JP-A-11-91834 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-207971

  The food packaging container described in Patent Document 1 is cooked by putting food such as udon into a microwave oven. Furthermore, this food packaging container is provided with a medium dish for storing jelly-like udon soup. When the food packaging container is heated in a microwave oven, the jelly-like soup melts and falls into the container like a shower and is sprinkled with udon. Therefore, this food packaging container can easily cook udon in soup with a microwave oven.

  In the food packaging container described in Patent Document 2, a flange is provided in the opening, and a lid is heat sealed on the flange surface to close the opening. The heat seal of the lid is provided with a steam outlet. In this food packaging container, when food is put and heated in a microwave oven, steam is ejected from the steam outlet. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the packaging container from being ruptured by the generated steam pressure. Moreover, since it is heated with a microwave oven, it is not necessary to open a hole for discharging steam to the container, and the food can be heated while being put in the container.

  The food packaging containers described in these publications can be easily cooked by heating food in a microwave oven. However, in order to eat heated food in tableware, it is necessary to transfer the food from the food packaging container to the tableware. At this time, the food is heated and heated, and the food packaging container is also heated and heated. That is, since hot food is taken out from a hot container, it is difficult to easily transfer it to tableware.

  In addition, it takes more time to put a plurality of food items on the tableware because the food items are taken out of the hot container and then put on the tableware. In particular, it is more time-consuming to put hot food on a tableware neatly.

  This drawback can be eliminated by removing the food from the food packaging container before heating it, transferring it to tableware, and placing it on the tableware and heating it in a microwave oven. However, if food is placed on a plate and heated in a microwave oven, the food loses its moisture and cannot be cooked in a delicious state. In order to avoid this harmful effect, if food is wrapped with a plastic film or the like and heated, it takes more time to wrap. In addition, if the wrapping is peeled off after the food is heated, the food will adhere to the inner surface of the film. Therefore, when the wrapping is removed, the position of the food placed on the tableware will be shifted, and it will not be possible to make a beautiful arrangement. Moreover, when wrapping is removed, there is also a drawback that a part of the food adhering to the inner surface is peeled off and cannot be cooked in a clean state.

In addition, there is a feature that a dish with various foods can be cooked in a delicious state on the tableware.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the Example shown below illustrates the packaged food and packaging cooking method for actualizing the technical idea of this invention, and this invention does not specify a packaging food and the packaging cooking method below.

  Further, in this specification, in order to facilitate understanding of the scope of claims, numbers corresponding to the members shown in the examples are indicated in the “claims” and “means for solving problems” sections. It is added to the members. However, the members shown in the claims are not limited to the members in the embodiments.

  The packaged food shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 stores the frozen food 1 in the storage unit 3 of the food packaging container 2. The frozen food 1 is hamburger, shumai, yakitori, pizza, gyoza, omelet rice, oden, side dish, fried noodles, fried rice, rice, and the like. The frozen food 1 is made by solidifying various foods.

  The food packaging container 2 is manufactured by molding a thermoplastic plastic sheet by a method such as vacuum forming or pressure forming. The plastic sheet used for forming the food packaging container 2 is a heat-resistant plastic having sufficient strength at the heating temperature of the food. For example, polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, or the like is used as the heat-resistant plastic sheet. Furthermore, the plastic sheet has translucency so that the food stored in the food packaging container 2 can be seen from the outside. The food packaging container 2 molded with this plastic sheet can see the food contained in the storage part 3 from the outside.

  The food packaging container 2 is manufactured by molding a plastic sheet. The food packaging container 2 has a plurality of storage units 3 so that a plurality of foods can be arranged and stored. The storage unit 3 of the food packaging container 2 specifies an arrangement in which a plurality of foods are arranged on the tableware 10. Accordingly, the plurality of storage units 3 are provided in the food packaging container 2 so that each food can be arranged most beautifully on the tableware 10. For example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the food packaging container 2 that stores a plurality of shumai in each storage section 3 is arranged in such a manner that the shumai 22 can be regularly arranged and placed on the tableware 10. To do. In the food packaging container 2 for storing the same food in a plurality of storage units 3, the plurality of storage units 3 are regularly arranged as shown in FIG. Can be arranged side by side. However, a food packaging container for storing different foods in the storage unit such as a lunch box will be described later, but a plurality of storage units are arranged so that each food can be easily eaten or arranged neatly. .

