Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To heat an egg by circulation and convection of heated water and to prevent rapture of the egg when the egg is boiled by storing a shield basket which is made of metal so as to shield a high frequency and is capable of containing at least an egg within a container into which water is filled. SOLUTION: When boiled eggs are made by using a microwave oven, an arbitrary number of eggs are stored in a basket main body part C10 from which a basket cover C20 of a shield basket C1 is removed. In this case sufficient space is provided around each egg and convection of water P can be sufficiently performed around each egg. Subsequently, after the basket main body C10 is covered with the basket cover part C20, water P is filled up to about eight-tenths within a container body B10 in which the basket main body part C10 is put and the container body B10 is sealed by a container cover part B20. When a container B 1 set in this way is put in a microwave over and an operation is started, the eggs are heated by circulation and convection of heated water, and shortening of boiling time and power saving can be realized.

1. It has a shield basket C1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the container B1 is made of a high frequency (microwave) such as polyethylene or polystyrene.
It is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape by a translucent plastic capable of transmitting light. Further, the container B1 is formed by being divided into a container body portion B10 and a container lid portion B20 which can be opened and closed with one touch.

As shown in FIG. 1, the shield basket C1 is formed by braiding a metal wire such as a steel wire or a copper wire into a mesh shape, and is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape and sufficiently large for an egg D1 to be charged. Therefore, when the egg D1 is stored, convection of water around the egg is sufficiently enabled. Further, it is formed by being divided into a cage main body C10 and a basket lid C20 which can be opened and closed with one touch.

As shown in FIG. 2, a mesh-like mesh is used as a convection port (opening) C1a, and one side t of the mesh is formed to have a length of 3 to 5 mm. Generally, a width of about 12 mm is required for the microwave M to pass through the metal hole. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the microwave M does not pass through the shield basket C1, and the microwave M is suitably shielded.

The convection port C1a utilizes a mesh-like mesh, and is provided innumerably. for that reason,
Since the water P can sufficiently pass through the convection port C1a, the water P inside and outside the shield basket C1 can sufficiently circulate and convection. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a suspending string C used for taking out the shield basket C1 from the container B1 is provided at the upper end of the basket lid C20.
30 are connected.

Next, the use state of the boiled egg manufacturing apparatus A for a microwave oven thus formed will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3, an arbitrary number of the eggs D1 are put into the basket main body C10 into the basket main body C10 from which the basket lid C20 of the shield basket C1 is removed. In this case, a sufficient space is provided around each of the eggs D1, and the eggs P are enclosed in the basket main body C10 in a state where the convection of the water P is sufficiently possible around each of the eggs D1. That is, each of the eggs D1 is not suddenly enveloped by the shield basket C1 or the like, but is stored with a sufficient convection space for the water P around. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the basket lid portion C20 is inserted into the basket main body portion C10 to set the shield basket C1 that shields the entire circumference of each of the eggs D1.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5, the water P is filled in the container body B10 until about the eighth minute of the container body B10, and the egg D1 is stored in the water P. 6, the container body B10 is sealed with the container cover B20 as shown in FIG. 6, and the boiled egg manufacturing apparatus for a microwave oven as shown in FIG. A is used.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. The boiled egg manufacturing apparatus A for a microwave oven in the use state described above.

Since the eggs D1 can be convected around the water P by heating as described above, the eggs D1 flow into the shield basket C1 from the convection port C1a as shown in FIG. The water P can sufficiently circulate and convection, and the eggs D1 are efficiently heated, so that it is possible to reduce the uneven heating of the boiled eggs, shorten the boiled time, and save power.

As described above, since the microwave M cannot enter the shield basket C1 as shown in FIG. 7, first, the water M existing between the shield basket C1 and the container body B10 is first used. P is heated. Then, the heated water P enters the shield basket C1 from the convection port C1a by convection as shown in FIG.
Heat the egg D1. Therefore, the egg D1 is in the water P
The egg D1 is not indirectly irradiated with the microwave M, and the egg D1 does not explode internally.

As described above, the container B1 is

The heating time by the above-mentioned microwave oven Q1 is adjusted, and it is possible to select and manufacture the “ripened egg”, “semi-ripened egg” or “hot spring egg”. For example, when the number of the eggs D1 to be manufactured is one, the output 5
When using the above-mentioned microwave oven Q1 of about 00 W, when producing “ripened eggs”, “normal output” is 13
It can be manufactured by heating it for about a minute.
It can be manufactured by heating for about 0 minutes, and in the case of manufacturing “hot spring eggs”, “weak output (thaw)” is 28 to 3
It can be produced by heating for about 0 minutes. Further, when a plurality of the eggs D1 are manufactured, the heating time is further increased according to the number of the eggs D1, and the eggs D1 are manufactured.

Note that the “ripe egg” is a state in which both the yolk and the white of the egg D1 are sufficiently hardened, and the “semi-ripened egg” is a egg in which both the yolk and the white of the egg D1 are sufficiently hardened. The “hot spring egg” is a state in which the yolk of the egg D1 is substantially solidified and the white body is not yet solidified. Each of them has a unique taste, is selected by preference, and is manufactured by the method described above.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to only the configuration of the present embodiment, and various embodiments are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in the present embodiment, the egg D1 is simply thrown into the shield cage C1 so that the convection of the water P around the egg D1 is possible. However, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to adopt a configuration using an egg-raising tool R1 having the following.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the eggs D1 are disposed in the egg support holes R10 of the egg-raising implement R1, and the eggs D1 are erected in the shield basket. C
Put in 1. By performing the heating in this manner, the position of the yolk of the egg D1 after boiled can be fixed to a substantially central portion of the egg D1. Although the container B1 in this embodiment is formed of plastic, the container B1 includes glass and ceramics as long as the container can be filled with water and can transmit high frequency. Further, the shield basket C1 in the present embodiment uses a metal wire woven in a mesh shape, but any shield basket that can block microwaves and can pass the water is included.
