Description

Title of the invention: Kit for preparing a pizza-type pie TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a kit for preparing a pie, of the pizza type.

[0002] It generally concerns all types of pies, savory or sweet, and in particular the preparation of pizza. STATE OF THE ART

[0003] Among the dishes traditionally consumed in homes, pizza-type pies are among the most popular dishes both for their ease of preparation and for the diversity of their composition which allows them to please the greatest number of people, children and adults. Pizzas are generally offered in individual or large sizes, to share.

[0004] Pizza-type pies are usually made from a rolled-out dough base, such as pizza dough, bread dough, shortcrust pastry, puff pastry, shortbread, etc., covered with a savory or sweet topping. The topping can include a wide variety of ingredients.

[0005] Typically, for a pizza, the ingredients include a sauce covering the dough, for example a tomato-based sauce, and ingredients such as charcuterie, cheese, vegetables, spices, etc.

[0006] We know that pizza-type pies are consumed in homes and are industrially prepared and vacuum-packed and kept cool or frozen.

[0007] Pizzas are either cooked, ready to be reheated in a traditional or microwave oven, or more or less pre-cooked, the consumer then having to cook the pizza before consumption.

[0008] Pizza-type pies prepared in this way have a fairly limited shelf life, as the ingredients mixed on the rolled-out dough base can interact and develop acidic compounds that alter the taste of the pizza when consumed. Furthermore, the presentation of a pizza-type pie prepared in this way is sometimes unappetizing, as the ingredients are compressed onto the rolled-out dough. Statement of the invention

[0009] The present invention aims to remedy all or part of the drawbacks of the state of the art cited above.

[0010] To this end, the invention relates to a kit for preparing a pie, of the pizza type, comprising a packaging box.

[0011] According to the invention, said packaging box comprises a first com- compartment in which a pie dough is packaged, and a second compartment comprising several cells, each cell containing an ingredient intended to be placed on the pie dough during the preparation of the pizza-type pie.

[0012] The preparation kit therefore allows the preparer to have the different ingredients to make a pizza-type pie. This pizza-type pie can easily and in a friendly, even fun, way be prepared at home, alone or with the family.

[0013] The pie dough is preferably raw. It can be pre-cooked by the preparer before arranging the ingredients and cooking the pizza-type pie.

[0014] Preferably, the ingredients are arranged on the raw pie dough, before baking the whole thing in a baking oven.

[0015] The pizza-type pie can further be personalized by a consumer depending on the ingredients used or according to their distribution over the different sectors or portions of the pizza-type pie.

[0016] Furthermore, the ingredients are packaged separately in each cell, avoiding any interaction which could generate transformations of the ingredients and / or the creation of acidity.

[0017] According to an advantageous characteristic, each cell is formed from an individual box placed in the second compartment.

[0018] The ingredients can thus be easily handled by the preparer.

[0019] In one embodiment, the first compartment has a rectangular shape, said pie dough being raw, rolled out and rolled up on itself.

[0020] The pie dough is thus ready to use, already rolled out, which makes it easier to prepare the pizza-type pie.

[0021] In practice, the second compartment also has a rectangular shape, the same length as the first compartment. The preparation kit is thus compact.

[0022] In one embodiment, each cell is formed from an individual box of trapezoidal shape, the height of the trapezoidal shape being substantially equal to the width of said second rectangular compartment.

[0023] In order to optimize the placement in the second compartment, the cells are of identical trapezoidal shape and are placed side by side in said second compartment, two cells side by side in said second compartment having respectively two inclined sides of the trapezoidal shape adjacent.

[0024] In one embodiment, a plastic film is attached to an upper face of the packaging box and extends over the first compartment and the second compartment.

[0025] This plastic film allows the entire packaging box to be closed. Preferably, the plastic film can be transparent to allow the ingredients to be viewed when purchasing.

[0026] In another embodiment, the pie dough is raw and in a ball in the first compartment.

[0027] The preparer can thus roll out the dough according to the desired shape (rectangular, circular) or into several pizza-type tartlets.

[0028] In practice, the pie dough is a pizza dough and the ingredients are chosen from cuts of meat or cheese, olives, spices, sliced ​​or cut vegetables, tomato-based sauces. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0029] Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the non-limiting description which follows.

[0030] In the attached drawings, given as non-limiting examples: • [Fig.l] is a schematic top view of a preparation kit according to a first embodiment of the invention, a protective film being removed; • [Fig.2] is a perspective view of a cell in the preparation kit of the [Fig.l] ; • [Fig.3] is a perspective view of the preparation kit of [Fig.l], a protective film being lifted; and • [Fig.4] is a front view of a preparation kit according to a second method of realization of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0031] We will first describe with reference to figures 1 to 3 a kit for preparing a pizza-type pie according to a first, non-limiting embodiment.

[0032] In the following description, a kit for preparing a pizza will be described. But of course, the invention finds its application for the packaging and preparation of any type of pie, savory or sweet.

[0033] As illustrated in [Fig.l], the preparation kit 1 comprises a packaging box 10 comprising a first compartment 11 and a second compartment 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, the preparation kit 1 is generally rectangular in shape, the first and second compartments 11, 12 being rectangular in shape.

[0035] The two compartments 11, 12 thus have the same elongated shape, of the same length 1. In this embodiment, they also have the same width L1, L2.

[0036] Of course, the width L1 of the first compartment 11 may be greater than the width L2 of the second compartment 12, or vice versa.

