Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a material for takoyaki.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, takoyaki has been made by using an iron plate with a plurality of recesses, pouring batter into the plurality of recesses, and then putting ingredients and baking them. The ingredients for takoyaki include octopus, tempura scraps, cabbage, green onions, red pickled ginger, etc. Putting such fine ingredients into each of the plurality of recesses is very time-consuming and reduces work efficiency.

[0003] To solve such problems, various methods have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses forming a ball-shaped object in which octopus is wrapped with vegetables. When baking takoyaki, pour batter into the recesses of the iron plate and put one ball-shaped ingredient formed for each recess. The subsequent steps are the same as those for baking normal takoyaki.

[0004] Also, Patent Document 2 discloses a molded body in which ingredients are frozen together with the batter for takoyaki. When baking takoyaki, put this molded body into each recess of the iron plate, and the molded body melts due to heat and the recesses are filled with batter. The subsequent steps are the same as those for baking normal takoyaki. [[ID=2…

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] Using the technologies described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 above, multiple ingredients can be placed in the recesses in a single operation, reducing the effort required to add ingredients. Furthermore, the ingredients in each takoyaki can be made more uniform. However, even with these technologies, it is still necessary to add ingredients to multiple recesses, so the effort reduction effect is not sufficient, and there is a limit to the number of takoyaki that can be cooked simultaneously.

[0007] This invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to provide a takoyaki ingredient that reduces the effort required to put ingredients into multiple recesses on the griddle. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention is used for takoyaki that are cooked using an iron plate with multiple recesses formed therein. material Fee The device comprises a base material for holding the material, The ingredients for takoyaki are, The base material has through holes formed in positions that correspond to the positions of the plurality of recesses in the iron plate, and the material is By lowering the temperature, it solidifies into a plate-like material, and the plate-like material is The aforementioned base material The aforementioned It is provided to block the through hole. The plate-like material is placed on the iron plate together with the base material and changes to a pre-solidification state upon receiving heat from the iron plate. .

[0009] In this configuration, when the base material is placed on a takoyaki griddle, the plate-shaped material can be positioned in the recesses. When the heat from the griddle is transferred to the base material and the plate-shaped material, the plate-shaped material changes from a solidified state to a pre-solidified state. As a result, the plate-shaped material loses its support from the base material and falls into the recesses of the griddle. This allows ingredients to be placed into the recesses of multiple griddles almost simultaneously, reducing the effort required to place ingredients into each recess individually. It also allows for uniform distribution of ingredients into the recesses of each griddle.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to solve the above problems, the takoyaki material used for takoyaki baked using an iron plate having a plurality of recesses formed thereon, according to the present invention, is solidified by low temperature into a plate-like material of a size that covers the plurality of recesses of the iron plate. The plate-like material is placed on the iron plate so as to cover the plurality of recesses of the iron plate, and changes to a pre-solidification state upon receiving heat from the iron plate. .

[0011] In this configuration, when a plate-shaped material for takoyaki is placed on a takoyaki griddle, multiple recesses in the griddle are covered by the plate-shaped material. When heat from the griddle is transferred to the plate-shaped material, it changes from a solidified state to a pre-solidified state. As a result, most of the plate-shaped material falls into the recesses of the griddle. This allows the material to be placed into the recesses of multiple griddles almost simultaneously, reducing the effort required to place ingredients into each recess individually. It also allows for uniform distribution of ingredients into the recesses of each griddle.

[0012] In one preferred embodiment of the takoyaki material according to the present invention, the plate-shaped material has holes or pores formed in positions that correspond to the positions of recesses in the iron plate.

[0013] In this configuration, takoyaki ingredients not used in the plate-like material can be held in the holes or cavities. This allows the ingredients to be placed in the recesses of the iron plate together with the plate-like material. Therefore, the effort required to place ingredients in each of the multiple recesses can be reduced. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0014] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of a griddle for making takoyaki (octopus balls). [Figure 2] (a) A perspective view of the substrate holding the takoyaki ingredients in Example 1, and (b) A perspective view of the substrate holding the takoyaki ingredients. [Figure 3] This is a diagram illustrating the process of cooking takoyaki in Example 1. [Figure 4] This is a perspective view of the takoyaki ingredients in Example 2. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0015] The takoyaki material according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an iron plate A for baking takoyaki. A plurality of recesses a1 are formed in a matrix shape (3×6 in this embodiment) on the iron plate A. Further, the peripheral portion of the iron plate A is a rising portion a2 that rises upward. By forming this rising portion a2, it is possible to prevent the batter from flowing out of the iron plate A.

