Description

The present invention relates to a container for impregnating a food material with a seasoning liquid, particularly a container suitable for seasoning a boiled egg.

When seasoning boiled eggs by soaking them at home, a method is used in which the seasoning liquid and the boiled eggs are sealed in a sealed bag made of a resin sheet. In this method, about 400 cc of seasoning liquid is generally required when seasoning four boiled eggs. In addition, since the resin sheet bag does not retain its shape, all the boiled eggs stored are laid on its side during the seasoning process, and a large storage space is required during the seasoning process. In addition, when a boiled egg is half-boiled, deformation of the egg occurs when the eggs are overlapped and loaded.

Regarding the seasoning of boiled eggs, there is an invention of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-152793. The present invention is composed of a container body and a lid, and the container body has an internal space having a height and width larger than the height and width of the boiled egg, respectively. The boiled egg is housed, and the downward protrusion of the lid prevents the boiled egg from floating due to the seasoning liquid.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-152793

In the above invention, since the boiled egg is prevented from floating by the protrusion of the lid, the boiled egg is pushed by the protrusion of the lid to form a recess, and the appearance of the boiled egg is deteriorated. In addition, an unnecessarily large amount of seasoning liquid accumulates in the upper part of the internal space. Then, there is a problem that only one boiled egg can be seasoned in one container.
An object of the present invention is to solve these problems.

The foodstuff seasoning container of the present invention includes a container main body having a plurality of foodstuff storage portions that are partitioned and opened upward, an inner lid that prevents the foodstuff from floating, and an outer lid that covers the container main body. The partition portion that partitions the section of the container body shall allow the seasoning liquid to flow between the adjacent foodstuff storage portions, the inner lid shall have a size and shape that can be charged into the foodstuff storage portion, and the outer lid shall have a size and shape that can be charged into the foodstuff storage portion. The inner lid can be pushed downward, and the foodstuff and the seasoning liquid are put into the foodstuff storage portion so that the foodstuff can be seasoned.

The foodstuff seasoning container of the present invention is suitable for seasoning boiled eggs (including quail eggs), but the foodstuff is not limited to boiled eggs. For example, it can be used to season vegetables such as konjac, burdock and radish. By selecting the seasoning liquid, it can be used for both Japanese-style seasoning and Western-style seasoning such as pickles.

The contour shape of the inner wall of the food storage portion preferably has an arcuate contour for seasoning the boiled egg (claim 2), but is square when the purpose is to season the food other than the boiled egg. It can also be a contour.

It is preferable that the food material storage unit is provided only in the lower part of the food material storage unit (claim 3) to ensure the fluidity of the seasoning liquid. It is also possible to secure the fluidity of the seasoning liquid by forming the partition portion up to the upper part of the food storage portion and providing a hole in the partition portion through which the seasoning liquid flows. Further, the partition portion does not necessarily have to be a wall, and it is sufficient that the foodstuffs are stored while maintaining independence in each foodstuff storage part. You may.

It is preferable that the inner lid is formed by arranging a plurality of convex bowl-shaped bodies in a row corresponding to each food storage portion (claim 4). Then, it is preferable to provide a through hole in the upper part of the bowl-shaped body (claim 5).
If the container body, inner lid, and outer lid are made of transparent or translucent material, the relationship between the seasoning liquid and the foodstuff can be confirmed with the outer lid covered.

The foodstuff seasoning container of the present invention is used by putting foodstuffs and seasoning liquid in a foodstuff storage unit and covering them with an inner lid and an outer lid.
Since the seasoning liquid can flow between the adjacent food storage parts in the food storage unit, it is not necessary to put the seasoning liquid in individual food storage parts, and if the seasoning liquid is injected from one place, the seasoning liquid is evenly distributed to all the food storage parts. Is injected.
Since the inner lid is pushed down by the outer lid, the foodstuff to be floated by buoyancy in the seasoning liquid can be retained in the seasoning liquid, and the upper end portion of the foodstuff can be surely soaked with the seasoning liquid. ..

If the inner wall of the food storage portion has an arcuate contour for holding the boiled egg, the contour of the boiled egg, which is the foodstuff, is held by the arcuate contour, so that the contour of the boiled egg is deformed or scratched. Is not attached.

If the partition of the food storage section is provided only at the lower part of the food storage section, the fluidity of the seasoning liquid between the food storage sections is ensured, and in addition, a convex bowl-shaped body corresponding to each food storage section is provided. It is easy to handle the inner lids that are configured by connecting multiple pieces. Further, when the bowl-shaped body is provided on the inner lid, the seasoning liquid can be guided to the upper end portion of the food material by the surface tension of the seasoning liquid between the lower surface thereof and the outer surface of the boiled egg. Further, if a through hole is provided in the upper part of the bowl-shaped body, the air in the food storage portion can be released.

Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described.

1 to 5 are examples in which two food storage sections are provided, which are suitable for seasoning boiled eggs.
The container body 1, the inner lid 2, and the outer lid 3 constitute the food seasoning container of the present invention.

