More specifically, it relates to a cooking utensil system that is equipped in a kitchen and includes a set of kitchen tools and cooking implements that are used for cooking. [Background technology]

[0002] In an average home kitchen, there are a wide variety of cooking utensils, such as frying pans and pots used as containers for heating and stirring ingredients, and kitchen tools, such as ladles, turners, cooking spoons, and tongs, which are used in cooking along with these cooking utensils, and each is purchased separately as needed.In addition, when moving into a new home, a complete set of cooking utensils and kitchen tools may be purchased. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility model registration No. 3135168 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a kitchen tool that can be linked with cooking utensils, and to provide a cooking equipment system in which the link between the kitchen tool and cooking utensils is functionally unified. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the kitchen tool of the present invention is a kitchen tool equipped with a distal functional part, such as a ladle, turner, cooking spoon, or tong, which has the function of cooking by coming into contact with ingredients at the tip thereof, and is characterized in that the handle portion extending from the distal functional part toward the base end forms a magnetic part with a magnet inside in the part close to the distal functional part, the outer surface of the magnetic part forms a magnetically attracted surface with an attractive force due to magnetic force, the magnetic part protrudes outward from the distal functional part and forms a step between the magnetic part and the distal functional part, the outer surface of the handle portion forms a flat surface that continues from the magnetically attracted surface toward the base end, and when the magnetically attracted surface is adsorbed and supported by an attractive and fixed part of the cooking utensil to be adsorbed, the distal functional part is configured to be separated from the attractive and fixed part by the step.

[0006] Here, the tip functional part of a kitchen tool refers to the part that comes into contact with ingredients and performs cooking tasks directly, such as the scooping part of a ladle, the spatula-shaped turning part of a turner, the scooping part of a cooking spoon, or the tip part of tongs that is used to grasp food. In the embodiments described below, when the gripping part of the kitchen tool is held by the magnetic attraction surface in a substantially horizontal position, the magnetic attraction surface faces downward, and the tip functional part moves upward via a step in the kitchen tool, moving away from the attraction fixing part.

[0007] In addition, the cooking utensil system of the present invention is characterized in that a part of the cooking utensil used to cook ingredients is provided with an adhesive fixing part made of a material that can be magnetically attracted to the magnet part of the kitchen tool, and the kitchen tool can be adhesively supported on the cooking utensil by having the magnetic adhesive surface attached to the adhesive fixing part, and when the base end of the handle of the kitchen tool is lifted and the kitchen tool is tilted from a state in which it is adhesively supported on the adhesive fixing part of the cooking utensil, the corner of the step becomes a fulcrum, and the adhesive support state between the adhesive fixing part and the magnetic adhesive surface can be released.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the following configuration is adopted. (1) The suction fixing part is provided on the upper surface of the handle attached to the cooking utensil. Preferably, the handle is detachable from the cooking utensil.

[0009] (2) The suction fixing portion is provided on the top surface of the lid of the cooking utensil.

[0010] (3) The cooking implement has a detachable structure in which the implement body and the handle are separated, the implement body is provided with a hanging support part, and the handle has a mounting support part on the back side.

[0011] (4) A portion of the outer periphery of the lid of the cooking implement is hinged to the lid body so as to be movable up and down and open and close.

[0012] (5) The inside of the ladle or cooking spoon of the kitchen tool has measuring scales. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the kitchen tool of the present invention, when the magnetic attraction surface of the magnet part is attracted to and supported by the attraction and fixation part of the cooking utensil, the tip functional part of the kitchen tool can be supported at a distance from the attraction and fixation part, so that even if ingredients or seasonings etc. adhere to the tip functional part during cooking, they can be prevented from adhering to and contaminating the attraction and fixation part of the cooking utensil and its surroundings.