[0016] Normally, when baking takoyaki using such an iron plate A, batter (powder dissolved in water) is poured into the plurality of recesses a1, and ingredients such as tako, first of all, tempura scraps, and cabbage are manually placed in each recess a1. However, when the number of recesses a1 is large, such work is very time-consuming and the work efficiency decreases. Also, there is a possibility that the amount of ingredients in each takoyaki will vary. The present invention has been made to solve such problems.

[0017] The takoyaki material according to the present invention is obtained by solidifying the material used for takoyaki into a plate shape by lowering the temperature (hereinafter referred to as a plate-shaped material). containing, or the plate-like material itself That is. The material used for takoyaki includes solids such as tempura scraps, cabbage, green onions, and red ginger, as well as batter, and also includes fats and oils such as lard applied to the iron plate. In the following description, these are collectively referred to as ingredients and the like. Also, "solidification" in the present invention means a state in which fluid materials such as batter and lard are solidified, and solids such as tempura scraps and cabbage are densely bonded so as not to separate from each other. Also, lowering the temperature means placing the ingredients and the like in an environment lower than the temperature at which they solidify (hereinafter referred to as the solidification point). For example, the solidification point is 0°C or lower for batter, and about 33°C to 46°C for lard. Therefore, low temperature includes not only freezing but also refrigeration. In the present invention, it is important that this solidification point is lower than the temperature received from the iron plate A when the plate-shaped material is placed on the iron plate A. above It is important that it is lower than the temperature received from the iron plate A when placed on the iron plate A.

[0018] The plate-shaped material may be a single type of ingredient or the like, or may include a plurality of ingredients or the like. As the plurality of ingredients or the like, there may be a plurality of ingredients, or a combination of an ingredient and dough, an ingredient and oil or fat, etc. When it is difficult to solidify with only the ingredients, it is preferable to include a little dough as a binder.

Example

[0019] Using Fig. 2, the takoyaki material in this example Fee will be described. In this example The ingredients for takoyaki are, plate-shaped material 1 and , is the base material B shown in Fig. 2(a) and, equipped . A plurality of through-holes b1 are formed in the base material B The plate-shaped material 1 is held in the through hole b1. . These through-holes b1 are formed at positions that match the positions of the plurality of recesses a1 on the iron plate A. Therefore, when the base material B is placed on the iron plate A, the through-holes b1 are located directly above the recesses a1. In this example, the same number of through-holes b1 as the recesses a1 on the iron plate A are provided, but even if there are a plurality, it may be less than the number of recesses a1. Since the base material B is used by being placed on the iron plate A, the base material B is formed from a heat-resistant material. The material of the heat-resistant material is not particularly limited, and any material that does not melt due to the heat of the iron plate A and has no problem even when in contact with food is acceptable.

[0020] In this example Plate-shaped material 1 is a disk-shaped to solidified with a diameter substantially the same as the inner diameter of the through-hole b1 of the base material B. As shown in Fig. 2(b), the solidified plate-shaped material 1 is supported by the base material B so as to block the plurality of through-holes b1 of the base material B. Further, each plate-shaped material 1 has a hole 11 (through-hole) or a hole 11 (bottomed recess) formed therein. Materials not included in the plate-shaped material 1 can be placed in these holes 11 and holes 11. When placing octopus, either the hole 11 or the hole 11 may be used as long as the diameter prevents the octopus from falling. On the other hand, when placing fine ingredients such as octopus scraps, a larger hole 11 is preferable.

[0021] Next, the takoyaki material in this example FeeThe manufacturing method is described below. Here, the plate-shaped material 1 contains ingredients other than octopus, such as tempura scraps and cabbage. First, the base material B is placed on a flat plate. At this time, the bottom of the through-hole b1 is blocked by the flat plate, forming a recess. The ingredients mentioned above are then placed into this recess. At this time, if the ingredients are not sufficiently in contact with each other or with the base material B, they may not solidify sufficiently even when cooled to a low temperature, or the plate-shaped material 1 may not be supported by the base material B. In such cases, it is preferable to add a small amount of dough or similar material to connect the ingredients or with the base material B. By cooling the material below the solidification point in this state, a disc-shaped plate-shaped material 1 is completed, held in the through-hole b1 of the base material B.

[0022] When using lard as the plate-like material 1, the melted lard is poured into the recess formed by the through-hole b1 and the flat plate. Then, by cooling it to below the solidification point of the lard (lowering the temperature), a disc-shaped plate-like material 1 is completed, which is held in the through-hole b1 of the base material B.

[0023] When forming holes 11 in the plate-like material 1, an instrument having a shape suitable for these shapes can be placed in the through-hole 11 prior to the material, or pressed into the material that has been placed in the through-hole 11 while it is still solidifying.

