[0022]
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the upper surface of the lower mold (3) is gently inclined forward and also gently in the left and right directions with the center part as a boundary. Oil that has oozed out of the dough material during firing flows toward the oil collecting portion (9) as shown by the arrow, and is discharged from the oil drain hole (10).
[0023]
On the upper surface of the lower mold (3), three upwardly protruding ridges (11) for placing a dough material having substantially mountain-shaped cross-sections facing in the front-rear direction and parallel to each other are provided with upper and lower ends (8). ) And are integrally connected to each other with a slight separation. The longitudinal length of the upward ridge (11) is, for example, 200 mm.
[0024]
At the top end of each upward ridge (11), a concave groove (12) into which a bar-shaped fork of a removal tool (19) described later can be inserted is formed.
[0025]
On the lower surface of the lower mold (3), an upward concave groove (13) is continuously formed in a meandering U-shape, and a heating means such as a sheath heater (14) is formed in the concave groove (13). Mated.
[0026]
As shown in the bottom view of FIG. 7 and the sectional view of FIG. 8, the upper mold (6) is formed of an aluminum alloy or the like into a square having substantially the same size as the lower mold (3), and has a flat lower surface. In the figure, four downwardly protruding ridges (15) each having a substantially wedge-shaped cross section that gradually taper downward are connected in parallel in the front-rear direction.
[0027]
The vertical dimension of each downward ridge (15) is larger than that of the upward ridge (11) of the lower die (3), and the separation dimension of the adjacent downward ridge (15) is set to the upward ridge. By making it sufficiently larger than the left and right dimensions of (11), the lower surface of the upper die (6) is surrounded by the downwardly projecting ridges (15), Three rows of upward concave grooves (15a) that can be fitted with more room are formed.
[0028]
Further, when the upper mold (6) is closed, the gap between each upward ridge (11) and the adjacent downward ridge (15) is substantially lower in the front-rear direction with both front and rear ends open. There are three rows of firing spaces (16) in a V-shape.
[0029]
Heating means such as a sheathed heater (14) is fitted into the concave groove (13) formed on the upper surface of the upper die (6).
[0030]
In order to bake bread using the bread maker (1) of the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper mold (6) is opened upward together with the open / close lid (5), and the lower mold (3) is opened. )), A dough material for a rectangular bread previously kneaded to a predetermined length and thickness is placed on each upward ridge (11).
[0031]
FIG. 9 shows this state. Since the material (17) is soft, the material (17) hangs downward in a U-shape along the outer shape of the upward ridge (11).
[0032]
Then, the opening / closing lid (5) is rotated downward and closed, and the upper and lower dies are closed while the lower end of the downward ridge (15) of the upper die (6) is in contact with the upper surface of the lower die (3). (3) When (6) is heated by the sheath heater (14) for a certain period of time, as shown in FIG. 10, the dough material (17) is heated in the firing space (16) (see FIG. 8) and expands. Is baked into a substantially downward-shaped V-shaped pan (18) having the same shape as the baking space (16).
[0033]
At the time of baking, the oil oozing out of the dough material (17) is quickly dropped onto the inclined upper surface of the lower mold (3), flows toward the oil collecting portion (9), and is perforated. The oil is discharged from the oil drain hole (10).
[0034]
Therefore, the problem that the oil oozing out from the dough material (17) adheres to the baked bread (18) and has a sticky feeling is eliminated, and the baked bread is crisp.
[0035]
After opening the open / close lid (5), the bread (18) after baking uses a removal tool (19) having three bar-shaped forks (19a) at the center and at the lower right and left sides as shown in FIG. Thus, it can be separated from the upward ridge (11).
[0036]
That is, the center fork (19a) is inserted into the concave groove (12) at the top end of the upward ridge (11), and the two left and right forks (19a) are connected to the left and right of the upward ridge (11). It may be inserted into the inner surface of the pan (18) along the outer peripheral surface and lifted upward.
[0037]
As shown in FIG. 12, the bread (18) removed from the lower mold (3) is provided to a customer or the like as an upside down, that is, a substantially V-shape.

In addition, various ingredients desired by customers, such as sausage, fried egg, fresh cream, curry and the like, can be inserted into the V-groove of the bread (18) for sale.
[0039]
As described above, in the baking oven of the above embodiment, the front and rear ends are opened by the upward ridge (11) of the lower die (3) and the downward ridge (15) of the upper die (6). A long baking space (16) is formed in the front-rear direction, and the batter (17) is baked in the baking space (16). (18) can be easily fired.
[0040]
Also, by changing the right and left dimensions of the cloth material (17), that is, the downward hanging dimensions in FIG. 9, breads (18) having different vertical dimensions (depth of the V-groove) can be baked.
[0041]
Further, since the substantially V-shaped bread (18) is turned upside down, that is, the dough material (17) is placed on the upward ridge (11) of the lower mold (3) and baked, the oil oozing out therefrom is baked. As a result, unlike the conventional general baking mold shown in FIG. 13, oil exuding from the material (17) does not accumulate in the concave baking space.
[0042]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
The upper die (6) of the above embodiment has a plurality of downwardly projecting ridges (15) formed on the lower surface thereof, and an upwardly facing groove (15a) is formed between adjacent downwardly projecting ridges (15). However, the upper mold (6) may be entirely thick and have a plurality of upward concave grooves (15a) formed on the lower surface thereof.
[0043]
Although three firing spaces (16) are formed between the opposing surfaces of the upper and lower molds (3) and (6), the number of firing spaces may be one or three or more.
[0044]
It goes without saying that the present invention can also be used for baking pie, baked confectionery and the like in addition to the above bread.

(A) According to the invention described in claim 1, the dough material placed on the upward ridge of the lower mold is baked in a baking space of a required length formed on the opposing surfaces of the upper and lower dies. Therefore, by changing the size of the bread dough, bread having a substantially V-shaped cross section having different lengths and vertical dimensions can be easily baked.
In addition, since the bread having a substantially V-shaped cross section is baked in an upside-down direction in a baking space having a downward V-shaped cross section, the oil oozing out of the bread dough material is easily dropped onto the upper surface of the lower mold, and the baking space is formed. It does not accumulate. Therefore, the bread is baked into a bread having no sticky feeling.
[0046]
(B) According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is not necessary to make the upper die thick and to form an upward concave groove on the lower surface thereof. The conductivity is also improved, and the heating efficiency is improved.
[0047]
(C) According to the third aspect of the invention, the oil dropped on the lower mold at the time of baking the dough material can flow to one side, so that the entire upper surface of the lower mold is filled with oil, and the upper surface of the lower mold after baking is filled. Does not adhere to bread.
[0048]
(D) According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the oil on the upper surface of the lower mold is collected in the oil collecting portion, and is automatically discharged from the oil drain hole formed in that portion.
Further, since the oil collecting portion protrudes from one side of the lower mold, the oil discharged from the oil drain hole is not likely to be applied to a heating means such as a sheathed heater provided on the lower surface, and is safe.
[0049]
(E) According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the bread after firing is easily separated from the upward ridge by inserting and removing the rod-shaped removal tool into the concave groove at the top end of the upward ridge. Can be.
