Definitions
- the present invention relates to a single-use device for presentation and cooking including corn kernels for making popcorn.
- the present invention is described with reference to a well-known product popcorn but other applications can be envisaged including aperitifs such as appetizers of any shape, ball, fries, made from cornmeal processed into semolina and compressed and prepared in a suitable way.
- corn kernels must be placed in a container in the presence of a fatty substance.
- the corn kernels remain pressed against each other. The radiation was then concentrated and the efficiency was increased.
- corn kernels themselves are no different whether they are used with thermal heating or with microwave heating. There is no need for special pre-treatment. It is the water contained in the grains that turns into steam causes the explosion of the grain envelope and the formation of popcorn.
- the bag is made of material adapted to let the microwave and without degrading under their effects and this pocket also serves as a container.
- the complex comprises at least one microwave reactive layer that transmits a portion of the microwaves, absorbs another portion to transform it into infrared radiation and on the other hand reflects the infrared thus produced to restore sufficient heating conditions to cause the bursting of the grains.
- the bag after cooking remains very hot because of the very small thickness of the packaging and the heat generated.
- Crousti Pack a product of this type is known under the name Crousti Pack.
- the initial packaging must necessarily be folded to reduce its volume.
- the grains may move in a container too large before cooking, which is undesirable and moreover, it is not possible to transport packages to 9/10 th empty. They must be folded.
- a foldable box for cooking popcorn is described in the document US 5468939 .
- This parallelepipedic box includes sidewalls with self-mounting flaps. In the flat position, the back and top faces are pressed against the front and bottom faces. To form the box, simply push the opposite edges towards each other. The corn kernels are packaged in a pouch that can be introduced into the box.
- the present invention provides a novel device that allows to dispose and preserve maize grains, to achieve the bursting of these grains in a microwave oven and to present the popcorn obtained.
- the subject of the present invention is a device for presenting and cooking corn kernels for producing popcorn according to claim 1.
- the device 10 comprises a container 12 with a base 14, a compensation zone 16, deployment means 18 and means 20 for opening / closing this container.
- the assembly is preferably made from cardboard material, especially a cardboard made of virgin wood fiber to meet food quality.
- the base is rectangular or square and rigid to a height of about 1 to 2 centimeters to fix ideas.
- This base is intended to receive the raw corn kernels.
- the volume of grains determines the amount of popcorn that will be obtained. Nevertheless, it is understood that a reduced thickness is necessary because the penetration power of microwaves in food remains low, of the order of 2 cm. It is thus necessary to limit to this low height the base to obtain the greatest effectiveness.
- the compensation area is folded on the Figure 1A , with nevertheless a beginning of unfolding so as to be able to distinguish the different parts.
- the height of the set appears to be substantially that of the height of the base.
- This compensation zone comprises folds 22 and 24 respectively formed on the facing faces said retractable faces 26 and 28 stiffening faces.
- the retractable faces 26 each comprise a fold 30, obtained by creasing the cardboard material, this fold being substantially in the middle of each of the faces and parallel to the base.
- the stiffening faces 28 each comprise several folds, a first fold 32 in the continuity of the folds 30, arranged in the median plane.
- each fold 32 is also obtained by creasing but has in the central portion a cutout 34 for constituting a diamond-shaped window, variable opening during the deployment maneuvers, as will be indicated later.
- the cutout 34 is linear and optionally includes complements to facilitate this opening.
- the cutout 34 may comprise at each end, a cutout 35 extending substantially perpendicularly to the cutout 34, on either side of said cutout 34 to prevent tearing of the box in the extension of the cut. cutting 34.
- the deployment means 18 comprise two tongues 38, one per retractable face 26. As shown on the figure 2 each tongue is advantageously T-shaped. A slot 40 is formed in each fold 30, of a length allowing the passage of the longitudinal leg 42 of the tee and prohibiting the passage of the transverse branch 44. In this embodiment shown, the assembly is simple and purely mechanical.
- the transverse branch is optionally glued directly on this retractable face 26 but outside.
- the means 20 for opening / closing this container comprise two flaps 46, 48 foldable and each provided with an ear 50, 52. Each ear is able to come to immobilize the opposite flap to ensure a locking of the flaps in the closed position. container.
- the bottom of the container is made in known manner in a box with four shutters 54-60 alternately superimposed.
- a tray 62 shown on the figure 2 .
- This tray is also made of energy absorbing material carried by microwaves and capable of generating infrared radiation capable of triggering Maillard reactions when it comes to grains with sugars. In the case of salted or buttered corn kernels, no transformation takes place but the energy absorption improves the burst.
- the consumer withdraws from its packaging the device which is in folded form with corn kernels immobilized in the base, in the tray 62, if there is one.
