Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a method for producing grilled fish such as saury. [Background technology]

[0002] Fish bones are a nuisance when eating for the elderly and children, so there is a need to soften the bones as well. The most common methods for softening fish such as saury are to boil them for a long time or to boil them in a pressure cooker.

[0003] The above method involves boiling, so there are some issues with the flavor when it comes to saury, which is a type of blue fish. The best way to eat saury is grilled. The Edomae way is to eat salt-grilled saury with grated daikon radish, including the entrails. There is also a way to cook saury, by boiling it, but it cannot compete with the grilled method. Fishermen have long said about the best way to eat fish: "First, grill, second, raw, third, cooked." This means that grilled fish is the most delicious, then raw (sashimi), and finally cooked (boiled) fish. Fish is best grilled, and grilling is the best way to eat blue fish like saury.

[0004] As a method for improving these problems, the inventor proposed the grilled fish processing method described in Patent Document 1. In this method, the fish is grilled for a long period of time, from 3 to 5 hours, at a low ambient temperature of 100°C to 130°C, until it becomes soft even down to the bone. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 proposes a method for producing fish with soft bones by wrapping fresh fish or fish that has been grilled once in a moisture-permeable material, placing it in a container, and treating it with pressurized steam. Patent document 3 also proposes setting a covered grill pan (cooking container) with fish placed on the grill on the grill of a gas stove, and cooking the fish while allowing steam inside the grill pan to escape through exhaust holes in the grill pan.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5307657 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 63-44869 [Patent Document 3] JP 2006-450 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The grilled fish processing method of Patent Document 1 requires a long grilling time, so when considering mass production, it is necessary to shorten the grilling time. The method of producing fish with soft bones in Patent Document 2 involves steaming the fish, not grilling the fish. When fish is grilled on a grill like that of Patent Document 3, oil comes out of the fish and falls to the bottom of the grill pan. If the grill pan continues to be heated with the oil pooling directly on the bottom of the grill pan, the oil becomes hot and there is a risk of fire. For this reason, unless the grill is one that forcibly cools the bottom of the grill pan, it is common to put water in the grill pan before grilling fish. However, in Patent Document 3, the grill pan is heated not only by the upper burner but also by the lower burner, so the risk of fire is extremely high. Therefore, even in Patent Document 3, water must be put in the grill pan, and the fish is steamed. To provide a method for producing grilled fish that can reduce the grilling time compared to the conventional method, without steaming, and that prevents the flesh of the grilled fish from falling apart and the surface of the grilled fish from cracking. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The method for producing grilled fish of the present invention involves heating fish in a covered container, and is characterized in that fish is placed in the container without adding water to the container, the container is heated so that the ambient temperature of the fish is within the range of 100°C or higher and 120°C or lower, and the inside of the container is kept pressurized to a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure within the range of 50.7 kPa or higher and less than 101.3 kPa, while grilling the fish without boiling the moisture inside the fish and the moisture attached to the surface of the fish. The pressure inside the container is desirably 81.0 kPa higher than atmospheric pressure. It is also preferable that the container has a space below the fish, allowing moisture flowing out of the fish during grilling to fall into the space and preventing the moisture that falls into the space from coming into contact with the fish. Also, the means for heating the container is preferably an electric oven. Effect of the Invention

[0006] By adopting the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention can provide a method for producing grilled fish that shortens the grilling time compared to conventional methods, does not involve steaming, and does not cause the flesh of the grilled fish to fall apart or the surface of the grilled fish to break. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a container for holding fish 6, which is composed of a container body 2 and a lid 3. Reference numeral 4 denotes a grill installed in the container body 2, reference numeral 5 denotes a space formed below the grill 3, and reference numeral 6 denotes a pressure valve provided on the lid 2. For convenience, Fig. 1 shows a state in which only one fish 7 is set in the container 1, but in terms of mass production, it is desirable that the container 1 be large enough to hold at least several tens of fish 6.

[0009] Next, the manufacturing process of grilled fish will be explained. First, adjust the temperature of an electric oven (not shown) to a temperature slightly higher than 120°C. The reason for using an electric oven is that it is less prone to temperature variations compared to a gas oven and is therefore better suited to maintaining a constant temperature.

[0010] Once the oven temperature has stabilized, place the container 1 containing the fish 7 in the oven. Heat is transferred to the fish 7 through the container 1, and over time the fish becomes grilled. Before placing the fish 7 in the container 1, any moisture on the surface of the fish 7 is thoroughly wiped off, and no water is added to the container 1. This is because adding water will cause the fish 7 to be boiled or steamed, causing the flesh of the fish 7 to fall apart.