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the food packaging container 2 is placed on the tableware 10 so as to face down, and the opening 4 of the storage unit 3 is closed with the tableware 10. In this state, the food in the storage unit 3 is closed and cooked in the microwave, so that it can be cooked deliciously without wrapping with a plastic film. In order to realize this, the food packaging container 2 has a shape provided with a closed loop portion 6 located on the same plane along the opening edge of each storage portion 3 as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 8, a closed loop portion 6 is provided in which the outer sides of the opening edges of the plurality of storage portions 3 are arranged in the same plane continuously in a closed loop shape. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, the food packaging container 2 has a shape in which a plurality of storage portions 3 are provided inside a flat closed loop portion 6 located on the same plane. The closed loop portion 6 may be provided at the edge, and the closed loop portion 6 may be provided outside the opening edge of the plurality of storage portions 3.

  Further, the food packaging container 2 is formed such that each of the storage portions 3 has a depth that prevents the stored food from protruding from the surface including the closed loop portion 6. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the food packaging container 2 shown in FIGS. 7 and 9 stores the food so as not to protrude from the surface including the closed loop portion 6 by making the storage portion 3 deeper than the height of the food. Can be stored in part 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the food packaging container 2 of FIG. 8 can store the food so as not to protrude from the surface including the closed loop portion 6 by making the food higher than the depth of the storage portion 3. This is because the closed loop portion 6 provided outside the plurality of storage portions 3 is made higher than the opening edge of the storage portion 3. In this food packaging container 2, the distance from the bottom surface 7 of the storage unit 3 to the closed loop unit 6 is made larger than the height of the food stored in the storage unit 3.

  The reason why the storage part 3 of the food packaging container 2 is formed in the above-described shape is that the closed loop part 6 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the tableware 10 and the opening 4 of the storage part 3 is closed by the tableware 10. If food protrudes from the storage unit 3, the closed loop unit 6 cannot be brought into contact with the surface of the tableware 10 around the entire circumference, and the storage unit 3 cannot be closed by the tableware 10. The reason why the inner side of the closed loop portion 6 is closed with the tableware 10 is that the frozen food 1 is heated and cooked in a microwave oven in the closed state, as in the case of wrapping, although the film is not wrapped. . In order to close the storage portion 3 by bringing the upper surface of the tableware 10 into contact with the closed loop portion 6, the closed loop portion 6 contacts the upper surface of the tableware 10 while continuously surrounding the entire circumference of the opening 4 of the storage portion 3. It is necessary to let If the closed loop portion 6 does not contact the upper surface of the tableware 10 in this state, a gap is formed between the closed loop portion 6 and the tableware 10, and the opening 4 of the storage unit 3 cannot be closed with the tableware 10. If the opening part 4 of the storage part 3 cannot be closed with the tableware 10, when the frozen food 1 is heated with a microwave oven, water vapor will leak freely and the frozen food 1 cannot be heated in a lapping state. The packaged food from which the frozen food 1 does not protrude from the surface including the closed loop portion 6 can reliably close the opening 4 of the storage portion 3 at the flat portion of the tableware 10 with which the closed loop portion 6 comes into contact.

  Furthermore, since the food packaging container 2 shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 has the closed loop portion 6 as the flange portion 6A or the wide portion 6B having a predetermined width, the food packaging container 2 can be more reliably closed on the upper surface of the tableware 10. This is because the flange portion 6 </ b> A and the wide portion 6 </ b> B that are the closed loop portion 6 are in surface contact with the surface of the tableware 10 in a wide area. However, the closed loop portion 6 does not necessarily have a shape having a predetermined width as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 10, the closed loop portion 6 may be a cut surface of a plastic sheet.

