Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a food product in a container, such as curry rice or a bowl, which is cooked by a microwave oven.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as an example of this type of container food for microwave oven cooking, there is one shown in FIG. The conventional food packaged for microwave oven cooking shown in FIG. 4 is constructed by dividing a single microwave oven resistant container 101 into two chambers by a vertical partition wall 102, and cooking rice in one of the compartments. On the other hand, the container A is accommodated, while the other chamber is accommodated with the additive food B such as curry, and the upper opening of the container 101 is sealed with a plastic film 117. Then, the food in a container for microwave oven cooking is stored in a frozen state in a frozen state, and cooked and eaten in a microwave oven at the time of eating. In addition, in curry rice or bowls, cooked rice A and supplemented food B such as curry can be eaten more deliciously if cooked food B has a higher temperature than cooked rice A, and the temperature of cooked rice A becomes higher. If it passes, it will be hot and difficult to eat.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional packaged food for microwave oven cooking shown in FIG. 4 contains cooked rice A and additive food B such as curry in a single microwave oven container 101, which is heated in a microwave oven. When cooking, each food in the container 101 (cooked rice A and supplementary food B such as curry) is heated from its outer portion Aa, Ba. Therefore, although the outer portions of the foods A and B in the container are heated to a desired temperature in a relatively short time, it takes a long time to pass the heat to the central portions of the foods A and B. Then there is the problem. In addition, if the heat is sufficiently transmitted to the central portions of the foods A and B, there is a problem that the outer portions of the food become too hot and the taste becomes bad, and the food becomes too hot and difficult to eat. In particular, it is desirable that the heating temperature of the additive food B such as curry is higher than the heating temperature of the cooked rice A in terms of the taste. Therefore, when the heating temperature is adjusted to the desired temperature of the cooked rice A, the additive food B is not heated to a sufficient temperature, and when the heating temperature is adjusted to the desired temperature of the additive food B, the cooked rice A becomes too hot. The problem of becoming difficult to eat arises.

In view of the problems of the conventional food packaged in a container for microwave oven cooking, the present invention improves the heating efficiency when cooked in a microwave oven and heats for the same time. However, it is an object of the present invention to provide a container-packaged food for microwave oven cooking in which an added food such as curry or rice bowl ingredients is heated to a higher temperature than cooked rice.

[0005]

[Means for achieving the purpose]

 According to the present invention, a container containing additive food such as curry or a bowl material is stored in another container on top of a container containing rice in one container. In addition, it is characterized in that a space portion which is recessed upward is formed in the central portion of the bottom portion of the additive food container.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the packaged food of the present invention, since a space is formed by recessing upwards at the center of the bottom of the polymerized additive food container on the top of the cooked rice container. The above-mentioned space is formed in the central part, so that the food is heated not only from the outer part of the food in a container but also from the space when cooked by a microwave oven. Therefore, even when the container with added food is stacked on the container with cooked rice, on the container side with cooked rice, the above space is also heated from the center of the top surface of the corresponding rice, and also with the container with added food. In this case, the additive food inside is heated from the center of the bottom with a space. In particular, the added food in the container containing the added food has a larger surface area heated by the space recessed upwards and the heating rate is faster than that of cooked rice. Foods are heated to a higher temperature than cooked rice.

[0007]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the packaged food product of the present invention, since the space portion that is recessed upward is formed in the central portion of the bottom portion of the container for additive food, when the food is cooked by the microwave oven, the space from which the food product is heated is also heated. As a result, the cooked rice and added foods in each container can be efficiently heated, and the cooking time can be shortened. In addition, the heated space on the side of the container containing the additive food is increased by the above-mentioned space, and the heating speed of the additive food inside is higher than that of cooked rice, and the additive food and cooked rice are heated to their respective suitable temperatures. can do . As a result, there is also an effect that the food in a container can be deliciously eaten as curry rice or a bowl.

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. The container-containing food for microwave oven cooking of this embodiment is a container containing cooked rice in which cooked rice A is contained in one container 1A. 1 and a container 10 containing an additive food such as a container 10A containing an additive food B such as curry or a bowl material, and the container 10 containing the additive food is provided on top of the container 1 containing rice. It is composed by polymerizing.