[0011] The most important point in the present invention is to prevent the water in the container from boiling under conditions of a temperature higher than the boiling point of water and under a pressurized environment. Even if the temperature around the fish 7 is low, if the pressure (pressurized state) in the container is too high, the water coming out of the fish 7 will boil. If the water coming out of the fish 7 boils while adhering to the surface, the fish 7 will appear to be boiled or the skin will burst. Also, even if the water coming out of the fish 7 is allowed to fall into the space 5, if the water that has fallen boils, the steam will cause the fish 7 to be steamed.

[0012] In order to prevent the above-mentioned situation from occurring, the present invention optimizes the temperature around the fish 7 and the pressure (pressurized state) inside the container. The optimal temperature is within the temperature range of 100°C or higher and 120°C or lower, and the optimal pressure (pressurized state) at that time is within the pressure range of 50.7 kPa or higher but lower than 101.3 kPa, where the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa, and is higher than the atmospheric pressure. This method allows fish to be grilled at a low temperature so that the flesh does not fall apart, while at the same time shortening the grilling time compared to conventional methods due to the pressurized state. The temperature around the fish can be precisely controlled by attaching a temperature sensor nearby. The pressure inside the container can be controlled by allowing the internal pressure to escape naturally from the container or by providing a pressure valve. The pressure inside the container can be measured, for example, by attaching a pressure gauge to the lid (atmospheric gauge pressure is 0 kPa). In addition, because the heating temperature is around 100°C to 120°C, there is almost no risk of the oil released by the fish catching fire. EXAMPLES EXAMPLES

[0013] Ten pacific saury, each about 30 cm long, were placed on the grill of a container with a lid, and placed in a preheated electric oven. The temperature of the electric oven was then adjusted so that the temperature around the pacific saury was about 110°C, and the pacific saury was heated in a pressurized state in the container, with the pressure inside the container being about 81 kPa higher than atmospheric pressure. As a result, the pacific saury was grilled in about two hours. When the grilled pacific saury was removed from the container, the flesh had not fallen apart and the skin was not torn.

[0014] <Comparative Example 1> Ten pacific saury fish, each about 30 cm long, were placed on the grill of the container without a lid, and then placed in a preheated electric oven. The temperature of the electric oven was then adjusted so that the temperature around the pacific saury was about 110°C, and the pacific saury was heated. As a result, it took about four hours for the pacific saury to be cooked. The cooked pacific saury was removed from the container, but like the above example, the flesh did not fall apart, and the skin was not torn.

[0015] The subject of the present invention is suitable for fish with many small bones such as pacific saury, sardines, sweetfish, rainbow trout, etc. It can also be used to process dried fish such as filleted horse mackerel. Bones are formed by the deposition of calcium phosphate on the bone matrix, which is 90% collagen and 10% non-collagen. When cooked, some of the triple helices of collagen molecules loosen and denature into gelatin. The denaturation temperature of fish is lower than human body temperature. Collagen becomes soft when heated. In the processing method of the present invention, the fish is baked at a low ambient temperature of 100°C to 130°C, and the bone part is heated at a low temperature of about 70°C to 90°C, so that the collagen, which is the bone matrix, is denatured into gelatin and softened in a moist state without allowing moisture to escape, resulting in softening of the bone. The method of the present invention can be said to be an application of the principle of low-temperature heating cooking, which has recently attracted attention, to baking cooking. A simple method of low-temperature cooking is to heat and boil the fish, keep it warm with insulation, and leave it for a long time such as 5 hours, which can soften the fish even to the bone. Electric pots that apply this principle are also available. Even the elderly and children can easily eat the saury grilled by the method of the present invention, including the bone. The head of the saury is difficult to eat, but it is still edible. The flavor is excellent because it is a cooking method that involves grilling the fish. It is much tastier than processing methods that involve long-term boiling or boiling in a pressure cooker. There is less of the fishy smell that is unique to blue fish. I brought it in my lunch box and ate it, and the flavor did not change. In addition to eating it as is, it is also delicious as tempura. Furthermore, by adding a process of attaching grain flour as a pre-treatment before grilling, it is possible to produce even more delicious pot-grilled saury that prevents the loss of nutrients and contains the right amount of moisture. When the attached wheat flour (strong flour) is grilled, the gluten hardens and forms a thin film that does not let nutrients and moisture escape, thereby preventing the escape of nutrients and moisture. Pacific saury is caught in large quantities in a short period of time, and when it is overfished, consumption cannot keep up, causing the price to collapse. This can be addressed by processing and preserving it using the method of this invention. Pacific saury is an important food resource, rich in DHA, EPA, etc., which prevent lifestyle-related diseases. [Explanation of symbols]
