- the pouch 1 of the invention is preferably a closed bag, that is to say a container or a food packaging designed to retain or package within it a predefined quantity of food or food products intended for human consumption and or animal.
- Such a bag 1 which is preferably disposable, that is to say it has a disposable nature, is intended to contain a food dose to be converted by direct contact thereof with a heating fluid 2.
- the sachet 1 is intended to be introduced into a heating fluid 2 for cooking or heating said dose of food held in said bag 1.
- heating fluid 2 is meant a fluid, for example water or another liquid, whose temperature is preferably higher than ambient temperature and which is designed either to transform said food, for example to cook, to precook and / or soften, especially by penetration of the heating fluid 2 by said food, either to simply heat or heat said food by simple contact.
- said bag 1 is designed to allow intake or absorption of liquid by the food contained therein to change their characteristics, for example by allowing an increase in their volume and / or a reduction in their rigidity , in particular to facilitate their subsequent consumption, or to ensure a simple reheating / heating of food by contact with said heating fluid 2.
- the cooking or heating of the dose of food in the sachet 1 is preferably done in the presence of a heat source, for example in a liquid brought to a boil, such as boiling water.
- a heat source for example in a liquid brought to a boil, such as boiling water.
- cooking it is preferentially meant the transformation of the food dose, in the presence of a fluid, in particular the at least partial gelatinization of the foodstuffs, for example the gelatinization of the starch which they may contain, but also pre-cooking, the end of cooking pre-cooked food, rehydration or the temperature rise of food.
- heat source for example in a liquid brought to a boil, such as boiling water.
- cooking it is preferentially meant the transformation of the food dose, in the presence of a fluid, in particular the at least partial gelatinization of the foodstuffs, for example the gelatinization of the starch which they may contain, but also pre-cooking, the end of cooking pre-cooked food, rehydration or
- the dose of food therefore comprises a food product whose porosity and surface characteristics allow it to absorb a quantity of water, to undergo a transformation preferentially baking type.
- a food product advantageously natural, uncooked, unprocessed or having undergone minor transformations, which is subjected, in the bag 1, to a liquid intake intended to modify its characteristics, in particular in order to make it more suitable for ia human and / or animal consumption.
- the feed dose is advantageously also formed by grains of cereal, preferably by grains of rice.
- the bag 1 of the invention is advantageously a cooking bag to allow the transformation, for example cooking or precooking, of the feed dose formed of rice grain inside said bag 1.
- the rice grains packaged in the sachet 1 of the invention are edible for humans and / or animals, and contribute to the food intake of the latter.
- Rice has the advantage of being an inexpensive grain, accessible, produced and consumed in large quantities.
- the rice grains are of indica type, which has firmness, texture and elasticity characteristics suitable for cooking in the bag 1 of the invention.
- the feed dose is formed by grains of rice cargo, but it is possible to use also other types of rice grains, for example paddy or blanched, which have been the subject of more or less treatments to remove the different envelopes that surround the grain of rice.
- a grain from a cereal other than rice for example from corn, millet or any other cereal capable of being packaged and cooked in the bag 1 of the invention.
- the feed dose comprises a mixture of several cereal grains of different origins for cooking or pre-cooking in the bag 1.
- the bag 1 may also contain another type of food, different from the rice or a cereal, insofar as the latter is capable of being cooked by absorption of the heating fluid 2 without leaving the bag 1.
- the dose of food comprises a fixed quantity of food, which corresponds for example to one or more unit dose (s) of food conventionally ingested by an individual during a meal, the dose unit being substantially between 50 and 150g of raw food, preferably between substantially 90g or 120g.
- Said sachet 1 comprises at least one zone of permeability 3 to said heating fluid 2 allowing on the one hand! Bringing said heating fluid 2 into contact with said dose of food to cook or heat it.
