Description

The present invention relates to baumkuchen and a method for producing the same.

Various cakes can be divided into small portions by cutting with a knife or shredding by hand. However, when the cake is divided into small pieces, it is difficult to break the cake cleanly by hand without using a knife. If the cake can be broken cleanly by hand, it can be divided into small portions and eaten little by little, making it easier for women and children to eat.

Patent Literature 1 describes a waffle that is shredded by hand so that it can be eaten easily. This waffle is a sandwich of jam and flour paste, and is produced by the following steps.

First, make the waffle dough and roll it into a plate. Next, jam and flour paste are sandwiched between the flattened pieces. Then, the resulting plate-like dough is cut into a suitable size, placed between male and female molds, closed and baked to produce waffles. Here, the cut dough before baking has a thin thick part formed by a V-shaped cut and a plurality of parts having unevenness interconnected via the thin thick part by closed male and female molds. is molded.

In the waffle thus produced, a plurality of parts are connected via the thin thick part, so that each part can be eaten by shredding the thin thick part by hand.

Japanese Patent No. 3916107

The waffles described in Patent Literature 1 are produced by molding dough before baking with a mold. Baumkuchen, on the other hand, cannot use a mold because of its manufacturing method. Baumkuchen is made by pouring a small amount of batter onto the surface of the stick that serves as the core and baking it with a burner to form a thin layer with a charred surface. is formed in multiple layers, and after firing, the core is removed and sliced into round slices.

That is, the technique described in Patent Document 1 cannot be applied to Baumkuchen manufactured without using a mold. For this reason, it is not easy to come up with the idea of devising ways to make the Baumkuchen easier to shred by hand.

In view of such problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a Baumkuchen that can be neatly broken by hand into small portions, and a method for producing the same.

The inventors of the present invention have made extensive studies on a configuration in which Baumkuchen manufactured without using a mold can be neatly broken by hand into small portions, and as a result, they decided to make undivided cuts in Baumkuchen after baking. I thought of it.

That is, in order to solve the above problems, a representative structure of the Baumkuchen according to the present invention is characterized in that a notch is provided for manual division.

In the above configuration, since the Baumkuchen is notched, the Baumkuchen can be broken cleanly by hand into small portions and eaten little by little, making it easier for women and children to eat. On the other hand, men and people with large mouths can also enjoy filling their mouths by eating the baumkuchen without breaking it. As a result, the degree of freedom in how to eat can be increased. The Baumkuchen may be cut into round pieces with the core removed after baking, or may be cut into pieces with the holes further cut.

The cuts are preferably linear cuts made by a blade of the thin plate. In this way, since the cuts for dividing the Baumkuchen by hand are linear cuts, the grooves are thin, and the appearance does not deteriorate and the commercial value is not impaired. Since Baumkuchen is manufactured without using a mold, this groove is not a mold-transferred groove, but a thin plate blade that is processed after baking.

It is preferable that the cuts are made in a direction perpendicular to the layer of Baumkuchen. As a result, the cuts in the Baumkuchen are made in a direction perpendicular to the layers formed concentrically with respect to the hole, that is, along the direction (radial direction) that takes the shortest distance from the outer periphery to the hole. . By making such cuts, the Baumkuchen can be broken cleanly and reliably by hand.

The depth of the cut is preferably 10% to 80% of the thickness of the entire Baumkuchen. Here, when the depth of the incision was set to 10% or more of the thickness of the entire Baumkuchen, the Baumkuchen could be split cleanly by hand. In the case of less than 10%, the Baumkuchen could not be split cleanly by hand. Also, when the depth of the notch was set to 80% or less of the thickness of the entire Baumkuchen, it did not collapse during transportation. When it exceeded 80%, the Baumkuchen collapsed during the transportation test. That is, by setting the depth of the notch to 10% to 80% of the thickness of the entire Baumkuchen as in the above configuration, the Baumkuchen can be broken cleanly by hand and can be prevented from collapsing during transportation.

In order to solve the above problems, a representative configuration of the method for producing Baumkuchen according to the present invention is the method for producing Baumkuchen described above, in which the baked Baumkuchen is divided into pieces. and the undivided incision for dividing the piece by hand are performed simultaneously by push-cutting.

