Abstract

The packed, frozen instant meal has multiple food components (3), which are visibly arranged on a base for the consumer, and are covered by a thermoplastic foil (2). The outer circumference of the thermoplastic foil is connected at the edge of the base for even heating of the meal in the microwave. The thermoplastic foil with its outer circumference is connected by adhesion at the adhesive free edge of the crystalline polyethylene terephthalate plastic plate (1).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein verpacktes, tiefgefrorenes Fertiggericht nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. Es sind unterschiedliche Verpackungstechniken bekannt, die ein Lebensmittelkomponenten umfassendes Produkt, z.B. Meeresfrüchte, mit einer Folie dicht umschließen. Nachteilig ist hierbei jedoch, dass, aufgrund der Zusammensetzung der Verpackung bzw. des Vorhandenseins des Siegellacks, es nicht möglich ist das Produkt in der Verpackung im Backofen zuzubereiten. Es sind auch Lösungen bekannt, wo das Produkt auf dem Tray von allen Seiten in einer Folie dicht umschlossen wird. Der Nachteil dabei ist die umständliche Handhabung bei der Entfernung der Folie wie auch die Kosten derartiger Verpackungen und auch die hohe Verbrauchsmenge.The invention relates to a packaged, frozen ready meal according to the preamble of claim 1. Various packaging techniques are known, which include a product comprising food components, e.g. Seafood, wrap tightly with a foil. The disadvantage here, however, that, due to the composition of the packaging or the presence of the sealing wax, it is not possible to prepare the product in the package in the oven. There are also known solutions where the product is tightly enclosed on the tray from all sides in a foil. The disadvantage is the cumbersome handling in the removal of the film as well as the cost of such packaging and the high consumption.

Es sind auch Verpackungen für die Mikrowelle bekannt, wo bestimmte leicht zu erwärmende Bestandteile durch entsprechend angebrachte Metallisierung in der Verpackung, vor der Mikrowelleneinwirkung geschützt werden. Nachteilig sind dabei jedoch die Kosten und begrenzte Flexibilität des Systems.There are also known packages for the microwave, where certain easily heated components are protected by appropriately applied metallization in the package, from the microwave exposure. The disadvantage here, however, the cost and limited flexibility of the system.

Es gibt tiefgefrorene Fertiggerichte, verpackt in Kunststoffbeuteln oder Trays, allerdings mit einer Luftschicht über dem Produkt. Diese Luftschicht ermöglicht die Sublimation von Wasser (Austrocknung, Gefrierbrand) an der Oberfläche des Produktes, was zu einer unansehnlichen Optik und deutlich verkürzten Haltbarkeit führt.There are frozen ready meals packed in plastic bags or trays but with an air layer over the product. This layer of air allows the sublimation of water (dehydration, freezer burn) on the surface of the product, resulting in unsightly appearance and significantly reduced durability.

Bekannt sind ferner Fertiggerichte, wo die Bestandteile separat in Kunststoffbeuteln oder in verschiedenen Kompartments einer meist rechteckigen Schale verpackt sind (Fleisch mit Sauce stellt einen Teil dar während Gemüse oder eine kohlenhydrathaltige Beilage einen anderen Teil bildet.) Die Schale ist so versiegelt, dass über dem Produkt eine deutliche Luftschicht besteht. Dieses führt aber dazu, dass bei einer längeren Tiefkühllagerung die Oberfläche des Produktes austrocknet und es zu einer Eiskristallbildung kommt. Nachteilig ist das Aussehen des Produktes nach Zubereitung in der Schale, da das Produkt zusammenfällt und sich nur im unteren Teil der Schale befindet.Also known are ready meals, where the ingredients are packed separately in plastic bags or in different compartments of a mostly rectangular bowl (meat with sauce is a part while vegetables or a carbohydrate-containing side dish forms another part.) The shell is sealed so that above Product is a significant layer of air. However, this leads to the fact that in a prolonged frozen storage, the surface of the product dries out and it comes to an ice crystal formation. A disadvantage is the appearance of the product after preparation in the shell, since the product coincides and is only in the lower part of the shell.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das eingangs genannte Fertiggericht unter Beseitigung der geschilderten Probleme derart zu verbessern, dass es eine ausgezeichnete Tiefkühllagerung und darüber hinaus eine einfache und schnelle Zubereitung mit hervorragender Optik, insbesondere angepasst an die Mikrowellenzubereitung und Backofenzubereitung, ermöglicht.The present invention has for its object to improve the above-mentioned ready meal with elimination of the problems described in such a way that it provides an excellent frozen storage and beyond a simple and fast preparation with excellent optics, especially adapted to the microwave preparation and baking oven preparation.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch das Fertiggericht nach Anspruch 1 in überraschender Weise gelöst.This object is achieved by the ready meal according to claim 1 in a surprising manner.