The container body 1 is provided with two food storage portions 11a and 11b (hereinafter collectively referred to as "food storage portion 11"), and a partition portion is provided below the continuous portion of the two food storage portions. A partition wall 12 is provided, and an open portion 13 is provided above the partition wall 12. The contour shape of the inner wall 14 of the food storage portion 11 is an arc shape.
The size of the food storage portion 11 is such that the diameter of the arc-shaped inner wall is several millimeters larger than the diameter of a general boiled egg, and the depth is slightly deeper than the height of a general boiled egg.
Reference numeral 15 in the figure is a leg for stable placement.

The inner lid 2 is configured by connecting two bowl-shaped bodies 21a and 21b (hereinafter collectively referred to as "bowl-shaped bodies 21") that are convex upward, and each bowl-shaped body 21. A through hole 22 is provided at the top of the.
The diameter of the bowl-shaped body 21 of the inner lid 2 is slightly shorter than the diameter of the upper opening of the food storage portion 11, so that the bowl-shaped body 21 can be charged into the food storage portion 11. be.
Reference numeral 23 in the figure is a knob.

The outer lid 3 has a fitting recess 32 having a contour shape that fits snugly into the opening edge 16 formed by the opening edges of the two food storage portions 11 of the container body 1 on the substrate 31. The fitting recess 32 serves as a guide for the bowl-shaped body 21 of the inner lid 2 at a position corresponding to the two food storage portions 11a and 11b of the container body 1, that is, a position corresponding to the bowl-shaped body of the inner lid. A bowl-shaped portion 33 that is convex upward is formed.

The action and effect will be described based on the above examples.

Boiled eggs 4 are placed in the two food storage portions 11, covered with the inner lid 2, and then the seasoning liquid 5 is injected (the inner lid may be covered after the seasoning liquid is injected). The two food storage portions 11a and 11b are separated by a partition wall 12, but since the upper part of the partition wall 12 is an open portion 13, the seasoning liquid injected from one place fills the two food storage portions. ..
At this time, the amount of the seasoning liquid injected should be such that the upper part of the boiled egg comes into contact with the lower surface of the inner lid slightly pressed down. In addition, in order to use as a guide for the injection amount of the seasoning liquid, it is preferable to display the push-down position of the inner lid as a guide on the food storage portion.

In the injection of the seasoning liquid, since the bowl-shaped body 21 of the inner lid is provided with the through hole 22, the air above the food storage portion 11 is discharged from the through hole 22. Further, since the lower surface of the bowl-shaped body 21 and the boiled egg 4 are in close contact with each other, surface tension is generated. Therefore, even if the lower surface of the bowl-shaped body 21 and the upper end of the boiled egg 4 are in close contact with each other, the upper end of the boiled egg comes into contact with the seasoning liquid.

Next, the outer lid 3 is attached. When the outer lid 3 is attached, the inner lid 1 is pushed down by the bowl-shaped portion 33 of the outer lid 3, so that the boiled egg 4 is prevented from floating, and the state of being immersed in the seasoning liquid up to the upper end of the boiled egg 4 is maintained. ..

When taking out the boiled egg, the outer lid 3 and the inner lid 2 are removed, but if the seasoning liquid is discharged while pressing the inner lid 2 with a finger before removing the inner lid 2, the boiled egg can be easily taken out. It is also convenient for reusing seasoning liquid. In addition, since there is no partition wall above the food storage section, it is easy to insert chopsticks and fingers, and it is easy to take out boiled eggs.

The container body 1 is provided with food storage portions 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d provided with a circular inner wall 4, a partition wall 12 is provided between adjacent food storage portions, and an intersection of the respective partition walls 12 is provided. A partition pillar 17 is provided in the. The four surfaces 17a of the partition pillar 17 facing the food storage portion have a concave arc shape in a plan view so as to correspond to the shape of the boiled egg.

The inner lid 2 has four bowl-shaped bodies 21a, 21b, 21c, and 21d connected in series, and on the upper surface of the bowl-shaped body, a wall 24 connecting the adjacent bowl-shaped bodies 24 (although it has a plane arc shape in the figure). , Regardless of shape.) Is provided. The wall 24 prevents the seasoning liquid from entering the upper surface of the inner lid when the seasoning liquid is injected.

The outer lid 3 has a concavo-convex shape corresponding to the container body and the inner lid, and is the same as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 8 shows a plan view of the inner wall of the food storage portion 11 of the container body 1.

The partition wall 12 of the container body 1 reaches the upper edge of the food storage portion 11. The inner lid 2 has a configuration in which four square plates 26 are connected by a continuous portion 27, and the continuous portion 27 has an inverted U shape. A groove 12a into which the continuous portion 27 of the inner lid 2 is fitted is provided on the upper edge of the partition wall 12. The partition wall 12 is provided with a plurality of holes 12b through which the seasoning liquid passes.
The outer lid 3 is provided with a square bottom surface 34 and a peripheral wall 35 corresponding to the planar shape of the section of the food storage portion 11 of the container body 1, and is located at a position corresponding to the continuous portion 27 of the inner lid 2 of the peripheral wall 35.
