Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention relates to a scum scooper that can easily and efficiently remove scum generated during hot pot cooking.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY When cooking in a pot, scum always occurs and makes the food taste unpleasant, so it is necessary to remove it each time. Conventionally, the scum that floats on the surface of the broth is scooped out with a ladle or spoon.

Problems that the invention aims to solve However, with the method of scooping with a ladle or spoon as described above, it was necessary to repeat the process many times to scoop out the scum that spread on the surface of the broth.
In addition, not only sludge but also a large amount of broth gets into the ladle or spoon, and care must be taken when carrying the broth to the container to avoid spilling the scum that floats on the surface of the broth. Therefore, it takes a lot of effort to remove the scum, and there is an inconvenience in that it is not possible to enjoy the delicious dishes slowly. The purpose of this invention is to provide a sludge scooper that can remove sludge easily and efficiently by eliminating such conventional inconveniences.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, this invention includes a water-permeable wall portion at least on the side wall portion, and
It is characterized by consisting of a cup-shaped scoop body with a spherical concave bottom back surface, and a filter paper installed inside the scoop body so as to cover the water-permeable wall.

Function When the filter paper is placed inside the scooper body and the upper edge of the scooper is submerged to a depth that is slightly lower than the surface layer of the broth, the heated broth rises and is directed in its direction by the spherical surface on the back of the bottom. After the heat is exchanged, convection is generated that rises again from the periphery of the pot and gathers in the center along the surface layer. Therefore, if the scooper is placed in the center of the pot, the convection will allow the dirt on the surface to efficiently enter the scooper. Then, when the whole scooper is lifted up, water such as broth will pass through the filter paper and be discharged, and the scum that has adhered to the surface of the filter paper can be removed.

Embodiment In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a scooper main body of the present invention. No. 3 has a spherical depression on its back surface as shown in FIG. A handle 5 is integrally formed to protrude upward from one location on the outer periphery of the mouth edge 4 at the upper end of the side wall 2. 6 is fitted in and attached to the cup-shaped scooper main body 1;
The filter paper is formed into a cup shape smaller than the scooper main body 1, and the side wall 2 formed by the net is covered from the inside by the side surface 7 of the filter paper 6. . Reference numeral 8 denotes a cup-shaped filter paper holder whose side wall 9 and bottom wall 10 are both formed of water-permeable mesh, and this filter paper holder 8 is attached to the inside of the filter paper 6 installed in the scooper main body 1. The filter paper 6 is fitted from above to hold the filter paper 6 so that it does not lift up.

FIG. 2 shows a cross section of the filter paper 6 and the filter paper retainer 8 in an installed state. As shown in this figure, the bottom surfaces of the filter paper 6 and the filter paper holder 8 are formed in a concave shape along the spherical bottom 3 of the scooper main body 1.
The water-permeable side wall portion 2 of the scooper main body 1 and the water-permeable side wall portion 9 of the filter paper holder 8 may be formed of, for example, a perforated plate such as punched metal, as long as it is water permeable. Further, the filter paper 6 may be a bottomless cylindrical member, or may be a belt-like member bent.

Figure 3 shows the scooper 11 of this invention having the above-mentioned configuration installed in the pot 12. When installed to a depth that is slightly below the surface layer, the boiling liquid in the center that is heated and rises is diverted toward the outer circumference by the spherical surface on the back of the bottom 2 of the scooper body 1 and flows to the periphery. , the convection current rises further and moves toward the center along the surface layer of the broth. Due to this convection toward the center, the scum floating on the surface layer flows into the center scooper 11 and is efficiently collected into the scooper 11. In this way, when the whole body is lifted up with the surface layer inside the scooper 11, the broth inside the scooper 11 passes through the filter paper 6 from the side wall 9 of the filter paper holder 8, and is removed from the scooper main body. It is discharged to the outside from the water-permeable side wall 2 of 1, leaving behind a scum. When the surface of the filter paper 6 is filled with scum, the filter paper holder 8 can be pulled out, the filter paper 6 can be taken out, and the filter paper 6 can be thrown away. In addition, scooper 11
Since the bottom 3 of the scooper main body 1 has a spherical shape with an upwardly concave center as described above, the boiling liquid inside the scooper body 1 also has the advantage of being facilitated to be discharged from the side wall 2 side.

In the above, the size of the scooper 11 is the same as that of the pot 12.
Although it depends on the size of the pot, a pot with a diameter of 10 cm and a height of 3 to 4 cm is suitable for the size of a typical pot. In addition, when we made a prototype similar to the example and actually used it, we found that the scum on the surface layer of the broth flowed into the scooper 11 very efficiently, and the scum could be scooped out very easily in a short time. was completed.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to this invention, when the scooper is installed in the center of the pot, the flow of the broth is changed by the action of the spherical part on the back of the bottom, and the convection causes the surface layer of the broth to open up. The scum flows efficiently toward the central scooper, and therefore has the effect of being able to collect scum more efficiently in a shorter time than when scooping with a scoop or spoon as in the past. Moreover, when you lift the scooper from the pot, only the broth will be drained outside and only the scum will be collected.
Handling is extremely easy, as there is no need to carry the broth carefully to a container to prevent it from spilling.
