Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a cooking utensil used primarily as a cutting board. [Background technology]

[0002] As is well known, cutting boards are made of resin or wood and are used as a base for cutting and cooking food. When cutting and cooking food that is wet, the adhering water can sometimes get in the way. To address this issue, Patent Document 1 (JP-A-2003-102666) shows a cutting board / draining shelf with many small holes.

[0003] Furthermore, Patent Documents 2 and 3 disclose a cooking utensil that can be used as a cutting board, in which drainage holes are provided in offset positions in a thin flexible resin sheet. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2000-41869 A. [Patent Document 2] JP 2012-40096 A. [Patent Document 3] Registered Utility Model No. 3214501. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The cutting board disclosed in Patent Document 1 is designed to be used over a sink, so it needs to be of a certain size and is not suitable for outdoor use such as camping. The cooking utensils described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 are lightweight and portable, but because they are in the form of a thin sheet, they must be placed on a suitable flat surface such as a table when used, and there is a risk that moisture from vegetables and other food being cut or cooked will flow out of the utensil and soil the surrounding area.

[0006] Therefore, this invention proposes a new cooking utensil that has a draining function, is compact, and is easy to use outdoors. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The cooking utensil according to claim 1 of the present invention is composed of a cutting board made of thin resin and a flat container large enough to store the cutting board, the cutting board having a number of drainage holes, and the flat container having a support protrusion that supports the cutting board above the bottom surface, and an edge that does not protrude above the top surface of the cutting board when stored.

[0008] When the cutting board is stored in the flat container, the upper surface of the cutting board is at the uppermost position, so it can be used for cutting and cooking without any hindrance, and since it is equipped with drainage holes, excess water adhering to the food to be cooked flows out from the drainage holes into the flat container.

[0009] In addition, the cooking utensil according to claim 2 of the present invention is particularly configured so that the cutting board is sized to fit within the edge of the flat container, and has a notched outer periphery that is an appropriate distance from the edge when stored in the flat container, making it easy to remove the cutting board from the flat container.

[0010] Furthermore, the cooking implement according to claim 3 of the present invention is a flat container body provided with legs, allowing for stable cutting and cooking.

[0011] Furthermore, in the cooking implement according to claim 4 of the present invention, the cutting board body is circular or oval with a thickness of 3 to 4 mm and a diameter or oval diameter of 18 to 23 cm, and the flat container body is 12 to 15 mm high, making the whole compact and easy to carry. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The cooking utensil of this invention is composed of a cutting board body with drainage holes as described above and a flat container body on which the cutting board is placed in a floating state and fitted and stored.It can be used as a draining board or a cutting board, and when cutting or cooking, the two can be combined and used while draining water.Excess water collects in the flat container body so it does not dirty the surrounding area, making it convenient for outdoor use such as camping. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] 1 is an overall perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 2] FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. [Figure 4] Partial cross-sectional view of the same. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The cooking utensil shown in the embodiment is composed of a cutting board body 1 made of resin and a flat container body 2 made of resin.

[0015] The cutting board 1 is made of resin and has a circular or elliptical body 11 with a thickness T1 of 3 to 4 mm and a diameter (φ) or oval diameter of 18 to 23 cm, with numerous drainage holes 12 provided in it. In particular, a cutout 13 is formed on part of the outer periphery, positioned an appropriate distance inward from the edge 21 when the flat container 2, which will be described later, is stored.

[0016] The flat container body 2 has an edge 21 into which the cutting board body 1 is fitted and stored, and a support protrusion 23 is provided on the bottom surface 22 to support the cutting board body 1 above the bottom surface 22, and the relationship between the support protrusion 23 and the edge 21 is such that when the cutting board body 1 is placed on the support protrusion 23, the upper edge of the edge 21 does not protrude above the top surface of the cutting board body 1.

[0017] The flat container body 2 also has legs 24 that protrude downward from the bottom surface 22, and in the embodiment of the device, the lower edge of the edge portion 21 is formed to protrude downward from the bottom surface 22, and the overall height T2 of the flat container body 2 is 12 to 15 mm.

[0018] The cutting board body 1 can be used alone or fitted and stored in the flat container body 2 as a cutting board for cutting and cooking, and since it is equipped with a draining function in particular, it can not only be used as a draining shelf as it is, but also excess water flows out and collects in the flat container body 2 during cutting and cooking, allowing cooking to be done without soiling the surrounding area.