Das Wesen der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung liegt darin, dass bestimmte Eigenschaften der servierfertigen Anordnung der Lebensmittelkomponenten und der Art der Nutzung der Verpackung zusammengebracht werden.The essence of the solution according to the invention lies in bringing together certain properties of the serviceable arrangement of the food components and the type of use of the packaging.

Die Lebensmittelkomponenten sind vorteilhafterweise auf einem Kunststoffteller (andere Materialien wie Porzellan oder Karton sind denkbar) so angeordnet, dass sie bei geeigneter Verteilung derselben über die Fläche des Tellers servierfertig sind, wobei eine gleichmäßige Erwärmung erzielt werden kann. Die Bestandteile wie Sauce oder geschnittenes Gemüse sind gleichmäßig über die Fläche verteilt. Kleinkernige Komponenten, wie Reis, können zu Zylindern geformt werden, z.B. a ca. 12g. Die Lebensmittelkomponenten enthalten eine wertgebende Komponente, z.B. Hähnchenfleisch, Fisch oder grob geschnittenes Gemüse, welches vorteilhafter Weise in der Mitte des Tellers und über der Sauce angeordnet wird. Beispielhaft beträgt die Oberfläche eines Fischfilets ca. 23% und die Oberfläche der Hähnchenbrust ca. 18% der sichtbaren Oberfläche des Tellers (schauend von oben). Diese größten Komponenten sind gleichzeitig der wertgebende Bestandteil der Lebensmittelkomponenten. Die Anordnung der Komponenten ist erhaben, d.h. im Querschnitt überragen sie die Höhe des Tellerrandes. Dieses bringt den Vorteil, dass nach der Zubereitung ein Eindruck von einem normal gefüllten Teller entsteht.The food components are advantageously on a plastic plate (other materials such as porcelain or cardboard are conceivable) arranged so that they are ready to serve with a suitable distribution over the surface of the plate, with a uniform heating can be achieved. The ingredients like sauce or sliced vegetables are even across the surface distributed. Small-core components, such as rice, can be formed into cylinders, eg a ca. 12g. The food components contain a valuable component, eg chicken meat, fish or coarsely cut vegetables, which is advantageously placed in the center of the plate and over the sauce. By way of example, the surface of a fish fillet is about 23% and the surface of the chicken breast about 18% of the visible surface of the plate (looking from above). These largest components are at the same time the value-giving component of the food components. The arrangement of the components is sublime, ie in cross section they project beyond the height of the plate edge. This has the advantage that after the preparation of an impression of a normally full plate arises.

Die Lebensmittelkomponenten werden erfindungsgemäß mit einer thermoplastischen Folie so abgedeckt, dass die Folie die Oberfläche der Lebensmittelkomponenten unmittelbar überdeckt. Zwischen der Folie und den Lebensmittelkomponenten besteht keine Luftschicht. Die thermoplastische Folie ist erfindungsgemäß mit ihrem Außenumfang am Rand des Kunststofftellers verbunden und endet dort. Vorteilhafterweise erfolgt die Verbindung ohne Siegelung oder Kleber, sondern ausschließlich durch Adhäsionskräfte. Hierdurch werden gesundheitlich schädigende Dämpfe vermieden, die aus etwaigem Siegellack oder Kleber bei der Zubereitung im Backofen entstehen könnten.The food components are inventively covered with a thermoplastic film so that the film directly covers the surface of the food components. There is no air layer between the film and the food components. The thermoplastic film is inventively connected to its outer periphery at the edge of the plastic plate and ends there. Advantageously, the connection is made without seal or adhesive, but only by adhesive forces. As a result, harmful vapors are avoided, which could arise from any sealing wax or adhesive in the oven.