The constituent elements corresponding to the technical concept of the Baumkuchen described above and their explanations are also applicable to the method for producing the Baumkuchen. Here, the baked Baumkuchen is in a state in which the core is removed and sliced into round slices, which is a so-called whole. In other words, according to the above configuration, the pieces can be manufactured by dividing the holes of the Baumkuchen after baking, and at the same time, the pieces can be cut into pieces for dividing by hand. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently produce pieces that can be divided cleanly by hand from the Baumkuchen whole.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the Baumkuchen which can be split finely by hand and can be subdivided, and its manufacturing method can be provided.

In the present specification and drawings, elements having substantially the same function and configuration are given the same reference numerals to omit redundant description, and elements that are not directly related to the present invention are omitted from the drawings. do.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a Baumkuchen 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a method for manufacturing Baumkuchen 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The Baumkuchen 100 shown in FIG. 1(a) is a piece obtained by further cutting so-called holes. The Baumkuchen 102 shown in FIG. 2(a) is a hole and is manufactured by the following steps. First, a small amount of batter is applied to the surface of the core stick and baked with a burner to form a thin layer with a charred surface. Next, this process is repeated to form a plurality of thin layers, and after firing, the core is removed and sliced into round slices. In this way, Hall's Baumkuchen 102 is manufactured.

Baumkuchen 102 has a hole 104 and a plurality of layers 106 concentrically formed with respect to the hole 104 , since the Baumkuchen 102 is in a state in which the core is removed and sliced after baking. This Baumkuchen 102 is cut by a divider 108 as shown in FIG. 2(b) to produce a piece of Baumkuchen 100 (see FIG. 1(a)).

As shown in FIG. 2A, the splitter 108 includes a cylindrical shaft portion 110, an annular frame portion 112, and a plurality of thin plates 114 and 116, respectively. The thin plates 114 and the thin plates 116 are arranged alternately. A plurality of thin plates 114 and 116 are blades extending radially from one end 118 of the shaft 110 facing the Baumkuchen 102 of the hall toward the frame 112 and connecting the one end 118 and the frame 112 .

The thin plate 114 is a vertically long blade that reaches the tip 120 of the shaft portion 110 and the lower end 122 of the frame portion 112, as shown in FIG. 2(a). On the other hand, the thin plate 116 is a blade that does not reach the tip 120 of the shaft portion 110 and the lower end 122 of the frame portion 112 and is vertically shorter than the thin plate 114 .

The other end portion 124 of the shaft portion 110 is connected to an arm (not shown). The divider 108 approaches the hall's Baumkuchen 102 as the arm moves, and cuts through the Baumkuchen 102 as shown in FIG. 2(b).

As shown in FIG. 2(b), the divider 108 is aligned to insert one end 118 of the shank 110 into the hole 104 of the baumkuchen 102 when pushing through the baumkuchen 102, and further inserts the thin plates 114, 116 into the baumkuchen. Press against 102.

By such force cutting of the splitter 108, the Baumkuchen 102 is split by the thin plate 114, which is a long blade, into the Baumkuchen 100, which are six pieces. In the drawing, only one piece is represented by a reference numeral. Here, the piece Baumkuchen 100 has ends 126 , 128 formed by being cut by two thin plates 114 .

Further, the splitter 108 cuts the Baumkuchen 102 into pieces during push-cutting, and at the same time, cuts 130 into undivided pieces 130 of the Baumkuchen 100 with a thin plate 116 that is a short blade. This cut 130 is a linear cut made by a short blade of the thin plate 116, as representatively shown in FIG. 2(b).

The Baumkuchen 100 is a piece having both ends 126 and 128, as shown in FIG. 1(a), and the slit 130 is linear, so that the groove is thin. Therefore, the Baumkuchen 100 does not look bad and its commercial value is not impaired. Since the Baumkuchen 100 and 102 are manufactured without using a mold, the grooves are formed by a thin plate 116, which is a short blade, as processing after baking, rather than by transferring a mold.

In addition, the cuts 130 of the Baumkuchen 100 are formed in a direction perpendicular to the layers 106 formed concentrically with the hole 104, that is, along the direction (radial direction) that takes the shortest distance from the outer periphery 132 toward the hole 104. It has been subjected.

By providing such a notch 130, the Baumkuchen 100 can be neatly and reliably broken by hands 134, 136 as shown in FIG. 1(b). That is, the Baumkuchen 100 is subdivided into two small pieces 138, 140 along the slit 130, and the cracks 142, 144 of the small pieces 138, 140 are flattened.

