The net member 4 has a mesh structure, and the upper surface thereof is provided so as to be located at the open portion 21 of the heating furnace 20. The net member 4 is in the form of a container that conforms to the shape of the upper part of the heating furnace 20, and a heated object such as a food material to be cooked by the cooking cooker 1A is placed on the bottom surface. The bottom surface of the net member 4 is located below the open portion 21 of the heating furnace 20. The object to be heated placed on the bottom surface of the net member 4 can be turned over or moved through the opening portion 21 by using, for example, a chopstick, tongs, or the like.

The steam generating unit 30 is a device that generates superheated steam to be supplied to the heating furnace 20, and is provided on the outer surface of each of the four side walls 23 constituting the heating furnace 20.

Four water supply units 50 are provided corresponding to the steam generation unit 30. The water supply unit 50 includes a water supply tube 51 connected to the steam generation unit 30, and supplies water to the steam generation unit 30. The water supply unit 50 includes a water supply pump (not shown), a water supply tank (not shown), and the like.

The superheated steam generated by the four steam generating units 30 is supplied to the inside of the heating furnace 20 via the steam outlet 22 provided on the inner surface of the side wall 23 of the heating furnace 20. The superheated steam supplied from the steam outlet 22 fills the space below the open portion 21 of the heating furnace 20. At this time, the object to be heated placed on the net member 4 is cooked by superheated steam filled in the space below the open portion 21.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the steam generating section 30 in the cooking cooker 1A according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 4, the switching unit 35 is schematically shown.

As shown in FIG. 4, the steam generating unit 30 includes a steam generating heater 31 (first heating heater), a superheated steam generating heater 32 (second heating heater), a steam generating heater 31, and superheating. It includes a switching unit 35 that independently switches on / off of the steam generating heater 32. The steam generating unit 30 is configured as a unit in which the steam generating heater 31 and the superheated steam generating heater 32 are incorporated in the housing 33. A partition wall 33C is provided in the housing 33. The partition 33C divides the internal space of the housing 33 into a steam generation space 33A in which the steam generation heater 31 is housed and a superheated steam generation space 33B in which the superheated steam generation heater 32 is housed. ..

The partition 33C has a base material made of heat-resistant stainless steel such as SUS304 (18 chrome stainless steel) and a coating film covering the base material. This film has heat resistance and is formed by, for example, black coating.

The superheated steam generation space 33B is provided in the steam generation space 33A. The steam generation space 33A and the superheated steam generation space 33B communicate with each other so that steam can enter and exit each other. Further, the superheated steam generation space 33B is provided with a steam discharge pipe 34 communicating with the space in the heating furnace 20. The steam discharge pipe 34 is provided so as to penetrate the steam outlet 22 of the heating furnace 20.

The housing 33 has a base material cast by a die casting method for a metal such as aluminum, and a coating film covering the base material. This film has water repellency and prevents oxides such as rust from precipitating from the surface of the base material. This coating is formed, for example, by painting.

Water from the water supply unit 50 is dropped into the housing 33 of the steam generation unit 30. The steam generating heater 31 heats the housing 33 and evaporates the water dropped on the housing 33. As a result, saturated steam at about 100 ° C. is generated in the steam generation space 33A.

Here, the steam generating heater 31 is cast in the housing 33. Therefore, the contact area between the steam generating heater 31 and the housing 33 can be increased. As a result, the heat of the steam generating heater 31 can be efficiently transferred to the housing 33, and the evaporation efficiency is improved.

The saturated steam generated in the steam generation space 33A flows into the superheated steam generation space 33B. Then, in the superheated steam generation space 33B, it is heated by the superheated steam generation heater 32 to become superheated steam of 100 ° C. or higher (for example, about 300 ° C.). Here, the superheated steam means steam heated to a superheated state of 100 ° C. or higher. The superheated steam generated in the superheated steam generation space 33B passes through the steam discharge pipe 34 and is supplied to the heating furnace 20.

As a result, the object to be heated placed on the net member 4 is cooked by superheated steam of 100 ° C. or higher (for example, about 300 ° C.) blown out from the steam outlet 22 of the heating furnace 20. At this time, superheated steam is supplied to the surface of the object to be heated and adheres to the surface of the object to be heated, condensing on the surface of the object to be heated and giving a large amount of latent heat of condensation to the object to be heated. Therefore, heat can be efficiently transferred to the object to be heated.

Further, in the cooking device 1A, since the cooking is performed by using superheated steam, it is possible to prevent the moisture from evaporating from the object to be heated and drying. Therefore, the object to be heated can be cooked with a moist finish that retains an appropriate amount of water.

Further, according to the cooking cooker 1A, the bottom surface of the net member 4 on which the object to be heated is placed is located below the open portion 21 of the heating furnace 20. Then, the object to be heated placed on the net member 4 can be turned over or moved through the opening portion 21 by using, for example, a chopstick, tongs, or the like. Therefore, the object to be heated by the superheated steam can be easily operated according to the heating situation.

Therefore, according to the configuration of the cooking cooker 1A, it is possible to cook using superheated steam while easily manipulating the object to be heated during cooking. The cooker 1A is a completely new cooker that has the advantages of both a grilled cooker and an oven cooker using superheated steam.

Further, in the cooking cooker 1A, cooking using only superheated steam is possible. On the other hand, an oven-type cooker using superheated steam cooks by radiant heat of a heating chamber heated by a heating heater in addition to superheated steam.