  Furthermore, the food packaging container 2 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 is provided with a recess 12 having an opening area smaller than the bottom surface 7 of the storage unit 3 at the bottom of the storage unit 3. In the recess 12, a frozen sauce 11 to be applied to the frozen food 1 is placed. The sauce is stored in the recess 12 in a state of being frozen and solidified. The depth of the recess 12 is deeper than the height of the frozen sauce. The food packaging container 2 having this structure can be separated so that the frozen sauce put in the recess 12 and the food put in the storage portion 3 do not come into contact with each other. According to this structure, the sagging of the recess 12 separated from the food is heated by the microwave oven and applied to the food. For this reason, the sauce can be eaten deliciously over food in an ideal state.

  The food is frozen in each storage unit 3 or frozen in the storage unit 3. The packaged food in which the sauce is put in the recess 12 is also put in the recess 12 in a frozen state, or the sauce is frozen in the recess 12 in the same manner. In the illustrated food packaging container 2, the concave portion 12 is made smaller than the storage portion 3, so that the sauce that is not frozen in the concave portion 12 and the food that is not frozen are put in the storage portion 3, and both the sauce and food are frozen together. can do. Further, when the food and the sauce are frozen in this state, the sauce is frozen and attached to the bottom surface 13 of the recess 12 and the food is attached to the bottom surface 7 of the storage portion 3.

  Furthermore, foods to be eaten over a plurality of different sauces, for example, foods with cheese over foods and sauces over cheese, as shown in FIG. Into the food packaging container 2 provided with a recess 12. The food packaging container 2 is provided with a first recess 12A at the bottom of the storage portion 3, and further with a second recess 12B at the bottom of the first recess 12A. The first recess 12A has an opening area smaller than the bottom surface 7 of the storage portion 3, and the second recess 12B has an opening area smaller than the bottom surface 13 of the first recess 12A. Further, the first recess 12A is formed deeper than the height of the first frozen sauce 11A to be inserted here, and the second recess 12B is formed to be deeper than the height of the second frozen sauce 11B to be entered here. The food packaging container 2 separates the frozen food 1 and the first frozen sauce 11A, and also separates the first frozen sauce 11A and the second frozen sauce 11B. That is, the food and the sauce contained in the food packaging container 2 are all separated and stored, heated in a microwave oven, the first frozen sauce 11A is thawed and applied to the food, and the first frozen sauce 11A The second frozen sauce 11B is thawed and applied on top.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the food which applies sauce only to a specific part like a yakitori is provided with the recessed part 12 only in the part which applies sauce. The food packaging container 2 in these drawings is provided with four rows of storage portions 3 for storing four yakitori in parallel, and a recess 12 is provided only at the bottom of each storage portion 3 where the chicken meat 20 is to be stored. The portion into which the yakitori skewer 21 is inserted and which is gripped by hand is not provided with a recess. When the food packaging container 2 is placed on the tableware 10 with the opening 4 down and heated in a microwave oven, the sauce of the recess 12 is put on the chicken meat 20 but not on the portion gripped by the hand of the skewer 21. Then, the dishes 10 are neatly arranged in parallel and cooked. For this reason, it is possible to eat yakitori by grabbing the skewer 21 without sauce. Not only yakitori, but food that is eaten with sauce only on a specific portion is provided with a recess only in the portion where the sauce is applied, and the sauce is stored in this recess. Furthermore, foods eaten with different sauces on different portions are provided with recesses for placing different sauces in specific portions, and different sauces are placed here.

  In the above packaged food, the opening 4 of the food packaging container 2 is in a state in which the food in the storage unit 3 of the food packaging container 2 is frozen, the sauce in the recess 12 is frozen, or the food and sauce are not frozen. Is closed with the lid seal 8 or the food packaging container 2 is put in the outer bag 9. For packaged food in which the food and sauce are not frozen, the lid 4 seals the opening 4 or puts the food packaging container 2 in the outer bag 9 and then freezes the food and sauce.