[0014] Kitchen tools such as ladles, turners, cooking spoons, and tongs are equipped with magnetic parts for attachment, and cooking implements such as lids and handles used with pots and frying pans are equipped with magnetic parts for attachment that attach to the magnetic parts of the kitchen tools. Therefore, when cooking needs to be temporarily interrupted, the kitchen tools can be temporarily attached to the cooking implements, eliminating the need to place them in a location far from the cooking implements. Furthermore, cooking can be resumed immediately after the interruption, allowing for efficient cooking.

[0015] Furthermore, when the magnet part is attached to the adhesive fixing part, by lifting the base end of the handle part of the kitchen tool at an angle, the magnetic adhesive surface, which is attached by a strong magnetic force, can be easily released from the adhesive fixing part.

[0016] Furthermore, because the outer surface of the gripping part forms a continuous flat surface from the magnetic attraction surface toward the base end, even when the kitchen tool is placed in a place made of a material that cannot be attracted by magnetic force, such as a kitchen counter or table, it is possible to place the kitchen tool with the distal function part facing upward and away from the table surface, etc. This prevents cooking ingredients, seasonings, etc. attached to the distal function part of the kitchen tool from adhering to and soiling the table, etc.

[0017] Therefore, various cooking operations can be carried out in a clean environment. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals denote like components or elements throughout the drawings.

[0020] The cooking utensil system of the present invention is shown in Figures 1 to 27. This cooking utensil system is equipped with a set of kitchen tools and utensils used for cooking, and includes multiple types of cooking utensils such as pots and frying pans, and multiple types of kitchen tools such as ladles, turners, and cooking spoons.

[0021] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the cooking implement system of the illustrated embodiment comprises seven cooking implements 1 to 7, four kitchen tools 10 to 13, a mitten 14, and a tool stand 15, totaling 13 cooking implements.

[0022] The 13 cookware items that make up the cookware system will be explained in detail below.

[0023] A. Cooking Utensils: It includes a shallow frying pan 1, a deep frying pan 2, a grill pan 3, a divided pan 4, a pot 5, handles 6 for the frying pan and pot, and a lid 7 for the frying pan and pot.

[0024] (1) Shallow frying pan 1: Frying pan 1 is a cooking tool mainly used for cooking methods such as frying and stir-frying, and can also be used for boiling and simmering dishes by adding water or soup and heating it.

[0025] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, shallow frying pan 1 is a circular, shallow, flat frying pan that is particularly suitable for simple cooking, as it makes it easy to turn and remove ingredients when grilling or stir-frying, and can be made from iron, stainless steel, or aluminum. The dimensions of shallow frying pan 1 shown in Figures 2 and 3 are an inner diameter of 240 mm, a height of 55 mm, and a plate thickness of 4 mm.

[0026] This shallow frying pan 1 has a detachable structure in which a handle 6 (FIGS. 12 and 13), which will be described later, is removably attached and fixed to the main body of the cooking utensil, and when in use, the handle 6 is attached and fixed to the outer periphery of the upper edge 1a. When not in use, the handle 6 is detached and separated from the shallow frying pan 1. Furthermore, the shallow frying pan 1 can be stored by hanging it from a hanging hook (not shown) installed on a kitchen wall or the like, using the support hole 20a of a hanging support part 20 integrally formed on the upper edge 1a.

[0027] (2) Deep frying pan 2: As shown in Figures 4 and 5, deep frying pan 2 is a round, deep, flat frying pan that can be used for grilling and stir-frying, just like shallow frying pan 1, but is also suitable for deep-frying, steaming, and stewing, and can be made of iron, stainless steel, or aluminum, just like shallow frying pan 1. The dimensions of deep frying pan 2 shown in Figures 4 and 5 are an inner diameter of 240 mm, a height of 80 mm, and a plate thickness of 4 mm.