Therefore, since the baumkuchen 100 is provided with the notches 130, the baumkuchen 100 can be neatly broken by hands 134, 136 into small portions and eaten little by little, making it easier for women and children to eat. On the other hand, men and people with large mouths can also enjoy filling their mouths by eating baumkuchen 100 without breaking it. As a result, the degree of freedom in how to eat can be increased.

By using the splitter 108, the whole Baumkuchen 102 can be split to produce the piece Baumkuchen 100, and at the same time, the piece Baumkuchen 100 can be cut 130 for splitting by hand 134, 136. Therefore, from the whole Baumkuchen 102, the piece Baumkuchen 100, which can be neatly split by hands 134, 136 into small portions, can be efficiently manufactured.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the Baumkuchen 100 of FIG. 1(a) is individually packaged. The Baumkuchen 100 is provided with a notch 130 for being divided by hands 134, 136, and further put into an individual packaging bag 146 and individually packaged to be a commercial product. The individually wrapped pieces of Baumkuchen 100 may be transported in a cardboard box. If the Baumkuchen 100 collapses during such transportation, the product value is lost.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have focused on the fact that the notch 130 of the Baumkuchen 100 should not only be neatly split by hands 134 and 136 into smaller portions, but should also not collapse during transportation. Then, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 3, the depth La of the notch 130 with respect to the thickness L of the Baumkuchen 100 was examined. Note that Lb shown in FIG. 3 is the depth left by the cut 130, that is, the thickness of the part of the Baumkuchen 100 to which the cut 130 has not reached.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the result of examining the depth La of the cut 130 for neatly splitting the Baumkuchen 100 of FIG. In FIG. 4A, for the Baumkuchen 100 with a thickness L of 20 mm and 50 mm, the "depth La of the cut 130" is 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm. and the ratio of depth La to . The results were evaluated as "◯" when the sample was broken cleanly by hands 134 and 136, "Δ" when the sample was split cleanly or not, and "X" when the sample was not cleanly split.

FIG. 4(b) is a photograph showing the results for each depth La of the cut 130 for the Baumkuchen 100 having a thickness L of 20 mm. As shown in FIG. 4(b), when the cut 130 was 0 mm, that is, when the cut 130 was not provided, the cut was not cleanly split. In addition, when the cut 130 was 1 mm, the Baumkuchen 100 was not split cleanly, and the result was "x" as shown in FIG. 4(a). On the other hand, when the slit 130 was 2 mm and 3 mm, the Baumkuchen 100 was broken cleanly, and the result was "O".

In other words, it was found that the Baumkuchen 100 with a thickness L of 20 mm can be neatly broken by hands 134 and 136 if the depth La of the cut 130 is 2 mm or more, that is, if the ratio is "10.0%" or more.

FIG. 4(c) is a photograph showing the results for each depth La of the cut 130 for the Baumkuchen 100 having a thickness L of 50 mm. As shown in FIG. 4(c), when the notch 130 was 0 mm, it was not split cleanly. Although not shown in FIG. 4(c), the Baumkuchen 100 was not cleanly cracked even when the slit 130 was 1 mm or 2 mm, and the result was "x" as shown in FIG. 4(a).

Also, as shown in FIG. 4(c), when the cut 130 was 3 mm, the sample cracked cleanly or did not, so the result was "B". On the other hand, when the slit 130 was 4 mm and 5 mm, the Baumkuchen 100 was broken cleanly, and the result was "O".

In other words, it was found that the Baumkuchen 100 with a thickness L of 50 mm can be neatly broken by hands 134 and 136 if the depth La of the notch 130 is 4 mm or more, that is, if the ratio is 8.0% or more.

Thus, from the results of FIG. 4( a ), the depth La of the cut 130 for the Baumkuchen 100 to break cleanly with hands 134 and 136 is "10.0%" or more of the thickness L of the Baumkuchen 100. understood.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the results of examination of the depth La of the notch for preventing the individually wrapped Baumkuchen 100 of FIG. 3 from collapsing during transportation. Here, as a transportation test, individually wrapped Baumkuchen 100 was placed in a cardboard box, and the cardboard box was dropped three times from a height (110 cm) assumed to be the waist height of a person.