[0024] Next, a method for making takoyaki using the takoyaki material according to the present invention will be explained using Figure 3. First, as shown in Figure 3(a), a plate-shaped material 1 is prepared in a state where it is held by a base material B, and octopus 2 is placed in each of the holes 11. Meanwhile, oil is spread in the recess a1 of the iron plate A, and batter 3 is poured into the recess a1. Then, as shown in Figure 3(b), the base material B holding the plate-shaped material 1 is placed on the iron plate A. As a result, the plate-shaped material 1 receives heat from the iron plate A, and its temperature gradually rises. Since the plate-shaped material 1 is solidified at low temperatures, when its temperature rises above its solidification point, it returns to its state before solidification. That is, in the case of solid matter, it breaks apart, and in the case of batter or oils such as lard, it becomes a liquid. When it reaches this state, as shown in Figure 3(c), the plate-shaped material 1 is no longer held by the base material B and falls into the batter 3 in the recess a1 of the iron plate A. Once all of the plate-shaped material 1 has fallen, the base material B is removed. After that, the process is the same as for making regular takoyaki.

[0025] If the plate-shaped material 1 contains oil or dough, the above steps should be adjusted accordingly. Also, although the plate-shaped material 1 was formed with ingredients (and dough if necessary) here, it can also be formed with dough only. In this case, a recess 11 can be formed in the plate-shaped material 1, and ingredients such as octopus can be placed in it, allowing multiple ingredients to be placed together in the recess.

[0026] Thus, by using the takoyaki ingredients according to this embodiment, the ingredients can be added to multiple recesses a1 of the griddle A almost simultaneously, thus reducing the amount of work involved. Furthermore, the amount of ingredients in each takoyaki can be made uniform. [Examples]

[0027] In this embodiment, the takoyaki ingredients are solidified as a single plate-like material 4, as shown in Figure 4. In other words, the base material B in Embodiment 1 is also formed from the ingredients. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the plate-like material 4 has holes 41 formed at positions that match the positions of the recesses a1 in the iron plate A. In this embodiment, the size of the plate-like material 4 is approximately the same as the inner dimensions of the raised portion a2 of the iron plate A. By making the plate-like material 4 this size, it becomes easy to position the plate-like material 4 on the iron plate A. This makes it easier to position the holes 41 on the recesses a1 of the iron plate A when the plate-like material 4 is placed on the iron plate A. The dashed lines in the figure represent the position of the periphery of the recesses a1 when the plate-like material 4 is placed on the iron plate A.

[0028] Next, the method for manufacturing the plate-shaped material 4 in this embodiment will be described. The manufacturing method in this embodiment is the same as in Embodiment 1 in terms of solidification, etc. However, in Embodiment 1, the shape of the plate-shaped material 1 was defined by the through-holes b1 of the base material B, but in this embodiment, since base material B is not used, it is necessary to use a container that defines the shape of the plate-shaped material 4. Such a container can be any container with a bottom and side walls, such as a tray. In such a container, the ingredients, dough, lard, etc. as shown in Embodiment 1 are added as needed. At this time, it is preferable to level the contents as much as possible. Then, the plate-shaped material 4 is formed by lowering the temperature of the container. If holes 41 or pores 41 are to be formed in the plate-shaped material 4, the steps shown in Embodiment 1 should be added.

[0029] Next, the method for cooking takoyaki in this embodiment will be explained. First, if necessary, oil is applied to the recess a1 of the griddle A, and the batter is poured in. Then, the plate-shaped material 4 is placed on top of the griddle A. At this time, the plate-shaped material 4 is positioned by the raised portion a2 of the griddle A, so the holes 41 of the plate-shaped material 4 are located above the recess a1 of the griddle A.

[0030] The plate-shaped material 4 receives heat from the iron plate, and its temperature gradually rises. Since the plate-shaped material 4 is solidified at low temperatures, when its temperature rises above its solidification point, it returns to its pre-solidification state. That is, in the case of solid materials, it breaks apart, and in the case of dough or fats such as lard, it becomes a liquid. In this embodiment, most of the material that returns to its pre-solidification state falls into the recess a1 of the iron plate A, but some of it may remain outside the recess a1 of the iron plate A. In this case, the material remaining outside the recess a1 can be manually pushed into the recess a1. After that, the process is the same as for making regular takoyaki.

[0031] Thus, using the takoyaki ingredients according to this embodiment, although slightly inferior to the takoyaki ingredients in Example 1 in terms of reducing the effort required to add ingredients and ensuring uniformity of ingredients, it provides a sufficient improvement compared to conventional takoyaki cooking methods.

[0032] [Another embodiment] (1) In the above-described Example 1, the base material and in Example 2, the plate-shaped material 4 were large enough to cover the entire iron plate A, but they may be smaller as long as they cover the multiple recesses a1 of the iron plate A.

[0033] (2) In the above embodiment, holes or pores were formed in the plate-like material, but it is not necessary to form them. [Industrial applicability]