[0028] Like the shallow frying pan 1, the deep frying pan 2 has a separate structure in which the handle 6 is removably attached and fixed to the main body of the cooking utensil, and when in use, the handle 6 is attached and fixed to the outer periphery of the upper edge 2a. When not in use, the handle 6 is detached and separated from the deep frying pan 2. Furthermore, the deep frying pan 2 can be stored by hanging it from a hanging hook (not shown) installed on a kitchen wall or the like using the support hole 20a of the hanging support part 20 integrally formed on the upper edge 2a.

[0029] (3) Grill Pan 3: As shown in Figures 6 and 7, grill pan 3 is a shallow, circular frying pan similar to shallow frying pan 1, but its bottom surface is made of an uneven surface 21 with a wave-shaped cross section, making it a frying pan that can be used for grilling. Just by using it in the same way as flat-bottomed frying pans 1 and 2, you can grill fish and meat, creating beautiful grill marks on the fish or meat, just like on a grill, and since excess oil from the meat or fish collects in the grooves of uneven surface 21, there is no need to absorb the oil with kitchen paper or the like during cooking.

[0030] The grill pan 3 can be made of iron, stainless steel, or aluminum, similar to the frying pans 1 and 2. The dimensions of the grill pan 3 shown in Figures 6 and 7 are an inner diameter of 240 mm, a height of 55 mm, and a plate thickness of 4 mm.

[0031] Like the frying pans 1 and 2, the grill pan 3 has a separate structure in which the handle 6 is removably attached and fixed to the main body of the cooking utensil, and when in use, the handle 6 is attached and fixed to the outer periphery of the upper edge 3a. When not in use, the handle 6 is detached and separated from the grill pan 3. Furthermore, the grill pan 3 can be stored by hanging it from a hanging hook (not shown) installed on a kitchen wall or the like using the support hole 20a of the hanging support part 20 integrally formed on the upper edge 3a.

[0032] (4) Divider Pan 4: As shown in Figures 8 and 9, divided pan 4 is a circular shallow frying pan similar to shallow frying pan 1, with a central divider 22 dividing the interior of the frying pan into two cooking sections 23, 24, allowing different ingredients to be cooked simultaneously. In the illustrated embodiment, one of the two cooking sections 23, 24, cooking section 23, has a frying pan structure with a flat bottom, similar to frying pans 1 and 2, and is suitable for normal frying cooking, while the other cooking section 24 has a grill pan structure with a corrugated bottom surface 21, similar to grill pan 3, and is suitable for grilling.

[0033] The constituent material of the partitioned pan 4 can be iron, stainless steel, or aluminum, similar to the frying pans 1 and 2. The dimensions of the partitioned pan 4 illustrated in Figures 8 and 9 are an inner diameter of 240 mm, a height of 55 mm, and a plate thickness of 4 mm.

[0034] Like the frying pans 1 and 2, the divided pan 4 has a separate structure in which the handle 6 is removably attached and fixed to the main body of the cooking utensil, and when in use, the handle 6 is attached and fixed to the outer periphery of the upper edge 4a. When not in use, the handle 6 is detached and separated from the divided pan 4. Furthermore, the divided pan 4 can be stored by hanging it from a hanging hook (not shown) installed on a kitchen wall or the like using the support hole 20a of the hanging support part 20 integrally formed on the upper edge 4a of the divided pan 4.

[0035] (5) Pot 5: As shown in Figures 10 and 11, pot 5 is a round, deep, flat cooking utensil suitable for cooking food by boiling, frying, simmering, steaming, etc., and can be made of iron, stainless steel, or aluminum, similar to a frying pan. The dimensions of pot 5 shown in Figures 10 and 11 are an inner diameter of 200 mm, a height of 100 mm, and a plate thickness of 4 mm.

[0036] Like frying pans 1-4, pot 5 is the main body of the cooking utensil and has a separate structure in which handle 6 is removably attached and fixed, and when in use, handle 6 is attached and fixed to the outer periphery of upper edge 5a. When not in use, handle 6 is detached and separated from pot 5. Furthermore, pot 5 can be stored by hanging it from a hanging hook (not shown) provided on a kitchen wall or the like using support hole 20a of hanging support part 20 integrally provided on upper edge 5a.

