Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a lid for a cooker that can simultaneously bake and smoke food by heating a pot.

(Prior art) A process in which food such as meat or fish is placed on a wire mesh stretched apart from the bottom of the pot, covered with a dome-shaped lid equipped with an exhaust pipe, and heated over a gas stove or the like to cook the food. There is a known cooking method in which the fat and water dripping from the food onto the bottom of the pot is roasted at the bottom of the pot, and the smoke and steam emitted from this are convected inside the lid, and the food is cooked by acting on the bottom and top of the food. ing. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 indicates a burner, a griller support 2 is provided so as to surround the flame generated from the burner 1, and a flat-bottomed pan-shaped griller 3 is placed on this griller support 2. The griller 3 has an upwardly opening concave groove 3a formed on its outer periphery, and a large number of holes 3b formed at equal intervals to allow hot air from the flames to enter the top of the inner circumferential side of the concave groove 3a. A net 4 made of metal wire is stretched inside the griller 3 at an appropriate distance from the bottom plate 3c. The lid 5 has a dome portion 5a and a chimney portion 5b integrally formed. In the dome portion 5a, the underlined line is the griller concave groove 3a.
griller 3.
It is designed to store food by covering it with a crown. Therefore, in this cooking method, the heat emitted from the burner 1 heats the bottom of the pot, and the radiant heat is used to grill the food placed on the wire mesh, and the fat and water dripping from the food are burnt at the bottom of the pot and become smoke and steam. Of course, this smoke and water vapor act on the bottom surface of the food, but the heat that enters through the holes 3b at the periphery of the griller 3 is combined with the convection along the inner surface of the dome-shaped lid 5, and the food is heated. It also acts on the top surface and has the functions of baking, steaming, and smoking. The chimney portion 5b is erected from the top of the dome portion 5a, and has the function of guiding and discharging smoke within the dome portion 5a upward when necessary. A U-shaped handle 6 is attached to the chimney portion 5b in the vertical direction, and the central portion 6a is made of wood or plastic to prevent burns. A hook 7 is fixed to the center of the opening of the chimney portion 5b, and a cover 8 is also attached.
It has a notch through which the hook 7 is inserted so that the opening can be opened and closed, and is pivotally attached to the opening. The wire 8 is stretched around a pulley 9, one end of which is locked to a hook, and the other end to a weight 10. The pulley 9 is rotatably supported on the ceiling or wall, and the weight 10 is approximately equal to the weight of the lid 5 to reduce the load applied to the handle 6 when lifting the lid 5.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Since the weight of the lid 5 is balanced with the weight 10 via the wire 8, lifting the lid 5 by grasping the handle 6 is extremely light and convenient without requiring any effort. However, the handle 6 gets heated and becomes hot.
Furthermore, since the hook 7 is fixed at the center of the lid 5 and suspended by being hooked to the wire 8, the lid 5 may rotate somewhat around the wire 8 when the hand is removed from the handle 6. Moreover, when a cook unconsciously raises his hand to grasp the handle 6, his hand may directly touch the chimney portion 5b without touching the handle 6, and he may suffer burns. Furthermore, even if the lid 5 does not rotate, there is always a risk that the handle will come into contact with the chimney portion 5b due to an unconscious action by the cook, since the handle is only in one place.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional cooker lid. It is characterized by being equipped with a ring-shaped handle.

(Function) The annular handle is arranged so as to surround the chimney at an appropriate distance from the chimney, so that even if the lid rotates a little, the cook's hand will trace a slightly different trajectory each time he cooks. In both cases, the handle is configured so that the hand can definitely touch the handle.

(Example) FIG. 1 shows an example of the present invention. The cooker lid 50 (hereinafter abbreviated as lid) includes a dome portion 51, a chimney portion 52, a cover 53, a handle 54, and an arm 5.
It consists of 5 etc. The dome portion 51 is loosely engaged with a concave groove on the outer periphery of the griller (not shown) and is formed into a substantially hemispherical shape, the chimney portion 52 is a slightly tapered cylindrical body, the base is formed in a flange shape, and the dome portion 51 is riveted. 56, a cover 53 is pivotally attached to the tip opening, and a hook 57 extending upward from the center is provided with a notch 58 in the cover 53 so that opening and closing of the cover is not obstructed. is the same as the conventional product. Now, the feature of the present invention lies in the shape of the handle 54 and its relative position with the chimney part 52. That is, the handle 54 is formed into an annular body, and the distance h from the outer circumferential surface of the chimney part 52 is such that the distance h from the outer peripheral surface of the chimney part 52 increases due to long-term cooking.
It has been determined through experiments that even if the handle 6 becomes hot, the handle 6 is kept at a temperature that does not cause burns. Arm 5
5 is for connecting the handle 6 to the chimney portion 52, and is preferably made of metal with low thermal conductivity. It is preferable that the handle 6 is also made of wood or plastic in order to prevent temperature rise.

(Effects of the invention) The cooker lid of the present invention has the annular handle spaced apart from the chimney as described above, so the handle can be safely grasped without the risk of getting burned, and the lid can be held by the weight. It is possible to move up and down with one finger. Moreover, the cook can do this unconsciously and smoothly without having to move the lid up and down while being aware of the position of the handle, which greatly improves work efficiency. Furthermore, problems such as tilting of the lid due to deviation in the weight distribution of the lid, which occurs with conventional one-place handles, can be eliminated.
