[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When these fried foods are eaten, the frozen croquette or the like can be fried again with oil so that the fried foods can be eaten as tasty as if they were cooked at home. However, frying again is time consuming and cumbersome. Microwave ovens have become popular these days, and it would be convenient if microwave ovens could be used to thaw and heat them easily. However, when these fried foods are heated in a microwave oven, as is well known, the oil content of the fried foods floats on the surface, especially at the bottom, and the steam that is generated reattaches to the surface, resulting in a sticky surface and severely impaired flavor and taste. There is a problem. In particular, tempura requires a crispy and crisp texture, but when it is heated with an electronic range, the above-mentioned stickiness is severe, especially when thawing frozen tempura and further heating. It is extremely sticky and has the problem that it does not become a tempura.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to prevent the return of oil and water as much as possible and to make a fried food with less stickiness. A container for heating deep-fried food by a microwave oven is provided.

[Action]

 According to the container for heating deep-fried food by the microwave oven according to the present invention, since the deep-fried food can be supported by the protrusion while being floated from the bottom surface of the container, oil flowing from the deep-fried food does not return to the deep-fried food. The water vapor that falls into the space between the protrusions and accumulates on the bottom of the container, and is generated from the fried food is released from the space between the protrusions and from the microwave oven to the outside and does not reattach to the fried food. Therefore, the fried food is not sticky, and even when the tempura is heated, it is heated to a crispy, crisp state, and even when it is frozen tempura, there is little return of oil and water, and it is relatively It is heated in a crispy and crisp state and can be heated without impairing the flavor and taste.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a perspective view of the heating container 10, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line XX, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line YY. The heating container 10 has heat resistance to withstand heating by a microwave oven (heat resistance of 120 ° C. or higher) and is made of a material such as synthetic resin material, pottery, or glass, and is basically a shallow top surface. It is formed in the shape of a tray. In the illustrated example, a synthetic resin sheet is heated to soften it, and is formed by suction adhesion molding in which a synthetic resin sheet is placed on a molding die and sucked to be molded according to the surface of the molding die. Of course, it can also be formed by injection molding.

On the inner bottom surface of the heating container 10, a plurality of parallel ridges (projections) 12 are formed across the inner bottom surface. The ridge 12 is provided so that its height is lower than that of the side wall portion 14 of the heating container 10, so that the ridge 12 can function as a container. In the embodiment, the height of the side wall portion 14 is set to about 20 mm, the height of the ridges 12 is set to 5 mm, and the interval between the ridges 12 is set to about 5 to 10 mm. Of course, it is not limited to these numbers. Further, it is preferable that the upper surface of the ridge 12 is flat so as not to scratch the fried food placed thereon, and in the embodiment, it is formed to be a flat portion having a width of about 2 mm. Reference numeral 16 is a reinforcing rib that connects the ribs 12 to each other. The height of the rib 16 is preferably lower than the height of the rib 12. That is, it is preferable to form a space that is not separated by the reinforcing rib 16 between the adjacent protrusions 12. The ridges 12 also have a reinforcing effect on the container, and since the protrusions 12 and the reinforcing ribs 16 are provided in a lattice shape, the container 10 is effectively prevented from being deformed such as warped.

It is configured as described above. The fried food is heated in the microwave using the heating container 10 as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the fried food 20 is placed on the plurality of protrusions 12 in a bridging state and stored in the heating container 10. As a result, the fried food 20 is held in a state of floating from the inner bottom surface of the container. Then, as it is, that is, without covering or wrapping, it is put in the microwave oven in an open state and heated for a required time. By heating in the microwave, the oil content flows out from the fried food 20, but the oil content that flows out falls into the space between the protrusions 12 without returning to the fried food 20 and collects on the bottom surface of the container. Further, although the water is evaporated from the fried food 20, the heating container 10 is opened, and the space below the fried food 20 forms an unobstructed space between the protrusions 12, so that the generated water vapor is emitted from the space or the microwave oven to the outside. It is released and does not redeposit on the fried food 20 as in the past. Therefore, even when the deep-fried food 20 is not sticky and the tempura is heated, it is heated in a crispy and crisp state. I also tried freezing tempura from thawing to heating, but it was also heated to a relatively crisp and crisp state with little return of oil and water, and the flavor and taste were good.

In the above embodiment, the long protrusion 12 is formed, but as shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to form an island-shaped protrusion 22 and support the fried food so that it can be floated from the bottom surface of the container. Therefore, a plurality of them may be provided in an appropriate arrangement. Of course, the shape of the protrusion is not particularly limited.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 According to the container for heating deep-fried food by the microwave oven according to the present invention, since the deep-fried food can be supported by the protrusion while being floated from the bottom surface of the container, oil flowing from the deep-fried food does not return to the deep-fried food. The water vapor that falls into the space between the protrusions and accumulates on the bottom of the container, and is generated from the fried food is released from the space between the protrusions and from the microwave oven to the outside and does not reattach to the fried food. Therefore, the fried food is not sticky, and even when the tempura is heated, it is heated to a crispy, crisp state, and even when it is frozen tempura, there is little return of oil and water, and it is relatively It has a remarkable effect that it can be heated in a crispy and crisp state without sacrificing flavor and taste.
