Description

  The present invention relates to a mold for cooking that can be cooked with a frying pan or the like while holding the shaped food, and that can be easily removed after cooking.

  Poured ingredients such as hamburger seeds and raw eggs into a mold that was formed by bending a metal plate, and cooked in a frying pan or oven, imitating the shape of a mold such as a star or heart It is known to make ingredients.

  In this conventional mold, as it is, the food that has been molded and held in the mold is stuck to the inner peripheral surface of the mold by heating cooking, and when it is forcibly removed, the shape of the food becomes There was a fault that collapsed.

  Therefore, it is often done to draw oil on the inner peripheral surface of the mold so that the ingredients can be easily removed from the mold, but it is troublesome to redraw the oil every time it is cooked. Even when pulled, they often stick together and the shape of the food often collapses when removed.

Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a taper is devised on the inner peripheral surface of the mold.
In this way, when the contact surface between the food and the mold is inclined, the food can be removed from the mold along the inclination.

However, even if the taper is attached in this way, when the sticking is severe, there is a problem that when the food is removed from the mold, part of the food remains attached to the mold and the shape is lost. .
In addition, when the mold is formed of metal in this way, the shape cannot be freely formed because of restrictions on the molding method due to the characteristics of the metal.
Furthermore, if the side with the larger diameter of the inner peripheral surface of the mold is turned down, the food will slide out, so it must be cooked with the side with the larger diameter of the inner peripheral surface facing up and turned over. It was very difficult to color the food on both sides.

On the other hand, as in Patent Document 2, it is also considered that a mold is formed from a hardened kneaded food and the mold is also eaten together with the food.
In this way, there is no need to remove the ingredients from the formwork, and therefore it is convenient that the ingredients do not lose their shape, but if a new formwork is required for each cooking, the cost is high. Met.
In addition, if the formwork is eaten together, there is a risk that the original taste of the prepared food will be impaired, and if the formwork is made of food in this way, there is a problem that it cannot be preserved.

  In addition, as in Patent Document 3, in a cookie mold, an annular mold is formed of an elastic material, a part of the mold is divided, and the grip is extended to the outside. It is known that the width of the formwork can be changed by adjusting.

  In this way, with the grip firmly held and the width of the formwork narrowed, the cookie dough is cast, and the grip grip is weakened and the width of the formwork widened to remove the mold dough from the formwork. It can be easily removed (dropped off).

However, this is good for cooking with the ingredients removed from the mold, but when cooking with ingredients held in the mold, the mold is placed on a frying pan. It is almost impossible to hold the grip so that the ingredients do not fall off during cooking.
Therefore, the configuration of the cookie mold cannot be transferred to a cooking mold used for hamburger or fried egg.
JP 60-77532 A JP-A-10-28539 JP 61-182276 A

  Accordingly, the present invention makes it easy to remove food from the mold after heating and cooking, and allows the mold to be molded into a free shape in a mold that can be cooked while holding the prepared food. Is an issue.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the heat cooking resin of the present invention having a durometer hardness of 10 or more and 80 or less measured with a type A durometer (for medium hardness) in accordance with JISK6253 is circular. It is configured to be capable of holding the molded food in a space surrounded by the annular frame.

  In addition, the durometer hardness of the heat resistant resin used for the cooking mold is set to 10 or more and 80 or less because if it is less than 10, it is too soft and the holding ability of the food becomes insufficient, and if it exceeds 80, it is too hard. This is because it is difficult to remove the ingredients.

In this case, since the heat-resistant resin that is the material of the mold has an appropriate elasticity, the mold can be easily deformed by being bent by hand while having shape retention.
Therefore, at the time of cooking, it is possible to remove the food smoothly by curving the formwork by hand, etc. after cooking, while holding the molded food firmly so as not to drop off.
In addition, since this mold is made by integrally molding resin, unlike metal molds, there are few restrictions at the time of molding, and it can be molded into various shapes, and the variations of the mold shapes are widened. .
Furthermore, if the tip of the turner (fly-turning) is applied to the boundary between the frying pan and the formwork, the formwork will be slightly elastically deformed by the press of the turner, resulting in a minute gap between the frame and the frying pan. By inserting a turner into this gap, it becomes easy to turn the mold over while holding the food.
Therefore, it is possible to easily color the both sides of the food without dropping off the food from the mold.

