Description

The invention relates to the technology of lunch first courses, in particular, filling soups, at public catering facilities for fast and mass service to visitors.

A known method for the production of instant canned product "Mushroom soup with chicken" [RF Patent No. 2366308, 2007], the essence of which is the preparation of meat and vegetable recipe components, including chopping chicken, mushrooms, onions and carrots, peeling, shredding and blanching potatoes, soaking and chopping dried mushrooms, fried onions and carrots. These components are mixed with potato flakes, salt and water. The resulting mixture is packaged in bags of a multilayer polymer metallized film at a certain ratio of components, sealed and sterilized. The invention allows for the long-term storage of the canned product, but due to the need to sterilize the semi-finished product thus obtained in order to avoid spoilage, the cost of the finished product increases.

There is a method of cooking vegetable soups based on fried flour dressing [Almashi E., Er deli L., Sharoy T. Quick freezing of food: trans. with wenger. - M .: Light and food industry, 1981. - 408 s], which consist of the following components: soup base (flour dressing), vegetables (one or more components) and seasoning (for example, quick-frozen dumplings). The soup base is added to the rest of the ingredients. White flour dressing is made from pork fat and wheat flour. Fried onions, chopped parsley and table paprika are added to it. Then the cooled dressing is heated to 80-90 ° C and cooled with water. The dressing enters the mixing machine, where the remaining ingredients (salt, flavoring, garlic, milk powder) are added to the mass having a temperature of 70 ° C and stirred for 10 minutes. A little sugar is added to the product cooled to 30 ° C and stirring is continued for another 5 minutes. After that, the product is packaged in bags of artificial material, subjected to rapid freezing in tunnel freezers at a temperature of minus 35 ° C and stored until use at temperatures from minus 20 to minus 22 ° C. The method allows you to get the finished first dish with a long shelf life, but the composition of the soup base is constant or differs only by the addition of some flavorings (black pepper, sour cream, etc.) and is typical for Hungarian cuisine.

Closest to the proposed method is a method of preparing first courses [application for invention of the Russian Federation No. 2005105169, 2005], which includes cooking and filtering the broth, sorting, calibration, washing, slicing vegetables, sautéing the latter. Further processing of vegetables is carried out in several stages: first, they are treated with hot steam, then transferred to a perforated container, which is dipped in a boiling broth (liquid fraction) and cooked to 80% readiness, after which the perforated container with the thick fraction in it is removed from the broth, allow to drain and placed in a sealed container, which is sent to a low-temperature chamber, where it is cooled to a temperature of 15-20 ° C, while the broth (liquid fraction) is cooled in a bath with circulating cold water to a temperature of 25-30 ° C. Next, carry out a portioned laying of separately cooled thick and liquid fractions in sealed portioned dishes of various capacities, which are subjected to "shock freezing" for 10-20 minutes to 0 ° C, and then for 20-40 minutes to minus 18 ° C, then within 1-1.5 hours to minus 36 ° C when applying cold air from bottom to top in the refrigerator. The frozen food is heated in the microwave for 6-8 minutes, while the thick fraction, being in the liquid, comes to readiness.

The disadvantages of this method are the high energy intensity of the process due to the use of multi-stage processing of the components, the duration of the preparation of the dish, the increase in the mass of the semi-finished product subjected to freezing, due to the need to freeze the liquid fraction.

Technical task: to create a method for preparing first courses, which consists in obtaining a semi-finished first course meal with a long shelf life and a high degree of readiness, the quick completion of which to the required consumer properties ensures the preparation of a finished first course with high taste.

The technical result - the method allows to reduce energy costs during storage of semi-finished first courses and to reduce production areas due to the absence of the need to freeze the liquid fraction, and also provides high taste qualities of the dish and preserves its nutritional value over the shelf life due to the redistribution of moisture in the preliminary heat treat components by steaming until cooked.

It is achieved by the fact that the company carries out a preliminary assessment of the assortment and number of servings of filling soups sold per month, and calculates the required amount of raw materials for their preparation in accordance with the recipe of a particular dish. Then, preliminary processing of the feedstock is carried out, namely, washing, calibrating, peeling, slicing vegetables, their passage with the addition of fats, tomato puree, if provided for in the recipe for this dish, and / or washing cereals and legumes. The components of the dish prepared in this way are individually treated with hot steam until ready, which significantly reduces the energy consumption for the preliminary preparation of the components and reduces the loss of dry matter in the broth, and also saves energy and floor space for the storage of semi-finished products in the absence of the need to freeze the liquid fraction, in comparison with treatment with hot steam and cooking up to 80% readiness in boiling broth. Next, each component is placed in a separate sealed container and sent to a low-temperature chamber, where it is cooled to a temperature of 15-20 ° C, and then frozen at a temperature of minus 18 ° C for 6-9 hours depending on the volume of the container and the method of cutting the component, which it is also less energy-intensive and simpler from the point of view of the hardware design of the process compared to sequentially conducted processes of "shock freezing" for 10-20 minutes to 0 ° C, and then for 20-40 minutes to minus 18 ° C, then for 1 -1.5 hours to minus 36 ° C when serving cold air from the bottom up in the refrigerator. When freezing a pre-steamed dish component until ready, it is not advisable to use expensive freezing methods (for example, “shock freezing”), since the main redistribution of moisture occurred during heat treatment, which helps to preserve the product structure during storage. Next, we weigh the amount of each component necessary to obtain one portion of the finished dish and carry out a portioned packing in the hermetic packaging of the prepared sets of frozen components with the addition of salt, spices, herbs in accordance with the recipe, hermetic packaging and evacuation, storage of the obtained semi-finished products at a temperature of minus 18 ° C no more than 30 days. For the implementation of the semi-finished product is unloaded into a tableware for serving to the visitor, filled with hot water or bone / meat-bone / fish broth or mushroom broth in accordance with the recipe and they are heated in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, and the finished first high quality.

