Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects.

By heating the kneaded material 2A with the water species 2 by the heating plate 10 at 170 ° C to 220 ° C, it is possible to prepare a heat-dried plate-shaped forming body 5 having a water content of about 8%. Since the formed body 5 has a small water content of about 3%, the heating plate 10
The first effect is that it can be easily peeled off from above with a scraper SC or the like, and can be easily conveyed to the next step.

By adhering the paper sheet 6 to one surface of the peeled plate-shaped forming body 5, a paper sheet-adhered plate-shaped product 7 can be produced, and the paper sheet-adhered plate-shaped product 7 is bent. Since it is about the degree, it is easy to handle for storage, transportation, etc.
It has a second effect that it is not chipped or cracked.

Then, the plate-shaped product 7 with the paper sheet attached is packaged, for example, in units of 10 sheets, shipped to a user such as an ice cream seller, and reaches the user side in the distribution process.
7,7 Since the paper sheets 6 intervene with each other, they do not adhere to the delusion.Therefore, the user side uses one sheet to form the paper sheet-adhered plate-shaped product 7 that has been transported into a cup shape. There is also a third effect that they are easily peeled off.

When the product 7 is heated and dried anew and finish heating for softening is performed, the water content of the plate-shaped product 7 with the paper sheet adhered adheres to the surface of the tissue almost in a moisture state. Since the dehydration drying does not require heat change of the structure of the plate-shaped product 7 with the paper sheet attached, the above-mentioned plate-shaped molded product 5 having the original water content of 10 to 15% is used. Since the time required for finish heating and drying can be significantly reduced and the heater power amount per sheet can be reduced to about one third, the running cost can be reduced and the fourth effect is economical.

When the heat-dried and softened plate-like body 8 immediately after being softened by the above-mentioned finishing heat-drying is finished and fired with its paper-sheet-adhering surface facing outward, it is quickly made into a cup-like shape due to the softening and fluidizing action of the sugar and fat contained therein. By forming a dish and then cooling and solidifying it, a hygienic edible container surrounded by a paper sleeve on the outside can be created and sold quickly, so customers' waiting time can be minimized. Yes, the purchaser can eat the clean edible container C itself in the paper sleeve hygienically after finishing eating the ice cream in the edible container. There is also a trendy fifth effect that you can do it.

According to claim 2, a maker's name, food type, etc. can be printed with a beautiful pattern on the surface of the paper sheet 6 surrounding the outer surface of the edible container C, and the date of manufacture can be stamped. The above effect can be added.