Here, as the heat resistant resin, specifically, polyimide, phenol resin, urea resin, melamine resin, epoxy resin, polysulfone resin, polyethersulfone resin, polyphenylene sulfide resin, polyarylate resin, polyetherimide resin, Polyether ketone resins, liquid crystal polymers, fluororesins and the like are suitable.
Among these, silicone resins are particularly excellent in heat resistance, ease of molding, and the like, and are optimal for easy removal of food materials because of good surface slippage.
Two or more kinds of silicone resins and these heat-resistant resins may be used in combination.

The internal volume of the heating cooking mold is not particularly limited, 1 cm ³ or more 500 cm ³ or less, more preferably 4 cm ³ or more 100 cm ³ or less.
If the internal volume is smaller than 1 cm ³ , it may be difficult to put food into the mold.
On the other hand, if it is larger than 500 cm ³ , it may be difficult to turn the mold over while holding the foodstuff.

The size of the cooking frame is not particularly limited, but the major axis is 150 mm or less, the minor axis is 30 mm or more, more preferably the major axis is 100 mm or less, and the minor axis is 50 mm or more.
If the major axis is larger than 150 mm, it may be difficult to turn the mold over while holding the foodstuff.
In addition, if the minor axis is smaller than 30 mm, it may be difficult to put food into the mold.

The height of the cooking frame is not particularly limited, but is 3 mm or more and 50 mm or less, more preferably 5 mm or more and 20 mm or less.
If the height is smaller than 3 mm, it may be difficult to turn the mold over while holding the food.
Moreover, when the height is larger than 50 mm, the food may not be sufficiently cooked.

The thickness of the annular frame is not particularly limited, but is 0.1 mm or more and 20 mm or less, more preferably 0.5 mm or more and 5 mm or less.
If the thickness of the annular frame is less than 0.1 mm or greater than 20 mm, it may be difficult to turn the mold over while holding the food.

The upper and lower edges of the frame body are formed in an arc shape in the radial direction (direction from the inner side of the frame body to the outer side) so that the vertical thickness of the annular frame body decreases from the inner side of the frame body to the outer side, and the radius of curvature thereof is If it is 0.5 mm or more, when the frame is placed on the frying pan, a wedge-shaped gap of a certain size or more will be created between them, making it easier to insert the turner and even easier to turn the mold over. Become.
When the radius of curvature is 1 mm or more, a large gap is created between the mold and the frying pan, which is preferable because it is easier to insert the turner.

Even when the upper and lower edges of the frame are tapered in the radial direction and the inclination angle of the upper and lower surfaces of the frame with respect to the tangential plane is 5 degrees or more, the same effect as in the case of the arc is obtained.
The inclination angle is more preferably 10 degrees or more.

If the collar part surrounding the circumferential direction of the frame body is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the annular frame body, the collar body supports the frame body from the outer periphery, so that the shape retention of the mold is improved.
Further, since the heel portion has a smaller thickness in the vertical direction than the frame body, a gap is created between the frying pan and the heel portion in a state where the mold is placed on the frying pan.
Therefore, it is possible to insert the tip of the turner into this gap and turn the mold over.

The thickness of the collar portion is not particularly limited as long as it is larger than the annular frame, but is 0.5 mm or more and 30 mm or less, more preferably 3 mm or more and 10 mm or less.
The width of the collar portion is not particularly limited, but may be about 0.2 to 0.8 times the height of the annular frame.

