Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a microwave oven-use grilled rice ball manufacturing tool and a grilled rice ball manufacturing method, and more specifically, to a method for manufacturing grilled rice balls using a microwave oven. This article relates to ingredients and a method for producing grilled rice balls using a microwave oven.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) Generally, grilled rice balls are made in restaurants using open flames such as charcoal or gas, but the rice balls are cooked with just the right amount of browning so as not to spoil the taste or appearance. It is surprisingly difficult to brown the meat, and in order to achieve such a moderate browning, it is necessary to bake over low heat, which means that it takes time to finish.

Therefore, in the past, such grilled rice balls were rarely manufactured at home.

For example, it is possible to make grilled rice balls in a frying pan, but in this case, it is possible to brown the rice balls and make them look like grilled rice balls, but depending on the frying pan, in reality, it is possible to make rice balls. The inside of the food was not heated, so only the surface was warm and the inside was cold, making it impossible to obtain anything that could be eaten.

In view of these points, the present invention has been developed to make the above-mentioned grilled rice balls very easily at home.
Furthermore, the purpose is to enable manufacturing in an extremely short period of time.

(Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve this purpose, the present invention
Focusing on the fact that microwave ovens have become popular in recent years, we developed an electronic microwave oven based on a completely new technological idea of using it for browning rice balls instead of the microwave oven that is generally used only for heating food. It was developed as a microwave oven-use grilled rice ball manufacturing tool and a grilled rice ball manufacturing method.The characteristics of the microwave oven grilled rice ball manufacturing tool include a rice ball 1 formed into a desired shape, and a rice ball 1 provided on at least one side of the rice ball 1. In addition, the method for producing grilled rice balls is characterized by the fact that the heating element 2, which can be heated in a microwave oven, is formed into a desired shape. The rice ball 1 is placed in a microwave oven in contact with at least one side of the rice ball 1, and then the microwave oven is operated to heat the rice ball 1, and at the same time, the heating element 2 is made to generate heat and comes into contact with the heating element 2. The purpose is to produce rice balls 1 by adding brown marks 7 on the sides.

(Function) That is, when the microwave oven grilled rice ball manufacturing tool having such a configuration is stored in a microwave oven and heated, the heating element generates heat due to the microwaves generated in the microwave oven, and the heating element generates heat. Due to the heat generated, at least one side of the rice ball that is in contact with the heating element is browned, and the rice ball itself is also heated by the microwave, so that the rice ball is heated to the inside. It is possible to produce grilled rice balls that are almost the same as when grilled over an open flame.

(Example) Hereinafter, regarding an example of the present invention, a rice ball for a microwave oven as an example will first be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a rice ball, FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a heating element with the middle omitted, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a rice ball making tool for use in a microwave oven as an embodiment of the present invention.

In Figures 1 to 3, 1 is a triangular shaped rice ball, 2 is a sheet-like heating element for browning the rice ball 1, and is made of paper 3 and ultra-thin aluminum with a thickness of about 50 Å. It is constructed by integrating three layers: layer 4 and film 5 made of polyethylene terephthalate.

By covering the entire circumferential surface of the rice ball 1 with the sheet-like heating element 2, a fried rice ball manufacturing tool 6 for use in a microwave oven as shown in FIG. 3 is constructed.

Next, a method for manufacturing grilled rice balls as an example of the present invention will be described.

That is, first, the entire circumferential surface of the rice ball 1 formed into a triangular shape as shown in FIG. 1 is covered with a heating element 2 having the above structure as shown in FIG. A grilled rice ball manufacturing tool 6 for use in a microwave oven is manufactured.

Next, such a fried rice ball making tool 6 for microwave oven is stored in a microwave oven (not shown), and in this state, the microwave oven is turned on to heat the fried rice ball making tool 6 for microwave oven.

In this case, the entire circumferential surface of the rice grip 1 is covered with a heating element 2 composed of three layers, the above-mentioned paper 3, an aluminum layer, and a film 5 made of polyethylene terephthalate, so that the heating element 2 and the rice grip 1 are connected to each other. Since they are in contact with each other, when the microwave fried rice ball making tool 6 is heated in the microwave, the heating element 2 generates heat, thereby causing the rice ball 1 that is in contact with the heating element 2 to become browned 7. will be added.

Therefore, when the rice ball 6 for microwave oven is taken out from the microwave oven after heating and the heating element 2 is removed from the rice ball 1, as shown in FIG.
A grilled rice ball 8 with brown marks 7 on each side is produced.

Furthermore, since the rice ball 1 itself is heated in a microwave oven, a grilled rice ball that is warm even inside the rice ball 1 can be obtained, and the texture of the rice ball is not impaired.

In this way, in the above embodiment, it became possible to produce browned rice balls in a microwave oven without grilling the rice balls over an open flame. Therefore, it has become possible to produce grilled rice balls very easily and in a short time even at home.

In the above embodiment, the rice grip 1 is covered with the heating element 2 and the heating element 2 is brought into contact with the entire circumferential surface of the rice grip 1, but the heating element 2 does not necessarily need to be in contact with the entire peripheral surface of the rice grip 1. do not have. In short, it is sufficient that the heating element 2 is provided in contact with at least one side of the rice grip 1.

Further, the material of the heating element 2 is not limited to the three-layer structure of the paper 3, the aluminum layer 4, and the film 5 made of polyethylene terephthalate as in the embodiment. In short, the material may be any material as long as it can generate heat in a microwave oven.

Furthermore, the shape of the heating element 2 does not matter;
Further, the material is not limited to a sheet-like material as in this embodiment.

Furthermore, if the contact surface between the rice ball 1 and the heating element 2 is coated with edible oil such as salad oil, there is an advantage that the brown marks 7 can be formed evenly and neatly.

(Effects of the Invention) (a) As described above, the present invention comprises a microwave oven fried rice ball making tool in which a heating element capable of generating heat in a microwave oven is brought into contact with at least one side of the rice ball; In addition, by heating this in a microwave oven, at least one side of the rice ball that comes into contact with the heating element is browned to produce grilled rice balls, so it is not possible to use a microwave oven originally used to heat food. This has resulted in the ability to produce grilled rice balls, an effect that could not have been predicted in the past.

As a result, there is a remarkable effect that grilled rice balls, which were conventionally produced mainly at restaurants, can be produced at home very easily and in a short time.

(b) Furthermore, since the rice ball itself is heated to the inside by a microwave oven, for example, when using a frying pan, the rice may be unevenly browned on the surface but still cold on the inside. It has the advantage that it does not become a finished product and does not impair the texture of the grilled rice ball.

(c) Furthermore, since a microwave oven is used, grilled rice balls can be easily manufactured even when the rice balls are frozen, and therefore, a large number of microwave grilled rice ball making utensils configured as described above can be frozen. You can store it and sell it on the market as needed, or you can eat grilled rice balls at home.