- the permeability zone 3 advantageously provides an inlet and outlet function of the heating fluid 2 to and from the inside of the bag, with a view to cooking or heating the dose of food by simple contact and / or absorption of heating fluid 2 by the latter.
- the permeability zone 3 is therefore designed to preferably establish a flow of heating fluid 2 between the inside and the outside of said bag 1 but also inside said bag 1. It is also conceivable that the flow of fluid vapor comprises, at least in part, hot air, for example air brought from the outside at the time of diving of said bag 1 in said heating fluid and heated during cooking.
- the sachet 1 comprises a chamber 4 within which is conditioned said dose of food.
- Said chamber 4 has a volume adapted for firstly the creation of said flow of fluid vapor, for example when the fluid 2 has penetrated into said chamber 4 through the permeability zone 3, and secondly the change in the volume of said dose of food during cooking or heating.
- the chamber 4 of the bag 1 has an interior volume large enough to accommodate the dose of food, allow the substantially simultaneous establishment of the flow of heating fluid 2 and its associated vapor flow, and allow a possible transformation of the food dose, for example by increasing its volume after cooking by absorbing a certain quantity of heating fluid 2.
- the permeability zone 3 also allows the creation, inside said bag 1, of a flow of fluid vapor from the heating fluid 2 during the cooking or heating of the food dose.
- the heating fluid 2 which enters said bag 1, at the permeability zone 3, advantageously leads to the formation, preferably by evaporation, of fluid vapor.
- the heating fluid 2 is boiling water
- the sachet 1 of the invention has a substantially geometric shape, so that the volume of the chamber 4 is sufficient for the creation of the heating fluid flows 2 and the heating fluid vapor 2 within said sachet 1.
- the shape of the sachet 1 makes it possible to guarantee optimum cooking or heating of the dose of food.
- the bag 1 has a shape substantially similar to that of a parallelepiped, as illustrated in Figures 3 to 5 of the present invention.
- a parallelepiped shape similar to that of a substantially flattened cushion, corresponds substantially to that of rice cooking bags conventionally encountered for cooking in the bag 1.
- the bag 1 has a shape substantially similar to that of a tetrahedron, as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 8 to 10.
- This tetrahedral shape of the bag 1 is substantially comparable to that of a pyramid having sides 20 or edges 20 of substantially identical length (see Figures 1 and 2) to each other. It is also conceivable that the bag 1 has a generally tetrahedral shape, without its sides 20 having an equal length.
- the chamber 4 of the bag 1 advantageously has a volume greater than that 4 of the pouch 1 in the form of parallelepiped and thus guarantees a circulation volume of the heating fluid 2 and the optimum fluid vapor therein, and sufficient space to contain the increased volume of the food dose during cooking and / or processing.
- Such pyramid configuration of the bag 1 also allows free circulation of food in the chamber 4 and therefore adequate and optimal contact of each food with the heating fluid 2 for a homogeneous cooking of said food at any point of said bag 1.
- the food advantageously still rest on a surface 21 forming bottom 21 of the bag 1, substantially flat and triangular shape (see Figure 1).
- the bag has a shape other than those referred to above, for example a form similar to a substantially flat cushion, at least one of the sides is substantially rounded to the outside said bag 1.
- the bag 1 comprises at least three weld lines 11, 12, 13 related to its manufacturing method described below, which advantageously make it possible to define the chamber 4.
- the bag 1 comprises an upper weld line 11, a lower weld line 12 and a transverse weld line 13 as shown in particular in Figures 1 to 5.
- the bag 1 comprises four corners 6 or points 6 which correspond substantially to the four corners 6 of the parallelepiped or tetrahedron (see Figures 1 to 5). The corners 6 advantageously delimit the contours of the chamber 4, and are therefore preferably located below the upper weld line 11 and above the lower weld line 12.
- Said sachet 1 also comprises at least one impervious zone 5 to the heating fluid 2 for at least partially retaining the flow of fluid vapor inside said sachet 1, in order to allow at least partial emersion of said sachet 1 in the heating fluid 2.