[0037] Although not specifically shown, it is also preferable that measuring scales are formed (engraved) on the inner surface of pot 5. Also, pouring spouts 25 are provided on both sides of upper edge 5a.

[0038] (6) Handle 6: As described above, handle 6 is shared when using frying pans 1 to 4 and pot 5 for cooking, and as shown in Figures 12 and 13, it has a shape and dimensions that allow it to be held and operated with one hand, and it has a structure that allows it to be attached and detached to frying pans 1 to 4 and pot 5.

[0039] As shown in Figure 13, the attachment / detachment structure of this handle 6 has a clip 30 at the tip that clamps and secures the upper edge portions 1a to 4a, 5a of frying pans 1 to 4 and pots 5, and is openable and closable in the front-to-back direction. A lock lever 31 that closes and locks the clip 30 is provided at the bottom of the handle 6, and an unlock button 32 that releases the closed, locked state of the clip 30 is provided at the top of the handle 6.

[0040] For example, as shown in Figure 12(b), when attaching and fixing the handle 6 to the shallow frying pan 1, the unlock button 32 is pressed to release the clip 30, and with the released clip 30 engaged with the inside of the upper edge 1a of the shallow frying pan 1, the lock lever 31 is gripped with the fingers, whereby the clip 30 is clamped and fixed to the upper edge 1a, and the handle 6 is attached and fixed to the shallow frying pan 1.

[0041] Conversely, to remove the handle 6 from the shallow frying pan 1, the unlock button 32 is pressed to release the clip 30, thereby unlocking the engagement and fixed state of the clip 30 with the upper edge 1a of the shallow frying pan 1 and allowing it to be easily removed.

[0042] Similarly, when the handle 6 is attached to or detached from other cooking implements such as the frying pans 2 to 4 or the pot 5, the same operation as above is carried out.

[0043] Furthermore, a placement support portion 33 is integrally provided on the back surface of the handle 6, specifically on the lower front end of the lock lever 31, for allowing the handle 6 to stand on its own on a flat surface in the kitchen or the like.

[0044] Furthermore, a hanging support part 34 is provided at the rear end of the handle 6, and the support hole 34a of this hanging support part 34 can be used to hang it from a hanging hook (not shown) provided on a kitchen wall or the like for storage.

[0045] An upper portion of the handle 6, specifically, an upper surface of the unlock button 32, is provided with an attraction fixing portion 41 that attracts and supports the magnet portion 40 of the kitchen tools 10 to 13, as will be described later.

[0046] (7) Lid 7: As shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the lid 7 is a disk-shaped cooking implement, and like the handle 6, is used in common with the frying pans 1, 2, 3, and 4 and the pot 5.

[0047] Specifically, the lid 7 has an outer diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the frying pans 1, 2, 3, 4 and the pot 5, and has an operating knob 43 provided in the center of the top surface, and the outer peripheral portion 43a of this knob 43 is made of a highly transparent plate material such as transparent glass that allows the inside of the covered cooking utensils 1 to 5 to be seen from the outside.

[0048] A part of the outer periphery of the lid 7 is hinged to the lid body 7 so as to be able to open and close up and down, forming an opening and closing part 44. Reference numeral 7a denotes a steam hole provided through the lid 7.

[0049] For example, when the lid 7 is placed on the pot 5 as shown in Figure 16, when the opening / closing part 44 is closed (Figure 16(a)), the pot 5 is completely covered, and when the opening / closing part 44 is opened upward (Figure 18(b)), part of the pot 5 can be opened without shifting the lid 7 sideways.Furthermore, by taking the kitchen tools 10 to 13 out from this open part during cooking, there is no need to remove the kitchen tools 10 to 13 from the pot 5 while they are still inside.

