Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to instant noodles in a container that can be eaten immediately by simply pouring boiling water after opening the container.

Conventionally, this type of container-packed instant noodles has been made by placing the instant noodle mass in an insulating cup-shaped container made of foamed synthetic resin or the like, with the side surface of the noodle mass being in close contact with the inner surface of the container, and with a space at the top and bottom. The noodle block is stored near the mouth of the container, and the drying tool is placed on top of the noodle block. However, in the case of such container-packed instant noodles, not only is the noodle mass stored in the insulated container in close contact with the inner surface of the container, but also the top surface of the noodle mass is located near the mouth of the container. Therefore, when pouring boiling water after opening the container, the water does not penetrate well and if poured too quickly, the hot water may overflow or splash from the container and cause burns, and the inner surface of the container and the noodle mass may Since there is no space between the noodles, the noodle lumps are slow to return to hot water after pouring the hot water, resulting in a long period of time before they can be eaten.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide containerized instant noodles that can be poured smoothly and have a shortened return time.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an illustrated embodiment.

1 in the figure is a cup-shaped heat-insulating container made of expanded polystyrene, for example. On the side wall portion of the heat insulating container 1 extending from the bottom surface to the vicinity of the center, for example, four ribs 2, which protrude inward and extend in the height direction, are provided at a circumferential angle of 90 degrees.
In the container 1, a noodle mass 3 which has been subjected to oil heat treatment is stored. This noodle mass 3 is in close contact only with each of the ribs 2, and there are spaces 4 in the upper and lower parts of the container 1.
5 is formed and a gap 8 is formed between the inner surface of the container and the side surface of the noodle mass. Furthermore, dry ingredients 6 such as vegetables and meat are placed on the noodle mass 3. Note that 7 in the figure is a lid made of a non-breathable moisture-proof material such as aluminum foil, which is attached to the opening of the heat-insulating container 1 to seal the container 1.

With this configuration, when hot water is poured into heat-insulating container 1 after opening, because the noodle block 3 stored in container 1 is stored toward the bottom, there is a wide space between the top of the noodle block and the opening of the container, and because the noodle block is not in close contact with the inside surface of the container, the hot water can be poured safely and quickly, thereby shortening the reconstitution time and ultimately the time from pouring the hot water until the noodle is ready to be eaten.

In addition, a plurality of ribs 2 are provided on the side wall of the heat-insulating container 1 extending from the bottom to the vicinity of the center and extending upwardly and protruding inwardly.
By providing ..., the strength of the container 1 can be improved and the gripability can be improved.

In the above example, four ribs were provided on the side wall of the container, but two, three, or five or more ribs may be provided, and gaps are left in the upper and lower parts of the storage area for the noodle lumps in the example. However, it is also possible to store the noodle mass in a manner that the lower part of the noodle mass is in contact with the bottom of the container.

As detailed above, according to the present invention, boiling water can be safely and quickly poured to rehydrate the noodles, shortening the rehydration time, shortening the time from pouring hot water to serving, and providing insulation. It is possible to provide instant noodles in containers with improved strength and gripability.
