Description

[0001] The invention relates to a baking arrangement comprising a baking mold and a baking base for the production of baked goods.

[0002] Generally, a baking arrangement is known to use a springform pan and a serving base.

[0003] DE 20 2013 102 957 U1 describes a collection device for catching overflowing cooking liquid, detachably arranged on a food preparation container with a container wall, a container rim widened beyond the outer circumference of the lid, and a container access opening in which a freely resting lid can be positioned and is provided. The collection device has a collection cavity with an outer collection wall and a through-opening, wherein the collection cavity has an outer collection wall and an upper rim edge. The collection cavity is formed from the outer collection wall of the collection device and the widened container rim of a food preparation container, which, after the collection device is attached, serves as part and / or the bottom of the collection cavity, so that the collection device itself does not have a section that forms or can form a bottom of the collection cavity.

[0004] DE 10 2009 024 286 B4 describes a bottomless baking mold made of at least one strip of flexible material, wherein the silicone strip is malleable in its transverse direction, such that the strip can be placed upright in a freely selectable contour on a flat baking surface, wherein the strip is designed in the area of ​​the lower edge in such a way that the strip stands firmly on the flat baking surface, and wherein the ends of the strip can be connected to each other enclosing a closed form.

[0005] The invention is based on the objective of providing a novel baking arrangement for the production of baked goods.

[0006] The problem is solved according to the invention by a baking arrangement which has the features specified in claim 1.

[0007] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0008] A baking arrangement comprises a baking mold and a baking base for the production of baked goods. According to the invention, the baking base is flexible and the baking mold is rigid, wherein the baking base has a circumferential sealing lip projecting from a base, which, when the rigid baking mold is inserted into the flexible baking base, bears against the outside of the baking mold section by section and circumferentially.

[0009] This baking tray is not only suitable for baking liquid or semi-liquid batter. It is also suitable for cooling or setting liquid mixtures or toppings. This type of baking tray is also known as a cake pan.

[0010] By means of such a baking arrangement, and in particular by means of such a baking base, it is largely possible to prevent liquid material, especially liquid batter, poured into the baking mold from leaking out at the bottom. The surrounding sealing lip thus forms a leak-proof barrier for the baking arrangement.

[0011] In one embodiment, the sealing lip, particularly in its unassembled state, is inclined towards the center of the baking base. This ensures that at least an upper edge of the sealing lip rests against the baking mold, thus largely preventing the liquid batter from leaking out of the baking arrangement.

[0012] In another version, a serving and / or transport plate can be inserted into the baking base beneath the baking pan. This serving and / or transport plate stabilizes the baking arrangement and forms a compact unit. Furthermore, the baked goods can be cut within the baking arrangement when the serving and / or transport plate is in place, without damaging the baking base or any underlying structure with a cutting tool. Specifically, the serving and / or transport plate is designed to be cut-resistant.

[0013] Another possible design involves using a serving and / or transport plate that is large enough to completely cover the baking base. The serving and / or transport plate thus stiffens the baking base across its entire surface, making the baking arrangement relatively easy to transport and set down.

[0014] In one embodiment of the baking arrangement, the baking base has a circumferential groove in an area adjacent to the sealing lip. This groove serves, in particular, to collect any liquid mixture that might leak from the baking mold. Furthermore, the groove can act as a so-called weak point, allowing the sealing lip to have a predetermined degree of flexibility and fold outwards.

[0015] In a further development, the circumference, in particular the diameter, of the baking mold designed as a baking ring is adjustable. This allows a desired diameter to be set, although if the diameter is larger than that of the silicone mold, the mold cannot be used as a leak guard. If the diameter is slightly or significantly smaller than that of the baking base, the silicone mold can be used, and any leaking batter can be contained by the base.

[0016] In one possible further development, a scale is applied to the outside of the baking pan. This scale, particularly with regard to quantity and / or circumference dimensions, serves as a guide and is applied to the outside so that the respective unit of measurement is visible even when the baking pan is filled.

