Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a frozen food in a container for thawing in a microwave oven that can be easily cooked by heating with a microwave oven.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a frozen food in a container has been devised, which saves the trouble of separately using a pan or the like and can be cooked simply by placing it on an open flame and heating it.

However, the heating method of placing it on an open flame has the drawbacks that it takes time and effort to adjust the heat and that the food is limited to ramen or porridge with a large amount of juice.

Therefore, the present inventor can use a microwave oven to make cooking easier and in a shorter time, and to make it possible to use foods with low juice such as rice bowls and curry rice, frozen in a container as shown in FIG. The food was invented first.

In this food, frozen rice b is arranged on the bottom of a heat-resistant container a, cooked ingredient c is arranged on it in a frozen state together with seasoning juice d, and the container a is attached with a lid e. Is. As shown in FIG. 4, when this food is placed on the turntable 9 in the cooking chamber 7 of the microwave oven and heated, with the lid e kept, the stirrer 8 on the upper part of the cooking chamber 7 and the rotation of the turntable 9 are rotated. The electromagnetic waves disturbed by and as shown by the arrows penetrate through the container a and hit the food inside without fail.
The frozen rice b, ingredients c, and seasoning juice d are thawed.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, while cooking, the electromagnetic waves of the microwave oven are hit evenly as described above, but in the beef bowl or parent and child bowl, the frozen layer of the cooked juice d containing a large amount of juice. Is placed on the top of rice b, the electromagnetic wave 10 from above is taken away by the defrosting work, and the central portion of rice b located at the bottom
b ₁ is hard to reach.

The other part of the rice b is thawed by supplementing the shortage of electromagnetic waves from above with electromagnetic waves from the side or below, but it is sufficient to reach the central part b _{1 in} contact with the frozen layer of seasoning juice d. Since electromagnetic waves are hard to reach, there is a problem in that it is not thawed sufficiently and remains in a cold state. In addition, there is also a problem that the thawed cold juice of the frozen layer permeates the surface of the frozen layer to make it more difficult to thaw. The central part b ₁
If the rice is boiled until it is thawed, there is a problem that the surrounding rice b is overheated and dried, and becomes crispy and the taste is impaired.

Therefore, the present invention solves all of these problems, and even a bowl or curry rice with a seasoning juice layer with a large amount of juice can be thawed and heated evenly on average, and it is contained in a microwave defrosting container that you can enjoy deliciously. The purpose is to provide frozen food.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention arranges frozen rice or noodles at the bottom of a heat-resistant container and freezes the cooked ingredients together with seasoning juice. It is a frozen food which is placed in such a state that the container is covered with a lid, and a frozen layer composed of ingredients and seasoning juice is formed into a donut shape having a hole in the center.

(Operation) When the frozen food in the container of the present invention is heated in a microwave oven, electromagnetic waves pass through the container and are frozen rice or noodles placed in the container from four directions, and the frozen food is placed on the frozen rice or noodles. Irradiate the ingredients and seasoning juice and gradually thaw them.

The frozen layer consisting of this ingredient and seasoning juice is thawed by the electromagnetic wave from above, but since it is in the shape of a donut with a hole in the center, the electromagnetic wave irradiated to the center is directly below the hole. Since the rice is not irradiated and thawed and the frozen layer is not soaked in the thawed juice of the frozen layer, when the whole is thawed, that portion remains cold. In addition, the rice other than the central part is thawed mainly by electromagnetic waves from the side and bottom, heating the whole rice evenly to prevent the surroundings from drying too much, and thawing in the same time as the frozen layer of ingredients and seasoning juice. By heating, the whole food can be finished deliciously.

The frozen food in a container of the present invention has a frozen layer of ingredients and seasoning juice, and a layer of rice is separately arranged, so that both can be manufactured in different steps. For example, the frozen layer is frozen into a cylindrical shape. The sliced product may be sliced with an appropriate width, which facilitates manufacturing.