When a recess extending in the circumferential direction of the frame is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the annular frame, when the food is held in a space surrounded by the frame, the food enters the recess and is heated in that state. To solidify.
Therefore, the outer periphery of the food material fits into the recess and is firmly held, and is prevented from falling off from the mold during cooking.
In addition, the hollow part may be provided over the perimeter of the internal peripheral surface of a frame, and may be provided in the part.

When irregularities are formed on the upper and lower edges of the annular frame, only the convex and concave portions of the irregularities come into contact with the frying pan when the mold is placed on the frying pan.
Therefore, the area where the mold and the frying pan are in direct contact can be reduced, and deterioration of the mold due to the heat of the frying pan can be suppressed.

  By forming a mold for cooking that consists of an annular frame with a predetermined hardness that can be easily deformed by bending by hand, it is formed integrally with a heat-resistant resin. It can be held firmly so that it will not fall off, and the ingredients can be removed smoothly by bending the formwork by hand.

  In addition, since the heat-resistant resin is integrally molded, there are few restrictions at the time of molding, the shape variation is widened, and the frame body is elastically deformed, so it is easy to insert the turner between the frying pan and the mold frame is pulled. Easy to repeat.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The heating cooking mold 10 of the first embodiment is formed by integrally molding a silicone resin, and surrounds the annular frame 11 having a heart shape in plan view and the outer peripheral surface of the frame 11 as shown in FIG. The space 13 surrounded by the frame body 11 is configured to hold the food taken by the frame body 11.
Hereinafter, this cooking mold 10 is referred to as a heart mold 10.

The heating and cooking mold 20 of the second embodiment is formed by integrally molding silicone resin, and surrounds the star-shaped annular frame 21 and the outer peripheral surface of the frame 21 as shown in FIG. The space 23 surrounded by the frame body 21 is configured to hold the food material molded by the frame body 21.
Hereinafter, the cooking frame 20 of this embodiment is referred to as a star frame 20.
Further, when referring to the heart-shaped frame 10 and the star-shaped frame 20, they are simply referred to as the mold frames 10 and 20.

Here, the molds 10 and 20 are formed by integrally molding a silicone resin by an injection molding method.
The durometer hardness of the silicone resin is in the range of 10 to 80 as measured with a type A durometer (for medium hardness) in accordance with JIS K 6253, and has sufficient shape retention. And can be easily deformed.
Since the frame bodies 11 and 21 are supported by the flange portions 12 and 22, respectively, these mold frames 10 and 20 have particularly good shape retention.

In order to cook food F using these molds 10 and 20, the spaces 13 and 23 are filled with food F such as hamburger seeds and raw eggs as shown in FIG. By heating P.
If one side of the food F is baked, the molds 10 and 20 filled with the food F are turned over by the turner T, the other side is baked, and both sides are baked.
At this time, due to the heat retaining properties of the molds 10, 20, the fire is good and the food F is baked quickly and deliciously.
In particular, during cooking of hamburgers, the molds 10 and 20 dampen out the gravy so that they do not escape outside, so the taste is much better than when the molds 10 and 20 are not used.

When the fire passes sufficiently, the food F is removed from the molds 10 and 20.
At this time, since the molds 10 and 20 can be easily deformed by hand as described above, the surface of the silicone resin is slippery when lightly curved, so that the food F can be removed smoothly. There is no loss of shape.
The finished food F is imitated in a heart shape and a star shape, and is very interesting.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1F, the heart-shaped frame 10 is provided with a recess 11a on the inner peripheral surface of the frame body 11 over the entire periphery.
When the space 13 is filled with the food F, the food F enters the hollow portion 11a and is heated in this state to solidify the food F.
Therefore, the outer periphery of the food material fits into the recessed portion 11a and is firmly held, and the food material F does not fall off from the heart-shaped frame 10 during cooking.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1C and 1D, the upper and lower surfaces 11b of the frame 11 of the heart-shaped frame 10 are rounded to draw an arc in the radial direction (from the inside of the frame 11 to the outside). It is formed on the surface 11b, and its radius of curvature R is 0.5 mm or more, more preferably 1 mm or more.
Since the heart-shaped frame 10 is formed by molding a silicone resin, it is easy to form the upper and lower surfaces 11b in an arcuate surface, unlike the case of molding metal.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the heart-shaped frame 10 is placed on the frying pan P, a wedge-shaped gap that narrows inward from the outside of the frame 11 between the heart-shaped frame 10 and the frying pan P. S is formed.
The gap S is relatively large because the radius of curvature R of the circular arc surface 11b is set as described above.
Therefore, when the turner T is directed to the gap S, the silicone resin that is the material of the frame 11 is easily elastically deformed, and the tip thereof is inserted without difficulty. Can be turned upside down.

