cause an uneasy movement, which would be considered a hindrance when cooking. In addition, the thickness of the fingerprint area does not seem sufficient. Furthermore, commercially available finger cots are worn directly on bare hands, but finger cots for cooking are worn over cooking gloves, so the inside of the body also needs to be treated to be non-slip. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] This device is specialized in two points: preventing body heat from being transferred to the food, and enabling the food that is difficult to grasp to be firmly grasped, improving the efficiency of cooking work and helping the food retain its shape. Therefore, it should only be used in situations that meet these two points during cooking.

[0011] When you actually hold food in your hand, the part of your finger that comes into direct contact with it is the area above the first joint that corresponds to your fingerprint. Therefore, we thought it would be best to improve only this area, and chose the finger cot design rather than improving the entire glove.

[0012] This invention prevents body heat from being transferred to food through the fingers by making the material of the finger cot significantly thicker at the fingerprint area. The width of the material to be thickened is 1mm or more and less than 10mm. In addition, the surface of this area is given fine projections to prevent slipping.

[0013] In this invention, the finger cot is worn over the cooking gloves, so there is also the issue of breathability. For this reason, ventilation holes are provided on both the front and back of the finger cot. These holes act as a cushioning material for the finger cot body when bending the fingers to work, so as not to impede movement. When bending the fingers, the outer joint of the finger is slightly higher than the first joint on the inside of the finger. For this reason, the position of the ventilation holes is slightly higher on the back than on the front.

[0014] As mentioned above, this device is to be worn over cooking gloves, and to prevent slipping over the gloves, the inside of the body is processed with small protrusions. The length of the finger cot is also secured to cover the first joint completely and reach close to the second joint. The length of this device is between 25mm and 60mm.

[0015] When using this device, multiple finger cots are needed because they are worn on all fingers. In this case, the thickness of the fingers is different. The thumb is thick and the little finger is thin. The ring finger, middle finger, and index finger are roughly in between, so three finger cots of different thicknesses will be prepared.

[0016] As mentioned above, by using the finger cot of this invention when cooking, it is possible to prevent body heat from being transferred to the ingredients and to hold even difficult-to-grasp ingredients steadily, which leads to improved work efficiency when cooking.

[0017] Here is an example from cooking. The spherical ice called ice balls used in whiskey highballs are generally made by shaving cubes of ice into a sphere, and this device is thought to be the best for this type of work. The body heat of the fingers is not transferred to the ice, and the ice can be grasped stably. In this case, the fingers are also protected from the coldness of the ice. It is thought that the maximum effect can be achieved when making frozen desserts.

[0018] Another example is when peeling a peach, which prevents body heat from being transferred to the fruit, and when cooking soft ingredients, the user may end up squeezing the fruit too tightly, which can damage the shape of the ingredient. By using this device, it is easy to deal with such problems. It is also thought to be effective when cooking whole fruits.

[0019] As mentioned above, this device is a finger cot, and it is easy to remove it when not in use. If it is properly washed and sterilized, it can be reused many times. It is more versatile than cooking gloves. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0021] The finger cot of this invention is actually used by putting it on over cooking gloves. There are ventilation holes on both the front and back, which not only allow for ventilation but also act as a cushion when you bend your fingers, allowing the entire finger cot to move smoothly.

Claims

[Claim 1] A finger cot for cooking, characterized in that the part of the finger corresponding to the fingerprint, which is the distal part of the finger, is made thick and the surface is also given fine projections as a measure to prevent slipping.
