The present invention relates to instant food packages.

Instant food saves busy modern people the time it takes to cook, and the demand continues to grow. If the instant food is an instant noodle in the form of a bag or container, the instant noodle rises as a whole by the buoyancy generated by the rise of hot liquid during convection, while the upper part of the noodle is in contact with the atmosphere and the lower part of the noodle is hot. It comes into contact with the liquid from the bottom and cooks from the bottom of the noodle.

Therefore, the conventional instant noodles have a cooking inconvenience in that the upper and lower portions of the noodles are turned over using chopsticks during cooking in order to cook the noodles evenly and shorten the cooking time.

In addition, since separate meal utensils such as chopsticks, forks, and spoons are required to separate the solid meal of cooked instant foods from hot liquid broth, conventional instant food packages carry separate meal utensils together. Inconvenient to do, there is a problem that it is difficult to consume instant food in the case of unnatural patients, disabled people or foreigners use of a particular eating utensil.

As a conventional technique for instant noodles, which is a kind of instant food, the invention of manufacturing functional noodles mixed with green tea, rice, fish, tofu, etc. (Korean Patent Application No. 10-1989-0015568,10-1993-0006029, 10 -1994-0016679, 10-1997-0063573, 10-2005-0108381), but since the patent and the conventional cotton ball is an average length of about 40 ~ 70cm, it is easy to consume immediately when using chopsticks, In the case of using a fork, it is inconvenient to repeatedly wind the noodle on the fork so that the noodle does not flow down.

In addition, since the liquid broth of the instant food leaks to the outside of the container and may be in contact with clothing when the instant food is being carried and moved, the user cannot safely and easily ingest the instant food containing the broth. There is this.

The present invention provides an instant food package that is easy to ingest and shortens the cooking time.

In addition, the present invention provides a ready-to-eat instant food packaging.

According to an aspect of the invention, the instant food is cooked by a high temperature liquid, and a heat-resistant container that accommodates the instant food therein and has an opening on one side, and includes a stopper coupled to the opening and closing the opening, the instant Food is ingested as it moves in conjunction with the flow of liquid and flows out through an open opening and liquid is prevented from spilling out of a container that is flipped over or shaken by a closed stopper. When the container is inverted or shaken, the cooking time can be shortened while the heat transfer through the convection of the ready-to-eat food and the hot liquid is facilitated.

Instant food can be a variety of soups or instant noodles, such as fish paste, sujebi, rice cake soup, Seolleongtang, Yukgaejang, meat soup, vegetable soup, vegetable soup, miso soup, and soup rice, which are distinguished from liquid soup and solid dry matter. , Udon noodles, vermicelli, noodles may be any one selected from the group consisting of.

If the instant food is any one selected from the group of instant noodles consisting of noodles, udon noodles, noodles, and noodles, the length of the instant noodles should be less than 0.1 cm to 5 cm so that the user can easily ingest it directly through the opening by tilting the container. It is preferable.

In order to limit the viscosity of the broth so that the instant noodles flow smoothly, it is preferable that the weight of instant noodles having a length of 1 cm to 5 cm or less is included as 90 wt% or more of the total weight of the instant noodles.

The container is preferably formed in the shape of a bottle or pack with a length longer than the width so that the user can easily carry the instant food package with one hand and take the instant food. When gripping by hand, it is preferable to further include a heat insulating layer for blocking heat transferred from the hot liquid.

The outer surface or the cap of the container is preferably provided with a heat shrink film that shrinks to a length corresponding to the cooking completion time of the instant food by the heat of the liquid.

The stopper may be screwably detachably coupled to the opening so that an additive such as hot liquid or soup may be easily introduced into the container through the opening, and a straw for sucking and ingesting soup or instant food formed by the liquid may be provided. If it further comprises a straw can easily consume the instant food remaining on the inner wall of the container.

It further comprises a locking member coupled to the opening or stopper to close a portion of the opening, the locking member and the stopper to form a receiving space, the instant food is caught on the locking member while the liquid mixed with the instant food enters the receiving space, The user can selectively ingest only the instant food caught on the locking member by separating from the soup.

The catching member may be provided with a catching groove for accommodating the instant food by a predetermined volume that is easy for the user to consume once, or a catching jaw for easily catching the instant food entering or leaving the receiving space. The locking member is formed with an inclined portion to reduce the flow resistance of the liquid, the liquid mixed with instant food can be easily introduced into the receiving space, or the hole is formed in the locking member can flow in and out.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the instant food package according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same or corresponding components are given the same reference numerals and duplicated thereto.
