A bent recess 6 formed on the back surface side of 5 and the locking step portion 2 form a water passageway 7 that connects the upper surface of the locking collar 3 and the side of the storage portion of the pan body 1, The present invention relates to a steam tray for a steam cooking pot, characterized in that the pot lid 8 is placed and locked on the bent protrusion 5.

[0013]

[Function] Steam drops that fall on the inner surface of the pan lid 8,
In some cases, the cooking juice or the like is distributed well because the bent protrusion 5 is interposed between the mounting peripheral edge of the pan lid 8 and the locking flange 3 of the tray body 4. The upper surface of the locking collar portion 3 is connected to the upper surface of the locking collar portion 3 by connecting the locking flange portion 3 at the bottom of the gap or the gap and further by forming the bent concave portion 6 and the locking step portion 2 formed on the back surface side of the bent protrusion portion 5. The water passageway 7 that communicates with the storage portion side of the pan body 1 is connected and returned to the storage portion of the pan body 1.

Therefore, the pot body 1 will not stay and spill on the periphery of the opening.

In addition, if it is configured as in the present embodiment described later, not all steam droplets occupy the water passageway 7, but a part of it is the outer peripheral edge 3'of the locking collar 3.
And the inner peripheral surface of the pan body 1 are misaligned with the inner peripheral surface of the pan body 1 and flow into the storage portion for reduction.