The cooked rice container 1A and the additive food container 10A are each formed of a material that can be heated by a microwave oven, for example, a non-metallic material such as heat-resistant plastic.

The cooked rice container 1A is formed into an oval shape (lunch box shape) having a vertical length of 20 to 25 cm, a horizontal length of 10 to 15 cm, and a depth of 6 to 8 cm, for example. An upper portion of the cooked rice container 1A is opened, and a flange 3 is formed along the entire circumference of the opening edge 1a. An appropriate amount (for example, a depth amount of about 1/2) of cooked rice A is accommodated in the cooked rice container 1A to form the cooked rice container 1.

The additive food container 10A has an outer shape substantially the same as that of the cooked rice container 1A, and is formed to have a height of about 5 to 7 cm. A flange 16 is formed along the entire circumference at the upper opening edge of the additive food container 10A. Further, in this additive food container 10A, an annular step portion 12 having a large diameter in the upper half portion 14 and a small diameter in the lower half portion 13 is formed in the middle portion in the height direction. The outer diameter of the lower half portion 13 of the additive food container 10A is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the opening of the cooked rice container 1A.

In addition, the bottom portion 11 of the additive food container 10A is provided with a space portion 15 which is recessed upward in the central portion 11a thereof. The space 15 has, for example, a length of about 12 to 16 cm, a width of about 4 to 6 cm, and a depth of about 2 to 3 cm. In this additive food container 10A, the additive food B such as curry or bowl material is accommodated up to almost the height of the annular step 12, and the opening of the additive food container 10A is sealed with a plastic film 17. Thus, the container 10 containing the additive food is configured. It should be noted that the plastic film 17 is such that when the food in a container is heated by a microwave oven and the pressure in the space inside the container 10 containing the additive food becomes unnecessarily large, a part of the seal portion peels off and the internal pressure is reduced. It is bonded with an adhesive force that allows it to escape to the outside.

In this container-containing food, the lower half portion 13 of the additive-containing food container 10 is fitted in the upper opening of the cooked rice-containing container 1 and the lower surface of the annular step portion 12 is set in the cooked rice-containing container 1. It is placed on the flange 3 and is formed by stacking the two containers 1 and 10 in two stages. When both containers 1 and 10 are polymerized, the lower surface of the annular step portion 12 on the side of the container for additive food 10A and the upper surface of the flange 3 on the side of the container for cooked rice 1A are joined over the entire circumference, and A small gap M is formed between the lower surface of the bottom 11 of the container 10A and the upper surface Ab of the cooked rice A. Further, the bottom space portion 15 on the side of the additive food container 10A is maintained as a space.

The entire food in a container is packaged with a packaging film at the time of shipping, and placed in a freezer to be frozen at the time of store display or at home.

Then, the packaged food is peeled off the packaging film at the time of eating and cooked in a microwave oven. When the container food is heated by a microwave oven, the cooked rice A in the cooked rice container 1 and the additive food B in the additive food container 10 are heated. At that time, the foods A and B in the containers are heated from their outer portions Aa and Ba, and at the same time, there is a small gap M and a space 15 between the containers 1A and 10A. The upper portion Ab thereof is also heated, and the additive food B is also heated from the central portion Bb (the peripheral portion of the space 15). Therefore, the heating efficiency is improved, and the foods A and B can be heated to their desired temperatures in a relatively short time. In addition, on the side of the additive food B, the heating rate is higher than that of the cooked rice A due to the fact that it is also heated from the wall surface of the space portion 15, and when heated for the same time, Becomes higher. During cooking, the pressure in each space inside the food container increases, but when the internal space exceeds the specified pressure on the side of the container 10 containing the additive food, the pressure causes one of the sealing portions of the plastic film 17 to be lost. When the portion peels off and the internal pressure escapes from it, and when the space between both containers exceeds a predetermined pressure, the pressure pushes up the upper container 10 containing the added food to release the internal pressure. Then, after cooking in a microwave oven for a predetermined time, the food in a container may be taken out from the microwave oven, and the additive food B may be put on the cooked rice A and eaten. At this time, in the cooked rice A and the additive food B, the additive food B is heated to a higher temperature than the cooked rice A and can be eaten deliciously as a curry rice or a bowl.
