Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a cooking scum remover for removing scum that floats on the top surface of broth during cooking such as boiled food.

[Conventional technology]

In dishes such as boiled dishes and soups in which ingredients are simmered in stock or water, scum floats on the top of the broth, which significantly impairs the taste, texture, and appearance of the food.

Therefore, conventionally, the scum from boiled foods is scooped out with a ladle, wire mesh, or a ladle with a droplet-shaped rim and a soup cutter.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] However, when scooping the scum with a ladle or a ladle with a soup drainer, the broth is also scooped out along with the scum, so the process of scooping, draining, and discarding the scum is repeated many times. It is necessary to repeat the process repeatedly, and the work is complicated, and even if you drain the liquid, it is impossible to remove only the scum, and the broth must be thrown away, so you have to prepare the stock and water to account for the loss. In addition, when straining through a wire mesh, there is no need to drain the liquid and only the scum can be filtered out, but if the wire mesh is coarse, small scum cannot be filtered out, and if the wire mesh is fine, it may become clogged. Not only did it have to be washed frequently because it was easy to clean, but it was also difficult to remove the clogged scum, making it unsanitary.

Therefore, the present invention provides a hygienic disposable cooking scum remover that can strain out even the smallest scum without leaking, does not waste the broth by straining only the scum, and does not require cleaning. The purpose is to

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the cooking scum remover of the present invention is made of a nonwoven fabric made of synthetic resin and heat-shrinkable in biaxial directions, and includes a cup-shaped scum remover main body, and the scum remover body of the present invention. It is characterized by comprising a flange formed on the upper edge of the handle main body and a cylindrical handle insertion part protruding from the flange. A handle main body, a tubular flange portion formed on the upper edge of the scum remover main body, and a handle insertion portion having a pair of insertion ports formed by cutting out a part of the flange portion. It is a feature.

[Effect]

The cup-shaped scum remover body filters out only the scum floating on the top surface of the broth, and the flange part serves to reinforce the upper edge of the scum remover body. Further, the cylindrical handle insertion part protruding from the flange part is used as a handle by inserting the tips of disposable chopsticks or chopsticks into the handle insertion part. Furthermore, when the flange part is formed into a tubular shape, the strength is further improved, and when a part of the tubular flange part is cut out to form a handle insertion part having a pair of insertion openings, wire etc. can be easily removed. It can be used as an instant handle by molding it into a Y-shape and inserting both free ends into the respective insertion holes.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. Note that the same elements are given the same reference numerals in the description.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, in which a cooking scum remover 1 is made of polyethylene terephthalate fiber as a raw material and thermoformed from a biaxially heat-shrinkable nonwoven fabric. It comprises a cup-shaped scum remover main body 2 and a flange portion 4 formed on its upper edge 3, and the flange portion 4 further includes:
A handle insertion portion 5 which is wound downward and formed into a cylindrical shape is provided to protrude approximately horizontally.

To use the cooking scum remover 1 having such a configuration, insert the tip of a hand-held chopstick or chopstick into the handle insertion part 5 to use it as an improvised handle, and use the scum remover main body 2 to scoop out the scum along with the broth. At this time, the scum remover main body 2 filters the broth to remove fine scum, and since only the scum is filtered out, the necessary broth can be returned to the pot. In addition, the scum remover body 2
Because it has a cup-like shape, it has a wider filtration area and better filtration efficiency than a flat one, and it can also reliably contain a large amount of filtered scum.
Not only does it require fewer replacements, but it also prevents the scum that was previously strained out from re-dissolving into the broth when scooping the broth. On the other hand, the flange portion 4 reinforces the upper edge 3 of the scum remover main body 2 to maintain its shape when supported by the handle. After use, you can simply remove the disposable chopsticks and throw them away.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a cooking scum remover 1 is made by thermoforming the same nonwoven fabric as in the previous embodiment, and includes a substantially hemispherical cup-shaped scum remover main body 2; It comprises a tubular flange portion 4 formed on its upper edge, and a handle insertion portion 5 having a pair of insertion ports 6, 6 formed by cutting out a part of the flange portion 4.

To use the cooking scum remover 1 having such a configuration, form a wire or the like on hand into a roughly Y shape, and insert both free ends 7, 7 into the insertion ports 6, 6 to use it as an improvised handle. , Scoop out the scum along with the broth using the scum remover body 2. The cooking scum remover 1 in this embodiment has the same effects as those in the above embodiment,
Furthermore, since the flange portion 4 is formed into a tubular shape,
The reinforcing force is increased, and since the handle insertion part 5 is constructed by simply cutting out a part of the flange part, manufacturing costs can be reduced.

Although the above examples all use nonwoven fabrics made from polyethylene terephthalate, they are not limited to this.They are suitable for thermoforming, can filter out fine scum, have good filtration efficiency, and have appropriate strength. It is sufficient that the mesh can be easily adjusted to an appropriate coarseness, and a nonwoven fabric made of synthetic resin and heat-shrinkable in biaxial directions may be used.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, this invention uses synthetic resin as a raw material,
In addition, since it is made of non-woven fabric that has heat shrinkability in biaxial directions, it is suitable for thermoforming and can be easily molded to an appropriate coarseness, so that the scum remover body can be strained without leaking even the smallest scum. Not only that, but only the scum can be filtered out, so there is no need to waste the broth. In addition, since the scum remover body is formed into a cup shape, it has a wider filtration area and better filtration efficiency than if it were flat, and since it can reliably contain a large amount of the scum that has been filtered out, it can be replaced less frequently. Not only is this possible, but it also prevents the scum that was previously strained out from dissolving into the broth when scooping the broth. In addition, the cooking scum remover according to the present invention is inexpensive, making it suitable for disposable use, and does not require complicated cleaning, and is hygienic because it is sufficient to use a new one one after another. In addition, the present invention has a structure in which hand-held disposable chopsticks or the like are used as handles, which further reduces manufacturing costs and has also succeeded in downsizing. If the handle insertion portion is configured to consist of a pair of insertion ports, the reduction in manufacturing costs will be more significant.