[0017] Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. These show: Fig. 1. Schematic perspective view of a baking arrangement, Fig. 2 schematically a side view of the baking arrangement, Fig. 3 schematically an enlarged section of a cross-sectional view of the baking arrangement, Fig. 4 schematically a perspective view of a square baking base of the baking arrangement and Fig. 5 schematically the baking arrangement with the square baking base and an inserted square baking pan.

[0018] Corresponding parts are marked with the same reference symbols in all figures.

[0019] Fig. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a baking arrangement B, where in Fig. 2 a side view of the baking arrangement B and in Fig. Figure 3 shows an enlarged section of a sectional view of the baking arrangement B. The figures in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 to Fig. Baking arrangement B shown in 3 is particularly intended for the production of round baked goods.

[0020] Baking arrangement B comprises an adjustable baking pan 1 in the form of a baking ring, hereinafter referred to as baking ring 1, and a baking base 2 in the form of a silicone mold, hereinafter referred to as silicone mold 2. Additionally, a serving and / or transport plate 3 is provided, which can be inserted into the silicone mold 2 below the baking ring 1.

[0021] Such a backring 1 is generally known, wherein a desired diameter of the backring 1 is adjustable.

[0022] The baking ring 1 features a flat band F, which, by overlapping and connecting the end sections E1 and E2 of the flat band F, forms a ring with a predefinable diameter. The flat band F is made of aluminum and / or stainless steel and is therefore suitable for contact with food, for example, with a cake base, cake glaze, and / or cream.

[0023] An end section E1 of the flat strip F has a number of depressions V for adjusting the diameter of the ring, which are centered in the flat strip F with respect to a height of the backing ring 1. For example, the depressions V are formed in the flat strip F, in particular in its end section E1, by means of embossing.

[0024] A retaining clip 4 is fixedly arranged on a further end section E2, by means of which the two end sections E1 and E2 are connected to each other. The retaining clip 4 is fixedly positioned at the edge of the further end section E2, and the end section E1 is slidably mounted and fixed within the retaining clip 4 to adjust a desired diameter relative to the further end section E2. This connection between the two end sections E1 and E2 can be released without damage, so that the end sections E1 and E2 are no longer arranged one above the other and the flat belt F can thus be cleaned more efficiently, for example.

[0025] In an area of ​​the further end section E2 adjacent to the retaining clip 4, a handle 5 is arranged, which is used to adjust the desired diameter. To do this, the handle 5 is held and the end sections E1 and E2 are moved relative to each other until the ring has the desired diameter.

[0026] A projection E is formed centrally on the longitudinal extent of the retaining clip 4, and a ball 6 is arranged centrally on this projection. Specifically, the ball 6 is positioned between the retaining clip 4 and the further end section E2. The ball 6 is partially supported in a recess (not shown) of the retaining clip 4 and partially supported in a recess (also not shown) of the further end section E2. The diameter of both recesses is smaller than the diameter of the ball 6, thus securing it in the recesses between the retaining clip 4 and the further end section E2. A segment of the ball 6 projects through the recess of the further end section E2 towards the end section E1 and rests against the end section E1 under preload.

[0027] Furthermore, the baking ring 1 has an additional retaining clip 7, which is arranged on the flat belt F. By means of this additional retaining clip 7, the end section E1, which is arranged section by section within the baking ring 1 at the set diameter, can be fixed to the flat belt F, in particular to the further end section E2. This largely prevents the inner end section E1 from protruding into a filling chamber of the baking ring 1 and thus interfering with work processes, such as the filling of a liquid batter.

[0028] Furthermore, a further handle 8 for handling the backing ring 1, in particular for adjusting the desired diameter, is arranged or formed on the flat belt F, in particular in a section located between the two end sections E1, E2.