- the base allows storage of grains and immobilize them in a small space.
- the presence of the base also makes it possible to obtain a complete folding of the compensation zone 16 in contrast to the devices of the prior art.
- the window 34 closes to become a slot and these stiffening faces become substantially planar.
- the cutout 34 forming a window promotes the deployment of the compensation zone 16 and reduces the deterioration of the edges connecting the faces 26 and 28. This cutout 34 is even necessary when the faces 26 and 28 are trapezoidal to obtain a shape box inverted truncated pyramidal
- the microwave oven is put into operation for the recommended time, which causes the bursting of corn kernels and the transformation of sugars.
- the device is then filled with popcorn ready for tasting.
- the volume of the container is established according to the volume of grains initially contained in the base.
- the consumer can use the tabs 38 to manipulate the device without getting burned.
- the consumer opens at its convenience the two flaps 46, 48 by spreading the two ears 50, 52 to draw in the interior volume.
- the container is stable, rigid and allows not only the preliminary storage in the form of reduced volume, the cooking but also the presentation, without the need to tear or cut a pocket with the hazards that it represents to reverse all content.
- the slots in the different faces allow evacuation of water vapor and avoids the concentration of this residual heat.
- the device according to the invention is perfectly rigid in itself.
- the folding, filling and packaging of the device according to the present invention can be easily automated.
- Cardboard was mentioned because it is a particularly suitable material but one could use a synthetic material, one of the conditions being to have a certain rigidity.
- the shape presented is of constant size over the height, but the container may be of inverted truncated pyramidal shape.
- flaps 46 and 48 can be made detachable, using a pre-cut to ensure a fully open opening.
- the tray is obtained from a blank 64 in the form of a quadrilateral, preferably consisting of a multi-layer based paper or cardboard coated with at least one metallized sheet 66, shown hatched , capable of absorbing the energy carried by the microwaves.
- the blank 64 comprises four fold lines 68, each parallel to an edge of the blank 64, defining flaps 70 which can form the side walls of the tray.
- the fold lines 68 define in the center the bottom of the tray whose dimensions are adapted to the base 14.
- a fold line 72 is provided connecting each corner of the blank and the corresponding point of intersection of the fold lines 68 to allow folding of the side walls of the tray.
- the zones 74 of extra thickness, produced by the folding of the side walls at each angle, are folded against the outer faces of said side walls, as illustrated in detail on the figure 4 , so as to form a gutter flowing towards the interior of the tray 62 to limit fat leakage outside said tray 62.
- the metallized sheet 66 is disposed between two fold lines 68 parallel, to not have at the corners, metallized areas in contact and limit the risk of overheating.
- the flaps 70 forming the side walls of the tray each comprise an extension 76 capable of covering part or all of the inner walls of the box 10 to reduce the risk of contact of the fat with the walls of said box 10.
- the tray comprises a lid member for isolating the food products, either in the form of a film, or in the form of a cardboard cover sheet 78 or semi-rigid material, connected to the side walls of the tray 62 using a weld or glue, preferably hot-melt, as illustrated in FIGS. FIGS. 6A, 6B, 7A and 7B .
- the cover sheet 78 has a cross shape and includes recesses 80 so as not to cover the corner areas of the blank 64 and avoid the extra thicknesses in this fold zone.
- the sheet 78 comprises first fold lines 82 parallel to the fold lines 68, slightly outwardly offset to facilitate the shaping of the tray 62.
- the covering sheet 78 advantageously comprises second fold lines making it possible to obtain a volume that can contain the food products, as illustrated in FIG. Figure 6B .
- the second fold lines make it possible to obtain a truncated pyramid shape and comprise fold lines delimiting a square 84 and diagonal folding lines 86 connecting each vertex of said square to the angle of the corresponding recess 80.
- the covering sheet 78 comprises third fold lines 88, not parallel to the first fold lines 82, forming with one of the sides of the square 84 a truncated triangle. These fold lines 88 make it possible, when tending to bring the opposite sides of the tray 62 together, together to form a filler neck as shown in FIG. Figure 7B .
- the embodiment of the Figures 6A and 6B may include extensions 76 as illustrated on the figure 5 and / or a metallized sheet 66 as illustrated on the figure 3 .
- FIG. 8A and 8B there is shown another mode of packaging of food products.
- This mode of packaging comprises a bag 90 resting on a sheet 92, of material identical to that of the blank 64, covering the bottom of the box.
- the bag 90 includes weld lines, an upwardly facing 94, hot melt at the baking temperature of the popcorn so as to desolder during cooking and to press against the interior walls of the can to reduce the risks. contacting the fat with the walls of said box 10, as illustrated in FIG. Figure 8B .