[0037] The packaging box 10 thus has, in this embodiment, a length 1 equal to the length of the compartments 11, 12 and a width L equal to the sum of the widths L1, L2 of the two compartments 11, 12.

[0038] The first compartment 11 is adapted to contain a pie dough 20, and in this embodiment, a pizza dough 20.

[0039] Preferably, the pie dough 20 is raw.

[0040] The pizza dough is preferably rolled out and rolled up on itself. A sheet of baking paper such as parchment paper may be rolled up with the dough to prevent it from sticking to itself. The sheet of baking paper may further be used during pizza preparation to serve as a support between the rolled out pizza dough 20 and a dish or baking tray before baking.

[0041] The pizza dough 20 is thus rolled up on itself in the preparation kit 1. It has the shape of an elongated roll, of length slightly less than the length 1 of the first compartment 11.

[0042] By way of non-limiting example, the length 1 of the first compartment 1 may be between 25 and 35 cm and the length of the pizza dough roll 20 may be between 20 and 30 cm.

[0043] The second compartment 12 comprises in this embodiment several cells 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d. Each cell 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d is adapted to contain a type of ingredients, preferably different from each other.

[0044] The ingredients are typically ingredients intended to be placed on the pizza dough when preparing the pizza from the preparation kit.

[0045] Thus, by way of non-limiting examples, the ingredients may be chosen from cuts of charcuterie or cheese, olives, spices, sliced ​​or chopped vegetables, tomato-based sauces. More specifically, the ingredients may be pieces of ham or bacon, cubes and / or slices of cheese, grated cheese, green or black olives, preferably pitted, spices such as oregano, herbs such as basil or arugula, mushrooms, peppers, etc. This list is of course not exhaustive.

[0046] As illustrated in [Fig.2], each cell 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d is formed from an individual box placed in the second compartment 12. The ingredients are thus packaged separately from each other, avoiding any mixing before preparing the pizza.

[0047] In this particular embodiment, each cell 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d is formed from an individual box of trapezoidal shape, the height H of the trapezoidal shape being substantially equal to the width L2 of the second compartment 12 of rectangular shape.

[0048] As seen in [Fig.l], the cells 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d are here of identical trapezoidal shape. They are placed side by side in the second compartment 12, two cells 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d side by side in the second compartment 12 having respectively two inclined sides of the trapezoidal shape adjacent.

[0049] The cells 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d are thus placed head to tail, like a puzzle, fitted into the second compartment 12. They are thus kept stable in position in the packaging box 10.

[0050] Alternatively, vertical wing-shaped separators may be provided in the second compartment 12, between each cell 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d.

[0051] Preferably, the first and second compartments 11 and 12 are made of reinforced, recyclable cardboard or paper.

[0052] The cells can be formed from food-grade plastic, suitable for coming into direct contact with food.

[0053] The cells are preferably made of a waterproof material, capable of containing wet ingredients.

[0054] In this embodiment, the ends 14, 15 of the second compartment 12 are adapted to contain other ingredients, packaged separately, such as for example ingredients packaged in sachets or small bottles: tomato sauce, hot sauce or oil, grated Emmental cheese in a sachet, etc.

[0055] As illustrated in [Fig.3], a plastic film 30 is fixed on an upper face of the packaging box 10 and extends over the first compartment 11 and the second compartment 12.

[0056] The plastic film 30 may be a transparent film typically used to seal food packaging in a watertight and airtight manner. The transparent plastic film makes it possible to view the ingredients packaged in the cells 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d when purchasing the preparation kit 1.

[0057] The plastic film 30 can extend, as here, in a single piece over the entire upper face of the packaging box 10 and be sealed in a leak-proof but detachable manner around the peripheral periphery of the packaging box 10.

[0058] Alternatively, the plastic film could be made up of several portions, and for example a portion sealed on the peripheral edge of the first compartment 11, and a second portion sealed on the edge of the second compartment 12. The preparer can thus open the two compartments 11, 12 separately.

[0059] In another embodiment, each cell 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d could be individually sealed by a plastic film around its periphery, here of trapezoidal shape.

[0060] Of course, the shape of the cells is not limiting. They could have a rectangular or square shape for example.

[0061] [Fig.4] illustrates another embodiment of a kit 1' for preparing a pizza-type pie dough.

[0062] In this other embodiment, the pizza dough 20' is raw and in a ball in the first compartment 11'.

[0063] The preparer must then roll out the pizza dough for 20 minutes, which allows him to choose the final shape or the number of pizza(s) prepared.

[0064] The first compartment 11' has the shape of a container. Here, in a playful manner, it is presented in the form of a bucket 11' with a handle 16, the bucket 11' being able to be reused after preparation of the pizza.

[0065] A cover 17 is adapted to close the container 11'.

[0066] The cover 17 can thus comprise in its thickness different cells 13' intended to separately contain various ingredients as described in the first embodiment.

[0067] For example, if the container 11' is bucket-shaped, truncated cone-shaped, the cover 17 is disc-shaped and closes the base of the truncated cone-shaped bucket.

[0068] The cells 13' can then have the shape of an angular sector, arranged next to each other, forming angular portions of the disc-shaped cover 17.

[0069] A transparent plastic film (not visible in [Fig.4]) can close the upper face of the lid 17 to allow the buyer to view the ingredients. The bucket can be made of rigid, transparent or decorated plastic.

[0070] Such a preparation kit 1' has a playful character, and is well suited to children for the preparation of an individual or family pizza.

[0071] Of course, the examples of embodiment given above are in no way limiting, in particular with regard to the shape of the containers or the type of content.