- the bag 1 thus comprises a zone that is substantially impermeable, impermeable or hermetic to the flow of heating fluid vapor 2 as well as advantageously to the heating fluid 2 and to any other evaporation gas, for example moist hot air .
- This impervious zone 5 is preferably designed to retain, block or prevent said vapor from leaving said bag 1 and forms a sealed volume of said bag 1.
- Such a retention of the heating fluid vapor 2 in the permeability zone advantageously causes swelling said bag 1 and consequently causes a rise towards the surface of said heating fluid 2 of the latter in the heating fluid 2, as shown in FIG. 7.
- the heating fluid vapor 2 is preferably confined in the impermeability zone 5 and thus exerts a pressure against the wall 5A of the impermeability zone 5, which causes the deformation, by increasing its volume, the latter.
- the zone of impermeability of bag 1 makes it possible to trap a part of the fluid vapor, in particular of heating fluid 2 and possibly of hot air, which tends to rise in the heating fluid 2, because of its greater lightness compared to the cooking liquid 2 (for example water).
- the impermeability zone 5 comprises a surface sufficient for the confinement of the fluid vapor within it to swell the impermeability zone 5 and causes the pouch 1 to emerge on the surface of the heating fluid 2.
- This zone of impermeability 5 thus provides, preferably, emersion, that is to say the at least partial exit of the bag 1, or even its at least partial flotation, on the surface of said heating fluid 2.
- the bag 1 comprises a single impermeability zone 5 located on a corner 6 of the bag 1, to allow a rise of the latter in the heating fluid 2 towards the surface of said heating fluid 2 and thus facilitate its recovery by the user.
- the heating fluid vapor is retained in a single corner 6 of the sealed bag 1 with the fluid vapor, so that the bag 1 emerges, leaves partially, springs or arises, or even under certain conditions floats, on the surface of said heating fluid 2 by this single wedge 6 comprising the impermeability zone 5 (cf. Figure 7).
- the impervious zone 5 is located at at least one of the corners 6 of said parallelepiped and / or the tetrahedron, thus preferably in opposition to said permeability zone 3 , that is to say far from the latter.
- at least one of the corners 6 or points 6 of said bag 1 is vapor-tight with heating fluid 2, as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, 4, 9 and 10, and can thus be deform by increasing its volume during the confinement of the fluid vapor within said wedge 6, so as to cause the release, at least partially, of the bag 1 from the heating fluid 2.
- the impervious zone 5 in the form of a tetrahedron, it is possible for the impervious zone 5 to be positioned for example at the four corners 6 of said tetrahedron, so that the bag 1 can go back to the
- the tetrahedral or pyramidal form of the bag 1 is preferred, insofar as it allows a tip to always be kept out of the heating fluid 2, without interfering with the cooking. food. Indeed, when depositing a sachet 1 of pyramidal or tetrahedral shape in a container, for the purpose of heating or cooking, one side of the bag 1 will come against the bottom of this container. By construction, the bag 1 will extend between this face and a peak-shaped peak 6.
- This vertex 6 emerges easily out of the water when it at least partially retains said flow of steam.
- These pyramidal or tetrahedral shapes are therefore particularly suitable for presenting an emerging zone when the sachet 1 is introduced into the heating fluid.
- This substantially pyramidal configuration of the bag 1 also promotes the gripping of the bag 1 by the user, the gripping means 9 being moreover advantageously close to the wedge or point 6 comprising the impermeability zone 5 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).
- the impermeability zone 5 it is also possible for the impermeability zone 5 to be above the upper weld line 1 1, as illustrated in FIG. 5, preferably between the partially open weld line 11 for circulating the fluid vapor and a second upper weld line 11 A.