[0029] The flat belt F, i.e., the backing ring 1, has a scale S on its outer surface, which serves to set the diameter. The diameter can be marked using different units of measurement. The unit of measurement is either centimeters or inches. Alternatively or additionally, a scale S relating to quantities can be applied to the inside and / or outside of the flat belt F.

[0030] To adjust the desired diameter, a user holds the back ring 1 with one hand, for example by the further handle 8, and moves the further end section E2 in a direction using the handle 5, in particular to increase or decrease the diameter of the ring to adjust the desired diameter.

[0031] Once the desired diameter, which may be standardized in relation to the baked goods to be produced, has been set, the ball section protruding through the end section E1 of the ball 6 arranged between the retaining clip 4 and the further end section E2 snaps into one of the recesses V.

[0032] In one embodiment, a recess V is provided in the flat strip F at the further end section E2, where a dimension in relation to the diameter is applied.

[0033] The baking ring 1 can be inserted into the silicone mold 2, wherein the diameter of the baking ring 1 is adjusted such that a sealing lip 2.1 formed on the silicone mold 2 rests at least partially and circumferentially on the outside of the baking ring 1.

[0034] The sealing lip 2.1 is formed on the silicone mold 2 such that it projects upwards, with the sealing lip 2.1 being inclined towards the center of the silicone mold 2. In particular, the sealing lip 2.1 is inclined at a predetermined angle towards the center, so that at least an upper edge region of the sealing lip 2.1 rests against the outside of the baking ring 1. The sealing lip 2.1 serves as a leakage guard for the baking arrangement B. Specifically, the sealing lip 2.1 largely prevents a liquid mass, especially a liquid batter, poured into the baking ring 1 from leaking out.

[0035] Furthermore, the silicone mold 2 has a circumferential groove N in an area adjacent to the sealing lip 2.1. This circumferential groove N is specifically designed to collect any liquid batter that might leak from the silicone mold 2, forming a drip tray. In addition, the circumferential groove N is designed to ensure that the sealing lip 2.1 has a predetermined flexibility, allowing it to rest against the baking ring 1 and fold outwards.

[0036] In particular, the sealing lip 2.1 of the silicone mold 1 and also the silicone mold 2 are pre-tensioned when the baking ring 1 is inserted into the silicone mold 2.

[0037] Alternatively, it can also be provided that when the baking ring 1 is inserted into the silicone mold 2, the sealing lip 2.1 rests against the inside of the baking ring 1 all the way around.

[0038] As described above, the baking arrangement B includes the serving and / or transport plate 3, which stiffens the silicone mold 2, in particular its base. The serving and / or transport plate 3 is dimensioned such that the base of the silicone mold 2 is completely covered by it. This allows the baking arrangement B to be transported and set down. Furthermore, the serving and / or transport plate 3 enables the baked goods in the baking arrangement B to be cut without damaging the silicone mold 2. For this purpose, the serving and / or transport plate 3 is made of a cut-resistant material, such as stainless steel.

[0039] In an alternative embodiment of the baking arrangement B, in particular the silicone mold 2, it is provided that this mold is ring- or collar-shaped and therefore has no base. This ring- or collar-shaped silicone mold 2 is then arranged circumferentially on the outside or inside of the baking mold 1 in order to largely prevent the dough poured into the baking ring 1 from leaking out. The ring- or collar-shaped silicone mold 2 seals the baking ring 1 from its base.

[0040] The Fig. 4 and Fig. Figure 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the baking arrangement B, wherein the baking mold 1 and the silicone mold are rectangular. With this baking arrangement B, it is thus possible to produce rectangular baked goods, and the silicone mold 2, as described above, significantly reduces the risk of liquid, in particular dough, spilling out of the baking mold 1.

[0041] These in the Fig. 4 and Fig. The baking arrangement B shown in Figure 5, with square baking pan 1 and square silicone mold 2, has essentially the same structure and functions as the baking arrangement B with round baking pan 1 and round silicone mold 2.
