JP 2006-34665 A

  However, when cooking instant noodles in a microwave oven, if a conventional microwave oven container is used, the noodles will rise when water and noodles are placed in the vessel, and the microwave oven heats the upper side of the noodles. This causes a problem that the entire noodle cannot absorb moisture sufficiently because only the lower side of the noodle absorbs moisture.

Accordingly, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a microwave oven container that can spread moisture throughout the noodles when cooking instant noodles in a microwave oven, and can easily cut hot water. And its use.

The microwave oven container of the present invention is a microwave oven container comprising an outer container, an inner container placed inside the outer container, and a lid, wherein the noodle placed in the container on the lid is pressed from above. A presser part for preventing the water from rising is provided, a plurality of holes for hot water cutting are provided on the bottom surface of the inner container, and the lid is detachably fixed to the outer container.

And it is preferable to raise the center part of the bottom of the said inner container, and to provide a space | gap between the bottom of the said outer container, and the bottom of the said inner container.

The microwave oven container of the present invention is a microwave oven container comprising an outer container, an inner container placed inside the outer container, and a lid, wherein the noodle placed in the container on the lid is pressed from above. The noodles are uniformly provided by providing a pressing part for preventing the lifting of the water, providing a plurality of holes for hot water cutting on the bottom surface of the inner container, and detachably fixing the lid to the outer container. It becomes possible to add moisture to the noodles and improve the texture of the noodles.

Then, by raising the central portion of the bottom of the inner container and providing a gap between the bottom of the outer container and the bottom of the inner container, convection occurs on the lower side of the noodle when the water boils, and the noodle The effect of unraveling is produced, and it becomes possible to cook noodles more effectively.

  The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the microwave oven container 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of each part alone.

  A microwave oven container 1 of the present invention is a container for cooking instant noodles (yakisoba pasta, etc.) in a microwave oven, as shown in FIG. It is composed of an inner container 3 to be put in and a lid 4.

The lid 4 is provided with a pressing rib 5 as a pressing portion for pressing the noodle 7 placed in the microwave container 1 from above and preventing the noodle 7 from floating during cooking. The lid 4 can be detachably fixed to the outer container 2.

The shape of the pressing rib 5 is not particularly limited as long as the noodle 7 can be pressed from above. The shape of the pressing rib 5 is cylindrical, rectangular or the like, and the noodle 7 is placed in the microwave oven container 1 of the present invention. When the lid 4 is inserted and fixed to the outer container 2, the rib 5 only has to be high enough to be positioned above the noodle 7 with some space.

By providing such pressing ribs 5, it is possible to prevent the noodles 7 from floating on the water surface when water and the noodles 7 are put into the microwave oven container 1.

The bottom of the inner container 3 is provided with a plurality of holes 6 for performing hot water cutting as shown in FIG. Further, the central portion of the bottom of the container 3 is raised.

By providing the hot water cutting hole 6, it is possible to perform hot water cutting by taking out the noodle 7 in the inner container 3.

  Moreover, several structures can be used for the fixing means for the outer container 2 and the lid 4. First, fixing means for rotating the lid 4 and fixing it to the outer container 2 will be described.

  Above the outer peripheral portion of the outer container 2, the outer periphery as shown in FIG. Further, ribs 9 as shown in FIG. The rib 9 is fitted and fixed by slightly rotating the lid 4 in a place surrounded by the rib 8. By using such fixing means, the noodles 7 can be reliably pressed by the pressing ribs 5 of the lid 4.

  It is also possible to use the undercut 10 as another fixing means. As shown in FIG. 6, an undercut 10 is provided at the edge of the lid 4, and a hole 11 for inserting the undercut 10 is provided at the edge of the outer container 2. Since the undercut 10 has a shape in which a bulge is provided in the middle, when the undercut 10 is inserted into the hole 11, the bulge prevents the undercut 10 from easily coming out of the hole 11. Then, the lid 4 is detachably fixed to the outer container 2.

When the lid 4 is fixed using the fixing means as described above, the inner container 3 may be fixed at the same time. As shown in FIG. 4, a collar 12 is provided on the outer periphery of the lid 4, a collar 13 is provided on the outer periphery of the inner container 3, and a collar 14 is provided on the outer periphery of the outer container 2. When the inner container 3 is put inside the outer container 2, the collar 13 is overlaid on the collar 14 of the outer container 2.

Then, when the lid 4 is covered and fixed to the outer container 2, the collar 13 provided on the lid 4 overlaps the collar 10 of the inner container 3. Thereby, the collar 13 of the inner container 3 is sandwiched and fixed between the collar 14 of the outer container 2 and the collar 12 of the lid 4. In this way, the backlash of the inner container 3 is suppressed and the usability is improved.

Although it does not specifically limit about the material of the container 1 for microwave ovens of this invention, In order to use it with a microwave oven, it is preferable to use heat resistant PP. Moreover, since the container 1 for microwave ovens of this invention can also be used repeatedly, it is preferable to use the material which not only has the above heat resistance but has predetermined durability. Further, the planar shape is not particularly limited, and may be a circle or a rectangle.

The usage method of the container 1 for microwave ovens of this invention is demonstrated using FIG. First, the inner container 3 is set inside the outer container 2. Then, noodles 7 are placed on the bottom of the inner container 3, and water is put into the microwave container 1 (see FIG. 7A).

When the noodle 7 and water are added, the lid 4 is fixed to the outer container 2. At this time, the noodle 7 tends to float when water is added. However, as shown in FIG. 7B, the noodle 7 is pressed from above by the pressing rib 5 provided on the lid 4 to prevent the lifting. ing. In this state, the microwave oven container 1 is placed in a microwave oven and heated at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time.

At this time, since the bottom of the inner container 3 is raised as shown in the figure, a gap is generated between the bottom of the inner container 3 and the bottom of the outer container 2. Therefore, when water in the microwave oven container 1 boils, convection occurs, and the convection acts to push up the noodle 7 from below through the gap, so that moisture is evenly absorbed by the noodle 7 and more texture is obtained. A good finish.

When the heating by the microwave oven is completed, the above-mentioned microwave oven container 1 is taken out from the microwave oven. Then, the noodle 7 is drained. For that purpose, first, the lid 4 is removed from the outer container 2, and then the inner container 3 on which the noodles 7 are placed is taken out from the outer container 3, and the inner container 3 is drained as shown in FIG. 8 (a). The hot water is cut off using the holes 6 for use.

Then, the hot water in the outer container 2 is discarded in order to put the noodles 7 in the outer container 2. As shown in FIG. 8 (b), when the noodle 7 is put in the empty outer container 2 and the sauce 15 and the kaki 16 are sprinkled on the noodle 7, the cooking of the instant noodle 7 is completed.

Here, the outer container 2 is used as a vessel, but it is also possible to transfer the noodles 7 to another plate after hot water is cut and sprinkle with sauce or crisp.

The case of cooking noodles that require hot water cutting such as fried noodles has been described so far, but the microwave oven container 1 of the present invention can also be used for noodles such as ramen that do not require hot water cutting.

For example, in the case of ramen, after the heating in the microwave oven is finished, the inner container 3 is taken out, lightly drained on the outer container 2, and the noodle 7 remaining in the inner container 3 is put in hot water. When the kana or soup is put in the outer container 2 after that, the cooking of the instant noodles 7 is completed.

In the case of such noodles that do not require hot water cutting, it is possible to use only the outer container 2 and the lid 4 without using the inner container 3.

  Thus, when the microwave oven container 1 of the present invention cooks various noodles in a microwave oven, the noodles can absorb water more effectively, and noodles with better texture can be obtained. .
