SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION For the above purpose,
Even if a dish-shaped fried product is made by a conventional method, it has a low oil content and tends to be scorched even when placed on a frying pan or the like.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to produce a dish-shaped fried food, first, when it is fried in a high-temperature oil like a normal fried food, it is heated at about 180 ° C. to produce small amounts of steam in the dough. A cavity is formed, but if it is immediately immersed in oil at about 80 ° C., the water vapor condenses, the volume decreases, and the small cavity does not become so small, the surrounding oil is sucked and contains a large amount of oil. Fried food is obtained.

Next, this operation will be described. The piston 5 descends at a constant speed, and the flour paste 3 in the cylinder 2 is extruded from the slit on the bottom of the cylinder 2 as a flour paste belt 5 at a speed of about 10 cm per second, and is fed by the rotation of the rollers 7 and 8. While riding on the belt 9 and moving to the right, it is fried with heated cooking oil at about 180 ° C for several tens of seconds to become a normal fried food, but as it approaches the right end, the oil temperature becomes about 80 ° C. Although many small cavities formed by the water vapor generated at the time hardly shrink, the water vapor condenses, the volume becomes close to one thousandth, the inside of the cavity becomes negative pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, Is sucked into the cavity, and a fried belt containing a large amount of oil is formed. At this time, the lower the oil temperature of the low temperature part, the faster the dough of the fried food is hardened and the large number of small cavities are prevented from shrinking well, but if it is applied to low temperature oil, the sterilizing effect will be weakened Therefore, around 80 ° C. is practically good.

[0007] The right end of the fried food belt 5 is firstly pulled up from the oil tank 6 by human power and passed from above between the rollers 10 and 11 rotating inward. Thereafter, the right end of the belt 5 is automatically moved at a speed of about 10 cm per second. Is sent down.
Each time the fried food belt 5 moves down by 80 mm, the cutters 12 and 13 pinch close to each other, and the fried food belt 5 is cut into 80 mm square fried pieces.

Plastic film belt for packaging 14,
15 is passed between the heating rollers 16 and 17 and sent downward, but a fried piece is sandwiched between the two films, and the periphery thereof is pressed by the heating roller, so that a rectangular fused portion is formed, and the fried piece is formed. It will be enclosed. The flat film belts 14 and 15 enclosing the fried pieces pass between the forming heating rollers 20 and 21 and are formed into a dish shape together with the inner fried pieces as shown in FIG.
At 25, the middle of the fusion zone in the front-rear direction is cut, and the slide 26
It slides down and accumulates in the storage container 27.

[0009] Although not shown, when about 10 pieces are accumulated in the container 27, an automatic device operates to collectively enclose them in one packaging bag to obtain a finished product. At the time of use, open the packaging bag, take out one of them, cut the surrounding three sides with scissors or the like, open the films 14 and 15, take out the inside dish-shaped fried food piece 28, break the chicken egg into it Pour it into a heated frying pan, in an oven, in a steamer, etc., bake or steam, cook the eggs, take them out, put them on a dish, and eat a little salt and soy sauce.

Since the fried food pieces 28 are originally seasoned, they can be eaten together with the chicken eggs. When heating in a frying pan or the like, a large amount of oil that has permeated into the fried pieces 28 exudes, exhibits a releasing effect, and there is no need to draw the oil into the frying pan or the like. In addition, the fried food pieces 28 contain oil and seasonings, and if eaten with chicken eggs, a unique taste will be created.

The above embodiment can be modified in various ways. The outline is described below. In order to make it easy to open the fused portion around the fried piece 28, the portion to be welded very weakly, sparsely fused, or only to bend the edges of the films 14 and 15 or to be fused. May be weakly adhered with an adhesive or the like. In that case, nitrogen gas is filled in a bag in which 10 are put together, and the bag is tightly sealed to withstand long-term storage.