- zone 11 B is vapor-tight and can therefore retain the latter. such that at the time of cooking, a vapor flow is confined in the zone 11 B and thus causes the swelling of the latter and thus the emersion, at least partial, or even the flotation under certain conditions, of the bag 1 in the heating fluid 2.
- the zone 11 B thus advantageously forms, in the presence of fluid vapor within it, a mini bag adjacent and joined to the main bag 1 by the upper weld line 1 partly hollowed out in the form of a hollow duct 1C, so as to in communication zone 1B forming mini bag with the bag 1, in particular with the chamber 4.
- the fluid vapor is released from the chamber 4 of the bag 1 and passes through the hollow conduit 1C in the mini bag 11B, so as to force the latter to inflate to drive said bag 1 to the surface of the heating fluid 2.
- Hot air brought for example from the outside when the dipping of the bag 1 in the heating fluid 2 may also be preferentially trapped in the zone 1 B forming a mini-bag of swelling which causes the emersion of said bag 1 during cooking.
- the zone 11 B forms a balloon, a mini bag or airbag, of substantially geometric shape, designed to first deform in volume and inflate when the retention of fluid vapor within it, and secondly cause the emergence or floating of the bag 1 out of the heating fluid 2.
- the impermeability zone 5 advantageously comprises different shapes or positions in the bag 1, so as to advantageously fulfill its function of retaining the fluid vapor within it, while allowing sufficient heating fluid 2 to enter the sachet 1 to allow optimal cooking of food and while guaranteeing a correct draining of food at the end of cooking
- the permeability zone 3 comprises at least one perforation 7 designed to allow said heating fluid 2 to come into contact with said dose. food.
- the permeability zone 3 comprises a plurality of perforations 7 which are formed on a part of the surface 8 of said bag 1 located in opposition to said impermeability zone 5, as illustrated for example in FIGS. 4.
- the perforations 7 are designed to allow sufficient entry and exit of heating fluid 2, for a fast, optimal and homogeneous cooking of all the food contained in the bag 1, and then for a Quick and easy draining of food at the end of cooking.
- These perforations 7 also allow a simple contact of the heating medium 2 with the food, for example for the purpose of heating or reheating.
- the perforations 7 advantageously have a substantially circular or geometric shape, are preferably separated from each other by a distance of about 2 mm and have a diameter substantially smaller than that of the foodstuffs, in particular grains of rice, so as to ensure the passage of the heating fluid 2 or heating fluid vapor, while retaining said food in the chamber 4 of said bag 1.
- the positioning of the perforations 7 and their density is preferably regular and uniformly distributed over the permeability zone 3, at the surface 8 of said sachet 1, to guarantee the functions of said permeability zone 3.
- the permeability zone 3 represents at least substantially 30% of the surface 8 of said bag 1, advantageously between 50 and 90% of said surface 8, and particularly preferably at least approximately 70% of said surface 8.
- the spatial distribution of said permeability zone 3 and impermeability zone 5 on said sachet 1 makes it possible in particular to guarantee the optimal cooking of the food 3 and the effective emersion of said sachet 1 at the end of cooking, to facilitate its recovery by the user. .
- said permeability zone 3 and imperviousness zone 5 are preferably substantially opposed to said bag 1 in order to guarantee their respective functions.
- the perforations 7 are for this purpose much more numerous on the part of the permeability zone 3 furthest from the impermeability zone 5, in particular near the triangular bottom 21 of the tetrahedral-shaped bag 1 (cf. Figures 1 and 2) or the lower end close to the lower weld line 12 of the bag 1 in the form of a cushion (see Figure 3 to 5).
- Such spatial configuration and distribution of the perforations 7 on the bag 1 advantageously guarantee optimum cooking of food by a massive inlet of heating fluid 2 in the low position of the bag 1, for example when it rests on its bottom 21 or on its weld line lower 12, and a confinement of the steam in the high position of the bag 1 ; close to its upper weld line 1 1, or its upper corners 6 in the impervious zone 5.
