Description

  The present invention relates to a frying pan for cooking dishes such as fried foods.

  Conventionally, frying pans have been used as one of cooking utensils for heating and cooking various ingredients such as rice, meat, and vegetables in homes and restaurants. Conventional frying pans are generally circular.

  When cooking a dish made of fine ingredients such as fried rice with a conventional round frying pan and using chopsticks and transferring it to a plate, hold the frying pan with one hand, tilt the frying pan and place it It is easy to put directly on the plate. At that time, if it is a round frying pan, the dish at the end may spill without moving to the plate.

  Here, there is a frying pan as disclosed in Patent Document 1 as a frying pan for preventing the spilled food as described above. This frying pan has a flange projecting from the edge of the side wall of the frying pan, and the flange is composed of a flange having a flat surface and a flange having no flat surface, and the flange having no flat surface has an outer peripheral edge. Is formed in a part of a circular or elliptical flange, and by reducing the width from the edge of the side wall toward the end of the upper surface of the flange, an arc having no flat surface at the end of the upper surface of the flange By forming a region, a food discharge port is formed in the flange.

Japanese Patent No. 4979764

  However, the frying pan as described above has a complicated shape. In addition, since the food discharge outlet is arc-shaped, if you hold the frying pan with your hand, tilt the frying pan and try to move it directly to the plate, you may still spill the food from the flat flange. There was also a tendency to feel uneasy about whether it could be transferred without spilling when pouring out the food. Furthermore, there is a problem that the appearance is not excellent.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, and it is possible to hold a frying pan handle by hand, tilt the frying pan, and when cooking is spilled when trying to transfer directly to a placed plate. An object of the present invention is to provide a frying pan that can be prevented and has a simple shape and excellent appearance.

  The frying pan of the present invention is a frying pan having a frying pan body having a bottom surface portion and a side wall extending from the bottom surface portion, and a handle that is provided outside the side wall and can be gripped by a user with one hand. The peripheral shape of the upper end portion is a polygon that is a pentagon or more.

  According to the frying pan of the present invention, the peripheral shape of the upper end portion of the side wall of the frying pan is a polygon of five or more corners, so that the holding of the frying pan is held with one hand, the frying pan is tilted, and the cooked food is placed on the placed plate or the like. Due to the corner formed at a position where the food is easily guided to a plate or the like when moved directly (around 60 to 120 ° with respect to the angular position of the handle when the center of the frying pan body is at the center). It is possible to prevent the food from being spilled when the food is induced. Furthermore, by making the peripheral shape of the side wall end portion of the frying pan a pentagon or more polygon, it is possible to provide a frying pan that is simple in shape and unique in appearance.

It is a schematic perspective view of the frying pan which concerns on an Example. It is a figure explaining the shape of the frying pan of an Example. It is a figure explaining the usage method of the frying pan of an Example.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples.
(Example)
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a frying pan according to the present embodiment.
In FIG. 1, the frying pan 1 has a frying pan body 2 and a handle 3. The frying pan main body has a circular flat bottom surface portion 22 and side wall portions 23 that extend from the outer periphery of the bottom surface and increase in diameter concentrically as going upward.
The peripheral shape of the upper end portion 23A of the side wall portion 23 is a regular hexagon in which the corner portion is positioned at an angular position of approximately 90 ° with respect to the angular position of the handle when the center of the frying pan body is the center. It has become.

  FIG. 2 is a view for explaining the shape of the frying pan of this embodiment in which the side surface portion 23 extends from the bottom surface portion 22 and forms a peripheral shape made of a regular hexagon of the upper end portion 23A. The upper end portion 23A has a regular hexagonal shape in which a circular shape 23B (indicated by a dotted line in the figure) of the upper end portion of the side wall when extending from the circular bottom surface portion 22 while maintaining a circular shape is an inscribed circle. ing.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a method of using the frying pan of the present embodiment.
When holding the handle 3 of the frying pan 1 with one hand (not shown) and tilting the frying pan, the food in the frying pan is guided to the corner of the frying pan in the tilted direction and transferred to the dish. If necessary, the frying pan may be tilted while assisting with chopsticks or frying with the other hand (not shown).

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the cooked food is guided to the corner of the frying pan only by tilting the frying pan with one hand, and the cooked food can be transferred to the plate without spilling. Furthermore, since the frying pan of the present embodiment is a regular hexagon, it is possible to provide a frying pan that is simple in shape and unique in appearance.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, the flat bottom surface portion of the frying pan only needs to function as a portion directly exposed to fire from a heating device such as a gas stove, and may not be flat but may have a spherical shape like a wok. Furthermore, the side wall 23 is not limited to a concentrically large diameter, and may extend with substantially the same diameter. Further, from the viewpoint of facilitating processing, it is also conceivable that the bottom surface portion has a polygon similar to the upper end portion of the side wall. However, it is preferable that the bottom surface is circular from the viewpoint of performing heating evenly, that is, maintaining cooking performance equivalent to that of a conventional general frying pan and smoothly guiding the food.

Moreover, it is preferable that a corner | angular part shall be an octagon or less from a viewpoint of guide | inducing a foodstuff effectively. The corner portion is preferably located in the range of 60 ° to 120 ° on the left or right or both sides with respect to the angular position of the handle when the center of the frying pan body is the center, and is approximately 90 °. Is most preferable.
Furthermore, a flange may be provided at the upper end.