[0050] An upper portion of the lid 7, specifically, the flat upper surface of the knob 43, is provided with an attraction fixing portion 41 that attracts and supports the magnet portion 40 of the kitchen tools 10 to 13, as will be described later.

[0051] B. Kitchen Tools: Suitable examples of kitchen tools include a ladle 10, a turner 11, a cooking spoon 12, and tongs 13. Other auxiliary tools used in cooking include mitts 14.

[0052] (1) Ladle 10: The ladle 10 is a kitchen tool for scooping food, and is shaped as shown in Figure 17, with a hemispherical scooping part 10b integrally attached to the end of the handle part 10a, and is used to stir food or transfer it to dishes.

[0053] A hanging support part 45 is provided at the rear end of the handle part 10a of the ladle 10, and the support hole 45a of this hanging support part 45 can be used to hang it from a hanging hook (not shown) provided on a kitchen wall or the like for storage.

[0054] In addition to the hanging support part 45, the ladle 10 also includes the magnet part 40 for attracting and fixing as described above.

[0055] This magnet portion 40 cooperates with the adhesive fixing portion 41 provided on the detachable handle 6 and lid 7 of the cooking utensils 1 to 5 described above to effectively adsorb and support the ladle 10 to the cooking utensils 1 to 5 temporarily when cooking is temporarily interrupted during cooking, etc.

[0056] In the embodiment of ladle 10 shown in FIG. 17, a magnet section 40 having a magnet is configured inside handle section 10a in the area close to scoop section 10b, which is the leading-edge functional section.

[0057] Correspondingly, the suction fixing portions 41 provided on the cooking utensils 1 to 5 are specifically provided on the flat upper surface of the unlock button 32 of the handle 6 and the flat upper surface of the knob 42 of the lid 7, as described above.

[0058] The specific structure of the magnet section 40 is such that a permanent magnet 40a is embedded inside the magnet section 40, and the outer surface 40b (the lower surface in Figure 17(c)) of the magnet section 40 is a flat magnetic attraction surface 40b.

[0059] 17, the magnet portion 40 protrudes outward (downward in FIG. 17(c)) from the scooping portion 10b, and a step 40c is formed between the magnet portion 40 and the scooping portion 10b. As a result, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 18, when the scooping portion 10b of the ladle 10 is supported by suction on the flat, horizontal suction-fixing portion 41, the scooping portion 10b is configured to be spaced upward from the suction-fixing portion 41.

[0060] With this configuration, even if ingredients or seasonings are already attached to the ladle 10 during cooking, when the ladle 10 is attached to the cooking utensils 1 to 5, the ingredients or seasonings attached to the scooping portion 10b will not adhere to the adhesive fixing portion 41 of the cooking utensils 1 to 5 or its surroundings, preventing these areas from getting soiled.

[0061] Furthermore, the magnetic force of the magnet 40a of the magnet portion 40 is preferably relatively strong to ensure high stability when the handle 6 or lid 7 is attached to the adhesive fixing portion 41. Therefore, a relatively large force is required to release the adhesive fixing state between the magnetically adhesive surface 40b and the adhesive fixing portion 41. As described above, the magnet portion 40 is configured to protrude downward from the scoop portion 10b, and the step 40c allows the scoop portion 10b to be separated upward from the adhesive fixing portion 41. Here, when the base end of the handle portion 10a of the ladle 10 is lifted from the state indicated by the solid line A to the state indicated by the two-dot chain line B in FIG. 18, the corner of the step 40c serves as a fulcrum 40d of the lever. This allows the magnetically adhesive surface 40b to be easily separated from the adhesive fixing portion 41.

[0062] Furthermore, by lifting the grip portion 10a from the state shown by the two-dot chain line B, the ladle 10 can be completely released upward from the suction-fixing portion 41 as shown by the two-dot chain line C. At this time, in the state shown by the two-dot chain line B, the ladle 10 is adhered to the suction-fixing portion 41 by only a small area of ​​the corner 40d of the step 40c. Therefore, the ladle 10 can be easily lifted to the state shown by the two-dot chain line C, and the suction-fixing state can be easily released. This effect of being able to easily release the suction-fixing state is also exerted in the other kitchen tools described below.

