Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a tempura pan auxiliary tool that can efficiently prevent oil from splashing when cooking fried foods such as tempura.
Background Art
[0002] Generally, when cooking fried foods such as tempura, there has been a problem that oil splashes and stains the area around the pan and the cooking counter. Therefore, after cooking, it took a lot of time to wipe off the splashed oil.
[0003] To solve these problems, there are a tempura pan oil strainer and a tempura pan that can attach an oil splash prevention plate to a general pan using the tempura pan oil strainer (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0004] The tempura pan oil strainer and the tempura pan of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 are characterized in that a locking mechanism is provided on an oil strainer body provided in a bridging state at the upper opening of the tempura pan to lock an oil splash prevention plate and hold the oil splash prevention plate in an upright state.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] However, the oil strainer and the tempura pan of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 have a problem that they require large-scale members, which leads to an increase in cost. Also, after use, the oil strainer itself had to be cleaned, which was time-consuming for cleanup.
[0006] Therefore, in view of the above points, the present invention provides a tempura pan auxiliary tool that can be realized with a simple structure and can be disposable, and can further efficiently prevent oil from splashing when cooking fried foods such as tempura.
Means for Solving the Problem
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the tempura pot accessory of the present invention is characterized by comprising a main body portion composed of an upper opening portion, a lower opening portion, and a side surface portion formed between the upper opening portion and the lower opening portion, and a plurality of foldable clamping pieces continuously provided below the side surface portion of the main body portion.
[0008] Further, a bending portion is provided at a substantially central portion in the width direction of the clamping piece.
[0009] Furthermore, a dividable cut is provided on the side surface portion.
Advantages of the Invention
[0010] Since a structure is formed in which a plurality of foldable clamping pieces are continuously provided below the side surface portion on the main body portion composed of the side surface portion formed between the upper opening portion and the lower opening portion, the manufacturing cost and material cost can be reduced. Also, since it can be disposable, the trouble of cleaning up after cooking can be saved.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0012] The tempura pan accessory of the present invention is characterized in that it has a simple structure and can be disposable, and further, it can efficiently prevent the scattering of oil when cooking fried foods such as tempura. Hereinafter, the details of the tempura pan accessory will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0013] The illustrated tempura pan accessory 1 is attached to the opening 3 of a tempura pan 2 for cooking fried foods such as tempura, and is made of an aluminum sheet having fire resistance, water resistance, heat resistance, and appropriate strength, and is further bendable.
[0014] The tempura pan accessory 1 is formed of a main body portion 10 composed of an upper opening 11, a lower opening 12, and a side surface portion 13 formed between the upper opening 11 and the lower opening 12.
[0015] In particular, a plurality of bendable clamping pieces 15 continuously provided from the side surface portion 13 are formed below 14 of the side surface portion 13. The clamping pieces 15 are bent and continuously provided in a slightly right-angled state below 14 of the side surface portion 13.
[0016] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the clamping pieces 15 are attached to the opening 3 of the tempura pan 2 in a bent state. The number of the clamping pieces 15 is not particularly limited, but it is particularly desirable to form 8 pieces as shown in the drawing.
[0017] As another preferred example, a bending portion 16 may be provided at a substantially central portion in the width direction of the clamping piece 15. The bending portion 16 can be formed by providing uneven portions at a substantially central portion in the width direction of the clamping piece 15. By providing the bending portion 16, the clamping piece 15 can be easily bent and attached to the opening 3 of the tempura pan 2.
[0018] As another preferred example, a separable cut 17 may be provided on the side surface portion 13. By providing the cut 17 on the side surface portion 13 of the main body portion 10, the main body portion 10 spreads out in a fan shape as shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, it can be freely attached to a large-diameter tempura pan. At this time, although a gap is generated between the side surface portions 13 of the main body portion 10, this gap portion can be eliminated by attaching a filler 18 thereto.
[0019] Next, a method of using the tempura pan auxiliary tool of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. First, the bent portion 16 of the sandwiching piece 15 is arranged on the peripheral edge 4 of the opening portion 3 of the tempura pan 2, and the leading end portion of the sandwiching piece 15 is folded into the inner surface of the tempura pan 2.
[0020] Next, the side surface portion 13 side of the sandwiching piece 15 is folded into the outer surface of the tempura pan 2. By folding a plurality of sandwiching pieces 15 in this way, the tempura pan auxiliary tool 1 can be attached to the peripheral edge 4 of the tempura pan 2.
[0021] By attaching the sandwiching piece 15 to the peripheral edge 4 of the tempura pan 2, the side surface portion 13 of the main body portion 10 is arranged above the peripheral edge 4 of the tempura pan 2. As a result, it is possible to efficiently prevent the scattering of oil during cooking.
[0022] In addition, by providing the separable cut 17 on the side surface portion 13, it can be easily attached to a large-diameter tempura pan. The height of the side surface portion 13 and the length of the sandwiching piece 15 can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the size of the tempura pan.
[0023] In addition, since the tempura pan auxiliary tool 1 of the present invention is made of an aluminum sheet, it can be manufactured in large quantities and at low cost. Therefore, after use, the main body portion 10 can be discarded without being cleaned, realizing high convenience.