Durch die Verbindung der Oberfläche der Lebensmittelkomponenten mit der eng anliegenden Folie und die Anordnung derselben auf dem Kunststoffteller werden deutliche Vorteile bei der Tiefkühllagerung über lange Zeit (keine Austrocknung der Oberfläche und Verhinderung der Oxidation der Inhaltstoffe des Gerichtes, da keine Luftschicht vorhanden) wie auch eine schnelle und einfache Zubereitung vor dem Verzehr erreicht. Außerdem wird eine hervorragende Optik (Restaurant -Qualität) erreicht. Das Produkt kann unmittelbar auf dem Kunststoffteller im Backofen ohne Folie und ohne die thermoplastische Folie abzunehmen in der Mikrowelle zubereitet werden. Die Abdeckfolie hält den durch die Mikrowellenenergie verdrängten Wasserdampf über dem Produkt und vermeidet das partielle Austrocknen der Bestandteile des Fertiggerichtes. Der Wasserdampf kondensiert auf den kühleren Teilen des Gerichtes und erwärmt diese zusätzlich durch die Übertragung der Kondensationswärme.By connecting the surface of the food components with the tight-fitting film and the arrangement of the same on the plastic plate are significant advantages in frozen storage for a long time (no drying of the surface and preventing oxidation of the ingredients of the dish, as no air layer available) as well quick and easy preparation before consumption reached. In addition, an excellent appearance (restaurant quality) is achieved. The product can be prepared directly on the plastic plate in the oven without foil and without removing the thermoplastic foil in the microwave. The cover foil keeps the water vapor displaced by the microwave energy above the product and avoids the partial drying out of the components of the ready meal. The steam condenses on the cooler parts of the dish and additionally heats them by transferring the heat of condensation.

Dadurch werden die sensorischen Eigenschaften des erfindungsgemäßen Fertiggerichtes unterstützt.As a result, the sensory properties of the instant meal according to the invention are supported.

Der funktionale Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen Fertiggerichte ist in Fig.1 und 2 beispielhaft dargestellt.The functional structure of the ready meals according to the invention is shown by way of example in FIGS.

Die Verpackung bzw. Unterlage besteht aus einem CPET (kristallines Polyethylenterephthalat) - Kunststoffteller 1, der den Träger des Lebensmittelkomponenten umfassenden Produktes darstellt, als auch aus einer thermoplastischen durchsichtigen, mehrschichtigen Kunststoff-Folie 2, die das Produkt und den Tellerrand abdichtend umschließt. Das Produkt 3 ist ferner in einer mit einem Sichtfenster versehenen Faltschachtel (nicht gezeigt) verpackt, die jedoch vor der Erwärmung entfernt wird.The package consists of a CPET (crystalline polyethylene terephthalate) plastic plate 1, which represents the carrier of the product comprising food components, as well as of a thermoplastic transparent, multilayer plastic film 2, which sealingly encloses the product and the edge of the plate. The product 3 is further packaged in a windowed carton (not shown) which, however, is removed prior to heating.

Der Hauptbestandteil des Produktes 3 (Fleisch, Fisch oder speziell grobes Gemüse) ist in der Mitte des Kunststofftellers 1 positioniert. Andere Bestandteile wie Reis geformt als Zylinder 4, Gemüse und Sauce 5 sind weitgehend gleichmäßig bzw. geeignet über die Fläche des Kunststofftellers angeordnet.The main component of the product 3 (meat, fish or especially coarse vegetables) is positioned in the center of the plastic plate 1. Other ingredients such as rice shaped as a cylinder 4, vegetables and sauce 5 are arranged largely uniformly or suitably over the surface of the plastic plate.

Insbesondere sollte die Unterlage bzw. der Kunststoffteller 1) im Produktbereich eine nahezu runde Form besitzen, da dieses in Verbindung mit entsprechender Produktanordnung für die gleichmäßige Mikrowelleneinwirkung von Vorteil ist. Natürlich ist eine mehreckige oder ovale Form ebenfalls denkbar. Nachteilig ist jedoch eine Form der Verpackung, die sich immer weiter von der vorteilhaften, annähernd runden, in zwei Dimensionen deutlich unterschiedlich großen Verpackung entfernt.In particular, the pad or the plastic plate 1) in the product area should have a nearly round shape, since this in combination with appropriate product arrangement for the uniform microwave exposure is advantageous. Of course, a polygonal or oval shape is also conceivable. A disadvantage, however, is a form of the packaging, which always further away from the advantageous, approximately round, in two dimensions significantly different size packaging.
