Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a catering container that improves the preservation of foods that need to be kept cold, and in particular, an effective cold storage container in which a cooling plate with good cold retention is attached inside the storage recess. It concerns the disclosure of catering containers.

Therefore, conventional catering containers are used for catering such as kaiseki cuisine, and from the time of assorting and preparing food ingredients to the time they are eaten at the catered banquet hall, etc., they can accommodate a large number of people. Due to the preparation and the different locations for cooking and serving, fresh food was relatively time-consuming and perishable, especially fresh food.

Furthermore, food such as sashimi absorbs moisture from the container, making it less viable and prone to spoilage, so there is a risk of food poisoning.

Furthermore, when food that has been refrigerated is placed in a container, the temperature rises due to the high temperature of the food placed in the container, and the taste deteriorates.
A large amount of water droplets are generated and the food gets wet, which spoils the texture and appearance.

As mentioned above, catering containers are used to arrange a wide variety of dishes, rather than the usual dishes arranged on individual plates.
It had the disadvantage of poor storage stability.

The present invention was devised especially in view of the inconveniences in the prior art, and one of its main purposes is to eliminate E. coli and other bacteria even if it takes some time from the time the food is packed until it is eaten. This is a highly safe catering container that suppresses the generation of bacteria.

Also, one of the other main purposes of this invention is to
This makes it possible to supply fresh food, especially sashimi, in a cold state without sacrificing its freshness, thereby preventing deterioration in taste.

Furthermore, one of the other main purposes of the present invention is to prevent the formation of water droplets due to condensation of water vapor in the container, thereby reducing the absorption of water in food and the taste caused by condensation.
This is to prevent deterioration of flavor.

Next, one of the other main objects of the present invention is to enable cold storage of desserts in a catering container.

Therefore, the present invention has a plurality of storage recesses, and has a plurality of storage recesses in order to achieve appropriate and purposeful effects of these characteristics. In a catering container having a removable lid and covering the upper part of the storage recess, a cooling plate is attached to the recess for storing food that needs to be kept cold; Considerable design changes are planned in line with the gist of this configuration.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be described with reference to a typical embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a catering container provided with a plurality of storage recesses 1a as appropriate.

2 is a cooling plate in which a cooling liquid 5 is sealed, which is removably placed in the inner bottom of the storage recess 1a, and is made of vinyl chloride polymer and is formed into a hollow shape;
It is filled with a cooling liquid 5 such as water, salt water, etc. Reference numeral 3 denotes a partition wall in the container 1, which separates each storage recess 1a. 4 is a lid of the container 1, each storage recess 1a is sealed by the lid 4, and the upper end surface of the container and the partition wall is the lower surface of the lid 4. It has risen to a level where it is closely related to .

The bottom of the cooling plate 2 is curved inward so that deformation of the plate 2 due to solidification and expansion of the cooling liquid 5 is limited to the bottom.
a, and if this plate 2 is a screen-shaped plate 2', as shown in FIG. It is.

Furthermore, a protrusion 2b or protrusion 2c of an appropriate shape is provided on the upper surface of the plate 2 to provide the effect of draining water.

Next, the material of the catering container in the present invention is as follows:
It is planned to be made of plastic or other resin, wood, or light metal, and those with particularly high insulation properties have been selected. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the container is designed to have a double structure of an outer container 1' and an inner container 1 to provide heat insulation and heat retention.

In addition, the storage recess 1a in the container 1 is shallow for storing aromatics, etc., and deep for storing the plate 2 and rice, so that the storage volume is taken into account. be. In addition to the above-mentioned shape, the plate 2 is also designed to be a serving plate.

Among the characteristic configurations described above, the present invention has a plurality of storage recesses, and has a removable lid fitted over the storage recesses. The deficiencies of the prior art described above can be effectively corrected by attaching a cooling plate to the recessed part for storing foods that need to be kept cold in a catering container whose top is covered. The following specific effects are expected.

That is, in the present invention, a cooling plate 2 that has been frozen in advance is placed on the inner bottom of the storage recess 1a during serving, fresh food such as sashimi is placed on top of the cooling plate 2, and the lid 4 is placed on top of the cooling plate 2.
By performing the operation of sealing the storage recess 1a, the inside of the storage recess 1a is kept cool, and even if it takes time to prepare catering for a large number of people at once, the freshness will not deteriorate. It has the effect of

In addition, the present invention can prevent as much as possible the temperature of fresh foods from rising to a point where they are susceptible to spoilage, and can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria such as Escherichia coli.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the lid 4 and the partition wall 3 prevent the deterioration of the taste and appearance of the food due to water vapor condensing and condensing near the fresh food at a low temperature, which has tended to occur in the past. This could be effectively prevented by the sealing effect.

Next, in the present invention, a curved portion 2a is provided on the lower surface of the plate 2 to absorb expansion due to freezing of the cooling liquid 5, thereby preventing the inconvenience that the plate 2 cannot be fitted into the storage recess due to expansion. It is designed to be preventable.

Furthermore, water droplets due to natural condensation on fresh food such as sashimi stored in the container can be quickly disposed of by providing draining protrusions 2b or 2c on the plate 2, and the moisture in the food can be quickly disposed of. In addition to being able to prevent absorption, such protrusions 2b or 2c
The plate 2 having the above-mentioned shape and the screen-like plate 2 can enhance the decorative effect in arranging fresh food.

Therefore, the cooling plate 2 in the present invention is made of a material such as vinyl chloride that is supplied at a low cost, and the cooling liquid 5 sealed in the hollow portion thereof is a low-cost material such as water or salt water. This makes it possible to supply inexpensive containers.

As stated above, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel and effective refrigerated catering container.