Rollers 7, 8 and wire mesh belt 9 in oil tank 6
The oil heated at about 180 ° C. may be pumped in from the left and right sides of the oil tank 6, the oil may be sucked into the suction side of the pump from the right end of the oil tank 6, and the frying belt 5 may be sent rightward. In order to allow a large amount of surrounding oil to be sucked into the fry belt 5, a metal plate channel for cooling the right side of the oil tank 6 and guiding the fry belt 5 pulled up from the right end of the oil tank onto the roller 10 is provided. A channel may be provided to cool the channel so that oil adhering around the frying belt is sucked into the inside. Alternatively, the fried food belt coming out of the high-temperature oil tank 6 may be passed through another oil tank at about 80 ° C. and fed between the rollers 10 and 11.

[0013] Wheat paste 3 contains chicken eggs, potato flour,
Blue glue and other ingredients that can be solidified by heating, curry powder, sugar, other spices and seasonings can be added as appropriate, so that it is suitable for making eggs, okonomiyaki, hot cakes, etc. Can be. Rollers 10 and 11 are provided with the same irregularities as rollers 20 and 21 and
Is deformed into a dish shape and sent downward, the roller 16 is provided with a protrusion that matches the recess 22 of the roller 20, the roller 17 is provided with a recess that matches the protrusion 23 of the roller 21, and the distance between the rollers 16, 17 is provided. A little, and lower both rollers, contact the rollers 20, 21 and pass the films 14, 15 from the outside between the rollers 16 and 20, and between the rollers 17 and 21, and form a dish-shaped It is also possible to form a recess, sandwich the dish-shaped fried food pieces falling from above between the two films, and fuse and seal the surrounding films 14, 15 with the rollers 20, 21.

The flour paste belt coming out of the cylinder 2 is first passed between cooling molds having concavities and convexities such as the rollers 20 and 21 to form a belt having many dish-shaped dents, and a wire mesh moving rightward on a gas burner. It may be placed on a belt, baked to some extent so as not to be deformed, and then put in the oil tank 6. In order to make it easy to take out the fried pieces 28 enclosed in the films 14 and 15, instead of fusing it, it is desirable to apply an adhesive and weakly adhere, but in advance, the adhesive is applied to the films 14 and 15 in advance. Even if the adhesive is applied, oil or the like coming out of the fried pieces cut by the cutters 12 and 13 adheres to the adhesive, and the adhesive strength of the adhesive is often lost. Therefore, 8
A 0 mm square fried food take-out window is opened at a pitch of 100 mm, and a 90 mm square plastic film window cover with an adhesive is attached to the right side of the window.
After fried food pieces are sandwiched between them, they are fused in a range outside of the 90 mm square film and formed into a dish shape. Good), cut, get the product, and when opening, remove the 90mm square window cover and take out the aseptically sealed fried pieces from the large window with little oil on your hands. It may be obtained. Such a packaging method can be applied to the packaging of other items.

On the right side of the continuous film 15 with a window, an adhesive is applied leaving a margin of about 5 mm on the front and rear sides, and a silicone resin or the like for preventing fusion is applied on the margin, and the film 15 is applied on the right side thereof. A narrow continuous plastic film having a width of about 4 mm from the front and rear width may be adhered, fused to the film 14 with the fried pieces interposed, and cut with the cutters 24 and 25. A nail is inserted between the film 15 and the edge of the film attached thereto, and the piece of film attached to the adhesive can be easily peeled off.

Since the fried pieces cut by the cutters 12 and 13 are still plastic, they are sandwiched between molds for forming hexagonal, circular, and other shapes into a flat plate or a dish shape, and after molding. , May be sent downward. The various sizes exemplified above can be arbitrarily changed. Various other design changes are possible.

[0017]

According to the present invention, an edible baked mold for cooking with a large amount of oil, which has a very low possibility of scorching even when placed directly on a frying pan, is stored. Further, effects such as obtaining a packaging bag which can be easily opened are obtained.