In FIG. 5A, for Baumkuchen 100 with a thickness L of 20 mm and 50 mm, the "depth Lb left by the cut 130" is 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm. and the ratio of depth Lb to . The results were evaluated as "○" when the product did not collapse in the transportation test, "△" when it crumbled or did not crumble, and "X" when it crumbled.

FIG. 5(b) is a photograph showing the results for each depth Lb of the cut 130 left on the Baumkuchen 100 having a thickness L of 20 mm. As shown in FIG. 5(b), when the depth of the notches 130 was 2 mm, the Baumkuchen 100 collapsed and the result was "x" as shown in FIG. 5(a).

Also, when the depth of the notch 130 was 3 mm, it collapsed or did not crumble, so the result was "Δ". On the other hand, when the depth left by the cut 130 was 4 mm, the Baumkuchen 100 did not crumble, so the result was "O".

In other words, it was found that the Baumkuchen 100 with a thickness L of 20 mm does not collapse during transportation if the depth Lb left by the notch 130 is 4 mm or more, that is, if the ratio is 20.0% or more. Here, the ratio of the depth Lb left by the notch 130 is "20.0%" or more means that the ratio of the depth La of the notch 130 is "80%" or less.

FIG. 5(c) is a photograph showing the results for each depth Lb of the cut 130 left on the Baumkuchen 100 having a thickness L of 50 mm. As shown in FIG. 5(c), when the depth of the notches 130 was 3 mm, the Baumkuchen 100 collapsed, and the result was "x" as shown in FIG. 5(a). Although not shown in FIG. 5(c), the Baumkuchen 100 collapsed even when the depth of the notch 130 was 2 mm, and the result was "x" as shown in FIG. 5(a). rice field.

In addition, when the depth of the notch 130 was 4 mm, it collapsed or did not crumble, so the result was "Δ". On the other hand, when the depth left by the cut 130 was 5 mm, the Baumkuchen 100 did not crumble, so the result was "◯".

In other words, it was found that the Baumkuchen 100 with a thickness L of 50 mm does not collapse during transportation if the depth Lb left by the notch 130 is 5 mm or more, that is, if the ratio is 10.0% or more. Here, the ratio of the depth Lb left by the notch 130 is "10.0%" or more means that the ratio of the depth La of the notch 130 is "90%" or less.

Thus, from the result of FIG. 5(a), it is understood that the depth La of the cut 130 for preventing the Baumkuchen 100 from collapsing during transportation is "80.0%" or less of the thickness L of the Baumkuchen 100. .

Therefore, in the Baumkuchen 100, by setting the depth La of the notch 130 to a ratio of "10% to 80%" with respect to the thickness L of the Baumkuchen 100, the Baumkuchen 100 can be neatly broken with hands 134 and 136. Furthermore, it can be prevented from collapsing during transportation.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a Baumkuchen 102A and a method for manufacturing the same according to another embodiment of the present invention. Here, the Whole Baumkuchen 102A is manufactured from the Whole Baumkuchen 102 by force cutting of the divider 108A shown in FIG. 6(a).

Divider 108A differs from divider 108 described above in that all blades connecting one end 118 of shaft 110 and frame 112 are thin plates 116 . In FIG. 6(a), only one symbol is attached to the thin plate 116 as a representative. As described above, the thin plate 116 is a blade that does not reach the tip 120 of the shaft portion 110 and the lower end 122 of the frame portion 112 and is vertically shorter than the thin plate 114 .

By such force-cutting of the divider 108A, the undivided cuts 130 are applied to the Baumkuchen 102 by the thin plates 116, which are short blades. In this way, the Whole Baumkuchen 102A having a plurality of (here, 12) cuts 130 can be manufactured from the Whole Baumkuchen 102. FIG.

Also, the cut 130 of the Baumkuchen 102A is a linear cut made by a short blade of the thin plate 116, which is represented by only one reference numeral in FIG. 6(b). In this way, since the notch 130 is linear, the groove becomes thin, and the appearance is not deteriorated, and the commercial value is not impaired.

Furthermore, the cuts 130 are made in a direction orthogonal to the layers 106 , ie, along a radial direction from the outer periphery 132 toward the holes 104 . By providing such a notch 130, the Baumkuchen 102A can be broken cleanly and reliably with hands 134 and 136.例文帳に追加

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is obvious that a person skilled in the art can conceive of various modifications or modifications within the scope described in the claims, and these also belong to the technical scope of the present invention.