[0063] As mentioned above, the attraction and fixation portion 41 to which the magnetic attraction surface 40b of the ladle 10 is attracted and fixed is actually provided on the upper surface of the unlock button 32 of the handle 6 and the upper surface of the knob 43 of the lid 7. Therefore, the state in which the ladle 10 is attracted and fixed to these attraction and fixation portions 41, 41 of the handle 6 and the lid 7 is as shown in Figures 19 and 20, respectively.

[0064] The inner surface of the scooping portion 10b of the ladle 10 is provided with measuring scales 46a, 46b, and 46c, such as 5 ml, 15 ml, and 30 ml portions.

[0065] (2) Turner 11: The turner 11 is a spatula-shaped kitchen tool shaped as shown in FIG. 21, and is a slotted turner with a spatula-shaped turning part 11b with a hole at the end of the grip part 11a, and is used to turn or mix ingredients.

[0066] The rear end of the handle 11a of the turner 11 is provided with a hanging support part 45, similar to the ladle 10, and the turner can be stored by hanging it from a hanging hook (not shown) provided on a kitchen wall or the like using the support hole 45a of this hanging support part 45.

[0067] Furthermore, like the ladle 10, the turner 11 includes the hanging support part 45 as well as the magnet part 40 for attracting and fixing as described above.

[0068] The specific structure and function of this magnet portion 40 are the same as those of the ladle 10, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0069] (3) 12 Cooking Spoons: The cooking spoon 12 is a kitchen tool shaped as shown in Figure 22, with a small, hemispherical scooping part 12b integrally formed at the end of the handle part 12a, and is used for stir-frying ingredients or for scooping and serving them.

[0070] The rear end of the handle 12a of the cooking spoon 12 is provided with a hanging support part 45, similar to the ladle 10, and the cooking spoon 12 can be stored by hanging it from a hanging hook (not shown) provided on a kitchen wall or the like using the support hole 45a of this hanging support part 45.

[0071] Furthermore, like the ladle 10, the cooking spoon 12 includes the hanging support part 45 as well as the magnet part 40 for attracting and fixing as described above.

[0072] The specific structure and function of this magnet portion 40 are the same as those of the ladle 10, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0073] Additionally, measuring marks 46a and 46b, such as 5 ml and 10 ml, are provided on the inner surface of the scooping portion 12b of the cooking spoon 12.

[0074] (4) Tongs 13: The tongs 13 are a kitchen tool shaped as shown in Fig. 23, and are chopstick tongs with forked gripping parts 13a, 13a and thin tip functional parts 13b, 13b, and are mainly used to hold food such as bread and pasta. They can also hold small items like chopsticks.

[0075] Similarly to the ladle 10, the tongs 13 are provided with the magnet portion 40 for attracting and fixing as described above.

[0076] The specific structure and function of this magnet portion 40 are the same as those of the ladle 10, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0077] (5) Mitten 14: Mitten 14 is a rectangular cloth or silicone accessory as shown in Figure 24, and is primarily used as a potholder to hold a hot pot or dish over a fire. Mitten 14 is preferably flat so that it can also be used as a trivet.

[0078] The mitten 14 also has a string 48 attached to the corner of the rectangular shape for suction fixation, and a magnet part 47 formed by a magnet built into the string 48. When the mitten 14 is not in use, it can be stored by being suction fixed in a hanging state to a suction fixing part 54 of the tool stand 15 described later.

[0079] C. Tool Stand 15 The tool stand 15 is a storage device for the kitchen tools 10 to 13 and the mitts 14, which is framed in an upright position as shown in FIGS.