(Embodiment) The present invention will be specifically described below based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, the frozen food contained in the container of the present embodiment is frozen rice 2 at the bottom 1a of a heat-resistant plastic container 1.
And the cooked ingredients 3 and seasoned juice 4 are placed in a frozen state in a layered state. The rice 2 is prepared by normally cooking rice and immediately frozen, and the frozen layer 5 of the ingredients 3 and the seasoning juice 4 is prepared by freezing the prepared food together.
Since the one shown in FIG. 1 is a beef bowl, the ingredients 3 are onions and beef, and the seasoning juice 4 has its taste adjusted with soy sauce, sugar, mirin and the like. Since the rice 2 and the ingredients 3 and the seasoning juice 4 are separately arranged, they can be produced in different steps, and the frozen layer 5 is frozen in a cylindrical shape, and then the frozen layer 5 is formed as shown in FIG. It can also be formed by slicing to an appropriate width as shown in FIG.

The frozen layer 5 composed of the ingredients 3 and the seasoning juice 4 is formed into a donut shape with a hole 5a having a diameter of about 1/3 to 1/4 opened in the center as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. is doing.

The plastic container 1 has a recess 1b formed in the center of the bottom 1a, and a heat-resistant plastic lid 6 is attached to the rim 1c. As shown in FIG. 3, the lid 6 is formed with a protrusion 6a which serves as a knob when opened, and a plurality of small holes 6b are formed around the protrusion 6a. This small hole 6b is about 0.
It has a size of 5 to 2 mm and is designed to properly remove steam when heating food. By releasing an appropriate amount of steam from this small hole 6b, the steam pressure inside the container 1 is reduced, preventing the food inside from being pressed too much and pressing the rice, and the cooked rice can be finished fluffy and delicious. . Further, it is possible to prevent dew condensation of the steam in the container 1 by releasing a proper amount of the steam, and it is possible to prevent water droplets from penetrating into the rice and becoming a sticky state.

In the production example of the frozen food described above, in consideration of food hygiene, the lid is closed, then sealed in a packaging bag (not shown), and distributed in such a state.

The frozen food produced as described above is placed on the turntable 9 in the cooking chamber 7 of the microwave oven as shown in FIG. Place and heat. The electromagnetic waves of the microwave oven are confused by the rotation of the stirrer 8 and the rotation of the turntable 9 as shown by the arrows, and are irradiated from four directions. 2. Thaw ingredients 3, seasoning juice 4.

The freezing layer 5 is mainly thawed by the electromagnetic wave 10 from above.
At that time, as described above, in the case shown in FIG.
The electromagnetic wave 10 is deprived of the thawing work of the seasoning juice 4 containing a large amount of juice, and it becomes difficult to reach the rice 2 below. In particular, the central portion 2a of the rice 2 is difficult to supplement with the electromagnetic waves 11 coming from the side or the bottom, so that it remains in a cold state. In addition, if you heat the rice 2 until the central part 2a of the rice 2 is thawed,
There is a problem that the surrounding rice 2 is overheated. Therefore, in the freezing layer 5 of the present embodiment, the hole 5a is formed in the central portion as described above so that the rice 2a below the hole 5a is thawed by direct irradiation of the electromagnetic wave 10 from above. In addition, in the lower part (upper center part) 2a of the hole 5a, the rice 2 is not soaked in the cold juice from which the frozen layer 5 has been thawed.
It is possible to eliminate the fact that it remains cold.

In addition to the thawing, the rice 2 other than the central portion of the upper portion can be mainly thawed by the electromagnetic waves 11 from the sides and the bottom, so that the entire rice 2 can be heated evenly and the surroundings can be prevented from being too dry. In this way, the frozen layer 5 of the ingredients 3 and the seasoning juice 4 and the rice 2 are thawed and heated evenly, and the small holes 5b of the lid 5 release steam appropriately to make the entire food delicious and easy. It can be finished in a short time.

The present invention can be constructed in various modes other than the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, in addition to the above-mentioned beef bowl, katsu-don or parent-child bowl can be used, or the frozen layer can be curry to be curry rice, or rice can be used as noodles to make foxne udon or ankake noodle.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention has the above-described structure and operation, it is possible to uniformly thaw and heat the frozen layer of ingredients and seasoning juice and the rice by facilitating the thawing of the upper central portion of the rice. It is possible to provide a frozen food containing a container for thawing in a microwave oven with a simple manufacturing method, which makes it possible to cook the entire food deliciously and easily.
