Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a manufacturing container used for making cupcakes at home using a microwave oven.

(Problems to be solved by conventional technology and ideas) Conventional sponge cupcakes are generally made by putting a batter solution containing various ingredients into a mold and heating it in an oven over medium heat (150° to 175°C) for 20 to 40 minutes. It is baked for several minutes (depending on the ingredients). When trying to cook this sponge cake in a microwave oven, various problems arise. For example, when a microwave oven hits metal, it reflects, so metal molds cannot be used, and containers made of heat-resistant glass, ceramics, synthetic resin, etc. must be used, and these containers have high specific heat. In addition, microwave cooking uses the heat generated by the cooking ingredients themselves rather than external heat, so if you do not take care to avoid the effects of residual heat from the container after cooking, you will end up with a soft, spongy cake. I can't make it.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a container that can make cupcakes in a microwave oven. In other words, the container for making cupcakes according to the present invention has a wide tapered mouth, a hole of an appropriate size in the center of the bottom, a smooth inner bottom surface around the hole, and grooves. A container body having a groove formed therein and a leg protrusion corresponding to the concave groove on the outer bottom surface, and a bottom plate having a smooth lower surface and a protrusion that fits into the concave groove. It is characterized by the following.

(Function) When the bottom plate is placed on the bottom of the container and the cake batter solution is poured into it, the inner bottom of the container and the bottom plate are smooth and in close contact with each other over a wide area, so that no water flows through the through holes. There is no leakage of the solution, and the legs on the outside bottom of the container allow the bottom to be placed a little higher than the reflector plate inside the microwave when heating, so the bottom part can be placed in the same way as other parts. After the heat conditions have been reached and the dough solution has solidified, the container is turned upside down and the bottom plate is lightly pressed with a finger through the hole, so that the solidified soft cake can be easily removed from the container.

(Example) Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The container of this invention consists of a container body 1 and a bottom plate 2. The container body 1 is provided with a through hole 4 in the bottom surface 3, and the inner bottom surface around the through hole 4 is made into a smooth surface a, and the through hole 4 is surrounded. A concave groove 5 is formed, and a leg protrusion 6 is provided on the bottom surface of the container body 1 in correspondence with the concave groove 5. The bottom plate 2 has a lower surface 7 corresponding to the smooth surface a of the inner bottom surface 3 as a smooth surface b, and the groove 5
A protrusion 8 corresponding to the above is provided.

After positioning the bottom plate 2 in the container body 1, fitting the convex strips 8 of the bottom plate 2 into the concave grooves 5 of the container body 1, and bringing both the smooth surfaces a and b into close contact, as shown in FIG. As shown, cake batter solution A is poured and solidified. For example, the cake batter is 3 eggs, 100g of flour,
Mix 90 g of sugar, 50 c.c. of milk, a teaspoon of baking powder, and 45 g of butter, whisk them thoroughly, pour into a container made of polypropylene, and heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds (electromagnetic heating). ) and remove from the microwave.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the container 1 is turned upside down and the bottom plate 2 exposed through the through hole 4 is lightly pressed, a soft and fluffy baked cake B is taken out. If the above-mentioned cake batter solution is heated in the same way using a commercially available heat-resistant container, it will not be easy to remove the cake from the container, and the portion of the removed cake that corresponds to the bottom of the container will become hard. ing. Because the bottom of the container was in close contact with the microwave's reflective mounting plate, the heat from the container itself was not dissipated to the outside, causing the bottom of the container to become hot, and even after the microwave heating was finished, the remaining heat from the container continued to cause the cake to bake. This is so that you can be saved.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, the present invention consists of a container body with a through hole of an appropriate size in the bottom, a leg protrusion on the outside of the bottom with a smooth surface around the hole, and a container that closes the through hole and A cake manufacturing container consisting of a bottom plate with a smooth surface around the closed area, and when the bottom plate is placed inside the container, the cake batter solution does not leak from the through holes due to the wide smooth surface and close contact, and it also has a leg protrusion. The strips prevent excess heat from accumulating in the container and allow the baked cake to be quickly removed from the container, preventing the cake from becoming hard due to residual heat in the container. This is the perfect container for making cakes in the microwave.