Unlike the oven-type cooking cooker using superheated steam, the heating cooker 1A has a configuration in which superheated steam is supplied in a heating furnace 20 (non-sealed space) having an open portion 21 communicating with the outside. Moreover, the cooking cooker 1A has a configuration in which the object to be heated is cooked only by superheated steam. The steam generating unit 30 continues to generate superheated steam in order to heat the object to be heated placed on the net member 4, but the heating status of the object to be heated is sensed by using a sensor or the like, and the superheated steam is generated. May be controlled.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the steam generating unit 30 includes a switching unit 35 that independently switches on / off the steam generating heater 31 and the superheated steam generating heater 32. Therefore, in the cooking cooker 1A, both cooking using superheated steam and steaming cooking using saturated steam can be performed.

When the object to be heated is steamed, the switching unit 35 controls to turn on the steam generating heater 31 while turning off the superheated steam generating heater 32. As a result, the steam generating unit 30 supplies the saturated steam generated by the steam generating heater 31 to the inside of the heating furnace 20. Then, in the heating furnace 20, the space below the open portion 21 is filled with saturated steam, and the object to be heated placed on the net member 4 can be steamed and cooked.

When the object to be heated is cooked with superheated steam, the switching unit 35 controls to turn on both the steam generating heater 31 and the superheated steam generating heater 32. As a result, the steam generating unit 30 supplies the superheated steam generated by the superheated steam generating heater 32 to the inside of the heating furnace 20. Then, in the heating furnace 20, the space below the open portion 21 is filled with superheated steam, and the heated object placed on the net member 4 can be cooked by superheated steam.

As described above, in the cooking cooker 1A, healthy cooking can be performed by using superheated steam or saturated steam. In the cooking cooker 1A, superheated steam or saturated steam is supplied to the surface of the object to be heated placed on the net member 4. Then, the superheated steam or saturated steam adheres to the surface of the object to be heated as condensed water. As a result, the salt or oil in the object to be heated is dropped together with the condensed water adhering to the surface of the object to be heated. As a result, the salt content or oil content in the object to be heated can be reduced.

Further, the steam generating unit 30 continues to generate superheated steam or saturated steam in order to heat the object to be heated placed on the net member 4, so that the steam generating unit 30 around the object to be heated placed on the net member 4 continues to be generated. The space is filled with superheated steam or saturated steam and becomes anoxic. This enables cooking with suppressed oxidation of the object to be heated.

Further, in the cooking cooker 1A according to the present embodiment, a steam outlet 22 for blowing out superheated steam or saturated steam is provided only on the inner surface of the side wall 23 of the heating furnace 20. A heat source such as a steam outlet 22 or a heater is not provided on the bottom surface 24 located directly below the object to be heated placed on the net member 4. Thereby, even if the fat or juice from the object to be heated is dropped during the cooking process, it is possible to prevent the fat or juice from being heated and emitting smoke.

Further, the cooking cooker 1A may include a lid member that covers the open portion 21 of the heating furnace 20. Then, depending on the type of the object to be heated, cooking may be performed using the lid member. For example, when cooking foods that are difficult for heat to pass through, in order to efficiently heat the object to be heated, the open portion 21 of the heating furnace 20 is covered with a lid member for cooking.

The member on which the object to be heated is placed is not limited to the mesh member 4 having a mesh structure, and the object to be heated can be supported at the open portion 21 of the heating furnace 20 or at a position below the open portion 21. If it is a member, it is not particularly limited. For example, as a support member for supporting the object to be heated, a tray or the like can be mentioned.

The net member 4 supports the object to be heated so as to come into contact with the superheated steam filled in the heating furnace 20 by the mesh structure. Therefore, the object to be heated can be cooked evenly.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 (a), the inner surface of the side wall 23 of the heating furnace 20 is inclined with respect to the bottom surface 24. More specifically, the side wall 23 of the heating furnace 20 is configured so that the distance between the inner surfaces of the side walls 23 facing each other becomes narrower toward the bottom surface 24.

With such a configuration, superheated steam can be blown diagonally upward from the steam outlet 22. Therefore, the object to be heated placed on the net member 4 can be easily cooked from below.

In the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 to 3A, the cooking cooker 1A was provided with the steam outlet 22 only on the inner surface of the side wall 23 of the heating furnace 20. However, the steam outlet 22 may be arranged in the heating furnace 20 so as to avoid fats and oils or juice dripping from the object to be heated during the cooking process.

FIG. 3B is a plan view schematically showing an example of the arrangement of the steam outlet 22, which is different from the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 to 3A. As shown in FIG. 3B, the steam outlet 22 may be provided on the bottom surface 24 of the heating furnace 20. The steam outlet 22 is preferably provided on the bottom surface 24 on the outer peripheral side of the region overlapping the bottom surface 41 of the net member 4.

The fat or juice produced from the object to be heated during the cooking process may be dropped on the bottom surface 24 of the heating furnace 20 to a region overlapping the bottom surface 41 of the net member 4. According to the configuration shown in FIG. 3B, the steam outlet 22 is provided on the bottom surface 24 on the outer peripheral side of the region overlapping the bottom surface 41 of the net member 4, so that oil or juice can be discharged. It is possible to prevent it from being heated and emitting smoke.

The bottom surface 24 of the heating furnace 20 may be provided with a saucer 25 that receives fats and oils or juice from the object to be heated during the cooking process. The saucer 25 is provided in a portion other than the steam outlet 22 forming portion in the heating furnace 20. Further, the saucer 25 is removable from the heating furnace 20.
