[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing takoyaki and an improvement of a takoyaki production apparatus used for the method.

[0002]

[Prior art example] In the conventional takoyaki manufacturing method, one piece of heating template having a large number of hemispherical recesses is used to first insert the takoyaki dough, octopus, and ingredients, and then add the dough to it. Then, using a single plate takoyaki method that completes the spherical takoyaki by rounding and baking one by one with a drill or skewer, and using two heating template plates with the same number of hemispherical recesses formed at the same position , Spherical takoyaki is completed by baking takoyaki in hemispheres on both heating templates, and then stacking both heating templates.
Single plate takoyaki method, using two heating templates with the same number of bell-shaped recesses and flat templates in the same position, and after baking the bells with both heating templates, flat template There is a method of transferring to a plate and completing a hanging bell type takoyaki. In addition, in the hanging bell type takoyaki, the hanging bell type takoyaki takes time and the center part is There is a problem that it is difficult to burn, and when the water of the takoyaki dough or octopus etc. is baked, it flies off and becomes hard and the taste deteriorates.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned one-plate takoyaki method, the spherical takoyaki is produced by using the hemispherical recess of one heating template. , There is no problem with the first hemisphere, but it is difficult to burn the remaining hemisphere, and it is necessary to turn the first baked hemisphere and the remaining hemisphere upside down.
In addition to being skilled in this, one heating template can cover two hemispheres.
Since it has to be baked, there is an unsolved problem that the manufacturing time becomes long.

Further, in the two-plate takoyaki method, since the takoyaki hemispheres are baked by both heating templates, the manufacturing time can be halved compared to the one-plate takoyaki method. , It is necessary to complete the spherical takoyaki by stacking the two heating templates together and combining the hemispherical parts burned with both heating templates, but if you put them together in a state where the center is not burnt, it will be burned. The center part that is not open will pop out to the outside, but if you bake the center part enough to prevent this, when you join the hemispheres, they will separate and the spherical takoyaki will be separated. There are conflicting problems that they cannot be completed, and there is an unsolved problem that spherical takoyaki cannot be easily baked.

Therefore, the present invention has been made by paying attention to the unsolved problems of the above-mentioned conventional examples, and a method for producing takoyaki which enables even an inexperienced person to bake takoyaki easily and in a short time. The purpose is to provide a device for use.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the method for producing takoyaki according to claim 1 is the first, second and third heating molds in which the same number of hemispherical recesses are formed at the same position. Using a plate and a flat mold plate that covers the heating mold plate, apply oil to each recess in the first heating mold plate in a heated state at a predetermined temperature, and then insert a takoyaki dough, a tool, or the like, Then, the heated flat template is placed on the first heating template for a short time to heat the takoyaki dough on the upper surface side, and at the same time as this, the takoyaki dough is placed on the second heating template. After placing ingredients such as octopus on the plate for a predetermined period of time, cover the second heating template with the first heating template to make a spherical takoyaki, and then on the third heating template. It is characterized in that it covers the heating plate of No. 3 and delivers the spherical takoyaki to the third heating template, and takes out the takoyaki on the second heating plate as a product. .

Further, the takoyaki manufacturing apparatus according to claim 2 is
A flat template, a first heating template, a second heating template and a third heating template are arranged side by side on the heating table in that order, and the flat template has the first fulcrum as its center. The first heating template is arranged so as to be rotatable to a position covering the upper surface of the first heating template,
Is rotatably arranged to the second heating template position about the fulcrum, and the second heating template is rotatable to the first heating template side about the second fulcrum. Further, the third heating die plate is rotatably disposed on the third heating die plate side around a third fulcrum, and the third heating die plate is rotated to the second heating die plate side about the third fulcrum. It is characterized in that it is movably arranged.

Further, the takoyaki manufacturing apparatus according to claim 3 is

An engagement selection unit that selects whether the first engagement unit is engaged with the second fulcrum or the second engagement unit is engaged with the third fulcrum. Is characterized by.

[0009]

In the method and apparatus for producing takoyaki according to claims 1 and 2, when the hemispherical portion of takoyaki is baked by the first heating template, the top surface thereof is covered with the heated flat template for a short time. Since the upper surface side of the hemisphere can be thinly baked, the hemisphere on the first heating template is combined on the hemisphere baked by the second heating template even if the inside is in a molten state. When doing so, it is possible to prevent the central part of the hemisphere on the first heating template from spilling out to the outside, and to accurately combine them, and transfer the combined takoyaki to the third heating template. From the outside. Therefore, in the first heating template, by passing the hemispherical portion to the second heating template, the work of baking the next hemisphere can be started, and the second heating template also has a spherical shape. By passing the combined portion to the third heating template, it is possible to start the operation of baking the next hemispherical portion and combining them, thereby significantly improving the production efficiency of takoyaki.