  The frozen food 1 having the specific upper surface 1 </ b> A placed on the tableware 10 as the upper surface when eating is stored in the storage unit 3 so that the specific upper surface 1 </ b> A faces the bottom surface 7 of the storage unit 3. The frozen food 1 having the specific upper surface 1A is, for example, pizza, omelet rice, dumplings, or shumai. The top surfaces of these foods are determined when they are placed on the tableware 10. For example, pizza has a specific top surface as the surface on which various ingredients are placed, and Shumai has a specific top surface as the side collecting the skin. In this way, the food with the specific upper surface 1 </ b> A determined is stored with the specific upper surface 1 </ b> A facing the bottom surface 7 of the storage unit 3.

  The frozen food 1 stored in this posture is stored in the storage unit 3 upside down from the conventional direction. The conventional frozen food is put in a food packaging container and heated, and the heated food is taken out of the food packaging container and placed on the tableware, whereas the present invention turns the food packaging container 2 upside down, that is, This is because, after the food is heated in the microwave oven in this state with the opening 4 facing downward, the food packaging container 2 is removed from the tableware 10 and the food is eaten as it is. Frozen foods are not necessarily served with a specific top surface. For example, hamburger, yakitori, oden, side dish, fried noodles, fried rice, rice, etc. have no specific top surface. Therefore, these frozen foods can be stored in the storage unit without specifying the direction.

  The packaged food can store the same type of food in the plurality of storage units 3 of the food packaging container 2 or can store different types of food. For example, the packaged food shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 has a plurality of Shumai 22 stored in one food packaging container 2. The packaged food shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 stores a plurality of yakitori in one food packaging container 2. These packaged foods are heated in a state where the food packaging container 2 is placed on the tableware 10, the foods stored in a plurality of storage units are cooked together, and the same foods are regularly arranged and served on the tableware 10. it can.

  Furthermore, the packaged food shown in FIG. 14 stores different types of food in the plurality of storage units 3. The food packaging container 2 shown in the figure is formed with four storage portions 3, and the main food is placed in the storage portion 3 located on the lower side in the figure, and the food to be added to the remaining three storage portions 3. I try to store it. In the illustrated food packaging container 2, the storage unit 3 that stores the main food is formed larger than the other storage units 3. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, this packaged food can realize a hamburger lunch with the main food as the hamburger 23 and the garnished food as the potato 25, the carrot 26, and the beans 27. Further, although not shown in the figure, the packaged food can be used as a child lunch with the main food as omelet rice and the garnished food as spaghetti, croquette, wiener and the like. In addition to these, the garnished food can be vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, spinach, peas and corn, or food such as gratin and fried chicken. Furthermore, the food packaging container 2 shown in FIG. 14 is provided with a concave portion 12 on the bottom surface of the storage portion 3 for storing the main food so as to store ketchup sauce or demiglace sauce that is a sauce 24 applied to the hamburger 23. As described above, the concave portion can be provided with the first concave portion and the second concave portion to store two kinds of sauces. As two types of sauces to be applied to the hamburger, for example, demiglace sauce can be stored in the first recess and cheese can be stored in the second recess.

  Furthermore, food packaging containers that store different foods in a plurality of storage units do not necessarily have to be distinguished from main foods and garnished foods. In the packaged food, the sizes of the plurality of storage units can be made equal to store different foods. For example, the packaged goods can be made into Chinese lunch boxes by storing Shumai, shrimp chili sauce, meat dumplings, grilled pork, etc. in each storage unit.

  As described above, the packaged food that stores different types of food in the plurality of storage units 3 can be cooked together with other types of food by placing one food packaging container 2 on the tableware 10 and cooking it. . For this reason, a dish in which various foods are variously arranged like a set meal or lunch can be cooked on the tableware 10 very easily.

  In the packaged food of FIG. 1, a food packaging container 2 in which food is stored in each storage section 3 and sauce is inserted in a recess 12 is placed in an outer bag 9. The outer bag 9 packages the food packaging container 2 so that the frozen food 1 does not come out of the storage unit 3. 2, 3, 11, and 12, the packaged food shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 11, and FIG. doing. The lid seal 8 that closes the opening 4 is connected to the closing loop portion 6 of the storage portion 3 so as to be peeled off. The food packaging container 2 shown in the figure has a lid seal 8 welded to a flange portion 6A or a wide portion 6B provided on the opening edge or outside of the storage portion 3 and fixed so as to be peeled off.