The invention is illustrated by the following examples of the preparation of filling soups at a catering company. The quality assessment of the finished dish was carried out according to a five-point system for each of the indicators - appearance, color, smell, taste, consistency, based on the ratings for each indicator, the dish was estimated in points as the arithmetic average with an accuracy of one decimal place.

Example 1. According to preliminary estimates, at this enterprise, the number of servings of “Borsch with potatoes” dressing soup sold per month was established, and the required amount of raw materials for their preparation was prepared in accordance with the recipe [Collection of recipes for dishes and culinary products: For catering / Aut . comp .: A.I. Zdobnov, V.A. Tsyganenko, M.I. Peresichny. - M .: Gamma Press 2000, 2002. - 656 s]. The raw materials are pre-processed, namely, they are washed, calibrated, peeled beets, potatoes, carrots and onions. Carrots and onions are chopped and sautéed with the addition of cooking oil or animal fat from melted food and tomato purees. Potatoes are cut into cubes, beets are cut into strips or slices and individually treated with hot steam until cooked. Each of the components (potatoes, a mixture of sauteed vegetables, beets) is placed in a separate sealed container and sent to a low-temperature chamber, where it is cooled to a temperature of 15-20 ° C, and then frozen at a temperature of minus 18 ° C for 6-9 hours, depending on the volume of the container and the method of cutting the component. Next, we weigh the amount of each component necessary to obtain one portion of the finished dish and place a portion in the hermetic packaging of the prepared sets of frozen components with the addition of salt, spices, herbs (parsley), hermetic packaging and evacuation, storage of the obtained semi-finished products at a temperature of minus 18 ° C more than 30 days. To implement the semi-finished product is unloaded into a tableware for serving to a visitor, poured with hot water or broth, and heated in a microwave for 3-4 minutes. The average quality rating of the “Borsch with potatoes” filling soup prepared in this way, assigned by the marriage committee, is 4.6 points.

Example 2. According to preliminary estimates, at this enterprise, the number of servings of filling soup “Potato Soup with Pasta” sold per month was established, and the necessary amount of raw materials for their preparation was calculated in accordance with the recipe. Vegetables are washed, calibrated, peeled, cut in accordance with the type of pasta used: potatoes - with cubes or cubes, carrots - with cubes, straws or cubes, chopped onion or finely chopped. Carrots and onions passer with the addition of fats. Potatoes and pasta (pasta, noodles, figurines) are individually treated with hot steam until cooked. Each of the components (potatoes, a mixture of sauteed vegetables, pasta) is placed in a separate sealed container and sent to a low-temperature chamber, where it is cooled to a temperature of 15-20 ° C, and then frozen at a temperature of minus 18 ° C for 6-9 hours in depending on the volume of the container and the method of cutting the component. Further processing is carried out in the same way as in example 1. The average quality rating of the filling soup “Potato soup with pasta” prepared in this way, assigned by the marriage committee, is 4.3 points.

Example 3. According to preliminary estimates, the number of servings of the “Rassolnik Leningradsky” refueling soup sold per month was established at this enterprise, and the necessary amount of raw materials for their preparation was calculated in accordance with the recipe. Preliminary preparation of components is carried out. Pickled cucumbers are cut into strips or rhombuses, in cucumbers with rough skin and large seeds, the skin is pre-cleaned and the seeds removed. Prepared cucumbers steamed until soft. Vegetables are washed, calibrated, cleaned. Potatoes are cut into cubes or slices and steamed until cooked. Carrots and onions are chopped and sautéed with the addition of fats and tomato puree. Grains (pearl barley, wheat, rice or oat) are sorted, washed, changing water several times, and steamed until cooked. Each of the components (potatoes, a mixture of sautéed vegetables, cucumbers, cereals) is placed in a separate sealed container and sent to a low-temperature chamber, where it is cooled to a temperature of 15-20 ° C, and then frozen at a temperature of minus 18 ° C for 6-9 hours depending on the volume of the container and the method of cutting the component. Further processing is carried out in the same way as in example 1. The average quality rating of the “Rassolnik Leningradsky” filling soup prepared in this way, assigned by the marriage committee, is 4.5 points.

Thus, the proposed method provides the rapid production of dishes from frozen semi-finished products, the high quality of which is largely due to the mode of heat treatment of the components (steaming until cooked), which ensures better preservation of nutritional value and structure during storage due to the redistribution of moisture and reducing the time to bring the semi-finished product until ready. The absence of a liquid fraction in the semi-finished first courses allows you to reduce production space for their storage with low energy consumption. The method of preparation of the first dishes allows you to organize a productive technology that provides high efficiency in terms of increasing labor productivity. The process of bringing the semi-finished product to readiness, as a result of which the first dish with high taste qualities is obtained, is short in time. With this method of preparing first courses at a catering facility, there is no difficulty in increasing or decreasing the number of consumers, because unused dishes in the form of frozen semi-finished products can be stored for a long time (up to 30 days), in addition, it is easy to create the necessary supply of dishes for a large number of consumers. When using this method at the points of delivery of the catering network, it is possible to use the labor of less qualified personnel.