Further, in the takoyaki manufacturing apparatus of claim 3, when the second heating template is received from the first heating template in the hemispherical portion, the engagement selecting section selects the second fulcrum. This enables the second heating template to be rotated toward the first heating template, facilitating the transfer of the hemispherical portion from the first heating template, and the combined spherical portion to the third heating template. When delivering to the template, the second heating template can be rotated toward the third heating template side by selecting the third fulcrum by the engagement selecting section, and the second heating template can be moved to the third heating template. It is easy to transfer the spherical body to the heating template of No. 3.

Next, a method for producing takoyaki using the takoyaki production apparatus 1 will be described. First, the heating mechanism of the heating table 2 is controlled to heat at least the first and second heating mold plates 4 and 5 to a predetermined temperature, and in this state, each concave portion 7 of the first heating mold plate 4 is After applying the oil, 2/5 of the takoyaki dough is inserted, and then a predetermined ingredient or the like is put to smooth the surface, and then the takoyaki dough is further inserted 2/5.

During this time, the flat plate 3 is heated to a predetermined temperature, for example, for 2 minutes, and the flat plate 3 after heating is gripped 14
The support shafts 10 of the support brackets B _{11 and} B ₁₂ ,
It is rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise about 11 as a fulcrum and placed on the upper surface of the first heating template 4 to close the concave portions 7 of the second heating template 4, for example, about 15 seconds. After a lapse of time, the flat template 3 is rotated clockwise by 180 degrees to return to the original position.

As described above, the flat heating plate 3 is used for the first heating printing plate 4.
By covering the upper surface of the concave portion 7 of the concave portion 7, the surface of the takoyaki dough disposed on the upper side in the concave portion 7 can be thinly baked and leaks to the outside even if the internal dough and ingredients are in a molten state. It is possible to prevent this.

After that, oil is applied to the second heating template 5 which is heated to a predetermined temperature, and then the takoyaki dough is placed in the concave portion 2.
After inserting about / 3, place the ingredients such as octopus one by one and put the remaining hemispheres in the baked state.

After that, the second heating template 4 is maintained in a heated state for 3 minutes, and then each hemispherical body in the concave portion 7 is slightly moved to be in a peelable state. In this state, the second heating template 4 is heated. The left grip 41L of the template 5 is gripped together with the gripping piece 40L. As a result, the engagement selection section 40 moves to the left, and in response to this, the rotation arm 39 rotates clockwise when viewed from the plane, whereby the sliding body 37 moves to the right and the engagement section on the right end side thereof. 35 engages with the lower surface side of the support shaft 10 of the support bracket B ₂₁ .

In this state, the supporting bracket B ₂₁ is supported by the U-shaped engaging portion 31 of the right engaging piece 32 attached to the second heating template 4 and the engaging portion 35 of the sliding body 37. Since the shaft 10 is enclosed, the second heating template 5 is in a state of being rotatable in the clockwise direction with the support shaft 10 of the support brackets B ₂₁ and B ₂₂ as a fulcrum.

On the other hand, when the sliding body 37 moves to the right,
Since the engagement portion 36 on the left end side retreats from the position facing the lower surface of the support shaft 10 of the support bracket B ₃₁ to the right, the engagement state of the support bracket B _{31 with} the support shaft 10 is released. It

Therefore, the left hand grip 41L and the gripping piece 4
By moving the left hand grip 41L upward while continuing the grip state of 0L, the second heating template 5 can be rotated counterclockwise.

Therefore, the second heating die plate 5 is rotated counterclockwise, for example, by 30 degrees, and in this state, the first heating die plate 4 is gripped by the grip 17, and the support bracket B ₂₁ ,

In this state, the support bracket B ₃₁ is supported by the U-shaped engaging portion 31 of the left engaging piece 32 attached to the second heating template 4 and the engaging portion 36 of the sliding body 37. As the shaft 10 is enclosed, the second heating template 5 becomes rotatable in the counterclockwise direction with the support shaft 10 of the support brackets B ₃₁ and B ₃₂ as the fulcrum.

On the other hand, when the sliding body 37 moves to the left,
Since the engaging portion 35 of the right end side is to retreat rightward from the lower surface opposed to the position of the support shaft 10 of the support bracket B _21, engagement between the support shaft 10 of the support bracket B ₂₁ is released It

Therefore, the right hand grip 41R and the gripping piece 4
The second heating template 5 can be rotated in the clockwise direction by moving the right hand grip 41R upward while continuing the gripping state of 0R.

For this reason, the third heating template 6 is rotated clockwise, for example, by 30 degrees about the support shafts 10 and 11 of the support brackets B ₃₁ and B ₃₂ as fulcrums, and the second heating template 5 is rotated.
By rotating the counterclockwise, for example, 150 degrees,
The recess 7 of the second heating template 4 can be covered on the recess 7 of the third heating template 6, and the spherical body in the recess 7 of the second heating template 5 can be covered with the third heating template 6. It can be delivered into the recess 7 of the.
