The basket 45 is attached to 19 and the basket 45 is attached to the cooking tank 17. Then, similarly, the electric motor is driven to rotate the rotating body 27,
The water is generated by crushing the fruit while flowing it or flowing juice or water. The water flow is generated so as to rotate around the space 50 around the basket 45 along the inner peripheral surface of the cooking tank 17.

Then, due to the generation of the water flow, the object to be cooked, i.e., the ice and the instant tea pack for draining, which have been put into the cage 45, move within the cage 45, but move with the water flow, that is, the water flow. They do not move together along the inner peripheral surface of the cooking tub 17 at the same speed as the speed. Therefore, the water flow is efficiently generated without the water flow being hindered by the basket body 45 and the objects stored in the basket body 45, and the objects in the basket body 45 do not move together with the water flow. The contact efficiency between the object in the container 45 and the object moving in the container 4 is improved, the juice is cooled in a short time, or the tea component is extracted into the water in a short time to obtain instant tea. Cooking time can be shortened and cooking efficiency can be improved.

Is positioned substantially at the center and is detachably provided, so that the rotation of the rotating body 27 does not restrict the movement of the object to be cooked, for example, does not restrict the water flow of juice or water, and the basket body is moved with the movement of the object to be cooked. Since the food in the container 45 does not move along the inner peripheral surface of the cooking tub 17, the food in the basket 45, such as ice or an instant tea pack for watering, and the food such as juice or water are stored. The cooking efficiency can be shortened efficiently, for example, the contact efficiency with the cooked food is improved, and the time until the juice becomes cold or the time until the tea component is extracted into water to obtain instant tea is shortened. Further, since the movement of the object to be cooked is not restricted, no load is applied to the rotation of the rotating body 27, so that cooking can be performed efficiently.

The rotating bodies 27 of the slits 46, 46 of the basket body 45
Since the inclined surfaces 48, 48 inclined inwardly are provided on the edge on the side opposite to the rotation direction of the container, the inner peripheral surface of the container 4 such as juice or water in the container 4 generated by the rotation of the rotating body 27 is provided. The food to be moved along is guided by the inclined surfaces 48, 48 and efficiently flows into the basket 45, and the contact efficiency with the food in the basket 45 can be easily improved by a simple configuration, and time can be improved. Can be shortened and cooking efficiency can be improved.

In the above-described embodiment, particularly, the preparation of juice and the extraction of tea have been described, but the invention can be used for any other cooking.

Although the basket 45 has been described as being detachably attached to the lid 19, any of the cages 45 may be disposed at substantially the center of the container 4, such as by being hooked on the edge of the input port 15 of the cooking tank 17. A mounting configuration may be used. In addition, according to the structure attached to the lid 19, the cage 45 can be easily attached and detached with a simple structure without increasing the size.