[0080] The specific structure of this tool stand 15 is such that a pair of left and right standing plates 52, 52 are supported and fixed in a vertically upright position on a support base 51 placed on the kitchen floor, and a horizontal support plate 53 and an adsorption fixing portion 54 are fixed in a horizontal bridging manner to these two standing plates 52, 52 in a framework.

[0081] The flat front surface of the suction fixing portion 54 serves as an suction fixing surface 54a, and the magnet portions 40, 47 of the kitchen tools 10 to 13 and the mitten 14 are suction-fixed to this suction fixing surface 54a. In Fig. 27, the turner 11, cooking spoon 12, tongs 13 and mitten 14 are suction-fixed and stored in a hanging state when not in use.

[0082] During cooking, kitchen tools 10-13 and mitten 14 can be stored by being attached to tool stand 15 placed on the kitchen table (see Figure 27). Also, if cooking tools 1-7 are stored by being hung from a hanging hook (not shown) provided on the kitchen wall or the like, the necessary cooking tools 1-7, kitchen tools 10-13, and mitten 14 can be taken out and used for cooking as needed.

[0083] If you need to temporarily pause cooking, for example, to remove a kitchen tool you are using, such as a ladle 10, from the shallow frying pan 1 and place it somewhere, you can place it on the handle 6 of the shallow frying pan 1 as shown in Figure 19, or on the lid 7 of the shallow frying pan 1 as shown in Figure 20. In this case, the magnetic part 40 of the ladle 10 can be attached and fixed to the adhesive fixing part 41 of the handle 6 or lid 7, allowing the ladle 10 to be placed stably, making it easy to resume cooking after an interruption.

[0084] As described above in detail, the cooking implement system of this embodiment provides the following unique advantages.

[0085] (a) Kitchen tools 10-13 such as ladle 10, turner 11, cooking spoon 12, and tongs 13 are provided with magnetic parts 40 for adsorption and fixation, and cooking implements 1-5 such as pot 5 and frying pans 1-4 are provided with magnetic parts 41 for adsorbing and supporting the magnetic parts 40 of kitchen tools 10-13. Therefore, when cooking needs to be temporarily interrupted during cooking, kitchen tools 10-13 can be temporarily adsorbed and supported by cooking implements 1-5, and there is no need to place them in a location far from cooking implements 1-5. Therefore, cooking that has been interrupted can be immediately resumed, allowing for efficient cooking.

[0086] (b) The magnet portion 40 of the kitchen tools 10-13 is provided on the grip portion 10a of the kitchen tools 10-13, and is configured so that when the magnetic attraction surface 40b of the magnet portion 40 is attracted to and supported by the attracting and fixing portion 41 of the cooking utensil 1-5, the leading-edge functional portions 10b-13b of the kitchen tools 10-13 are separated from the attracting and fixing portion 41. Therefore, even if ingredients, seasonings, etc. are attached to the leading-edge functional portions 10b-13b during cooking, when the kitchen tools are attracted to and supported by the cooking utensil 1-5, the ingredients, seasonings, etc. can be prevented from adhering to the attracting and fixing portion 41 and its surroundings.

[0087] Similarly, even when the kitchen tools 10-13 are placed in a location other than the cooking tools 1-5, such as on a kitchen counter or table, the leading-edge functional parts 10b-13b can be held in a position spaced apart from the table surface, thereby preventing cooking ingredients, seasonings, etc., adhering to the kitchen tools 10-13 from adhering to the table or the like.

[0088] Therefore, various cooking operations can be carried out in a clean environment.

[0089] The above-described embodiment merely shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various design modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention.

[0090] For example, the specific configuration of the above-mentioned cooking utensil system is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a total of 13 cooking utensils are provided, including seven cooking implements 1 to 7, four kitchen tools 10 to 13, a mitten 14, and a tool stand 15. However, the number of these cooking utensils can be increased or decreased as appropriate depending on the purpose, and other specific structures can also be adopted for these cooking utensils 1 to 7 and 10 to 15 as long as they have similar functions.