Of course, as shown in the figure, since there is a relatively large space between the heel part 12 and the frying pan P, the heart-shaped frame 10 is turned upside down by using this space to be lifted by the turner T from below the heel part 12. It is also possible.
In order to prevent catching with the turner T, the outer peripheral surface of the collar part 12 is formed in a curved surface shape.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a), (c), and (d), the star-shaped frame 20 has an upper and lower surface 21b of the frame body 21 in which the unevenness is repeated periodically in the circumferential direction. It is formed on the corrugated uneven surface 21b.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 2C and 2D, the upper and lower surfaces 21b of the frame body 21 are tapered surfaces 21b tapered in the radial direction (from the inner side to the outer side of the frame body). The angle θ is 5 degrees or more, more preferably 15 degrees or more.
Since the silicone resin is molded in the same manner as the heart-shaped frame 10, it is easy to form the upper and lower surfaces 21b on the concave and convex tapered surfaces 21b as described above.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the star frame 20 is placed on the frying pan P, a wedge-shaped gap that narrows inward from the outside of the frame 21 between the star frame 20 and the frying pan P. S is formed.
The gap S is relatively large because the inclination angle θ of the tapered surface 21b is set as described above.
Therefore, the star frame 20 can be easily turned over in the same manner as described for the heart frame 10.
The operation of the collar 22 is the same as that of the heart-shaped frame 10.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the star-shaped frame 20 is in contact with the frying pan P only at the convex portion of the concave and convex surface 21b, so that the heat conduction is small and the progress of deterioration is suppressed.

In the embodiment, the heart-shaped frame 10 is provided with the recessed portion 11a on the inner peripheral surface of the frame 11, and the star-shaped frame 20 has the upper and lower surfaces 21b of the frame 21 formed on the uneven surface 21b. On the contrary, the upper and lower surfaces 11b of the heart-shaped frame 10 are formed on the uneven surface 11b as shown in FIG. 6, and the recess 21a is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the frame of the star-shaped frame 20 as shown in FIG. Good.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the upper and lower surfaces 11b and 21b of the heart-shaped frame 10 and the star-shaped frame 20 are formed as uneven surfaces 11b and 21b, respectively, and a recess 11a is formed on the inner peripheral surfaces of the frame bodies 11 and 21. 21a may be provided.
Of course, as shown in FIG. 10, the depressions 11a and 21a may not be provided, and the upper and lower surfaces 11b and 21b may be formed flat.

  In the embodiment, the molds 10 and 20 are heart-shaped and star-shaped. However, the shape of the mold is not limited to these, and may be similar to, for example, a flower shape or an animal.

In the case of forming irregularities on the upper and lower surfaces of the mold, the irregularities are not limited to the corrugated irregular surface as in the embodiment. For example, the irregularities may be formed by providing convex portions in the form of lattice points on a flat surface. .
Moreover, when forming a hollow part in the internal peripheral surface of a formwork, it is not restricted to providing over the perimeter of an internal peripheral surface like embodiment, It provides intermittently or two places are provided facing. May be.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be further clarified by giving more detailed examples and comparative examples.
