Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention uses decorations such as bamboo, tree leaves, shells, and seaweed that are used to decorate food presentations as a cold storage means to maintain the freshness of the food and maintain the appropriate umami temperature. This invention relates to the disclosure of a cold-retaining decorative device that effectively guarantees the retention of food without causing inconveniences such as sagging of food, loss of flavor, and changes in the composition of fleshy parts.

Therefore, in the past, this type of presentation was done by cooling the food, etc., by placing ice, etc. on a plate, and then arranging sashimi, arai, oysters, etc., and then adding bamboo, leaves, seaweed, shellfish, etc. It was designed to be treated.

However, in such cooling serving method, the ice spread over time will melt over time, and if it is served directly, this will seep into the food, resulting in sagging of the food or changes in the meat composition. At the same time, the presentation of food takes away the unique flavor and liveliness of the food.

Furthermore, when the ice is melted, water accumulates in the plate, which seriously impairs the taste of the food and also poses a problem in terms of food hygiene.

The decorative device that also serves as a cold storage device according to the present invention has been previously used.
It was specially devised in view of the inconveniences caused by food plating, and the decoration on the surface of the food plate can immediately achieve the cold preservation function. It is designed to eliminate the need for food, improve efficiency through repeated reuse, and eliminate all inconveniences to food when serving melted water. The top surface of a closed container with a suitable cooling medium liquid sealed therein is imitated with the shape, color, etc. of a natural object, and the bottom surface of the container is placed at a point that curves and bulges inward, The following specific examples and considerable design changes accompanying these examples are planned.

A typical embodiment of the cooling decorative device according to the present invention will be described below. A is a flat cooling container imitating a natural object, and is basically used for decoration, and is designed to imitate the shapes of various natural objects. For example, it is designed to have the shape and dimensions of bamboo for serving sashimi, shells for serving fish and shellfish, and seaweed.

A cooling container a having the shape and dimensions as shown in FIG. , the gap 3 is a completely sealed gap, and an appropriate cooling medium liquid 5 is sealed in the gap 3.

In addition, these containers a are made of synthetic resin material in order to prevent damage, especially tearing and deformation of the expanded surface, due to the increase in volume due to the condensation of the filling liquid 5. It is generally a material that does not cause problems in terms of food hygiene because its components do not flow out, and is mass-produced using a blow or rotational molding method using a material with excellent heat and cold resistance.

The first side of the plate thus constructed has the shape and pattern of a natural object, etc., and is appropriately colored, and the second side of the plate is curved toward the inside of the gap 3.
It is configured to bulge out.

Furthermore, various shapes required for decoration, such as the handle of a tree leaf and the periphery of a seashell, have been added to these containers a.

In addition, although natural water is generally planned to be used as the cooling medium liquid 5 sealed in the container a, it may be used especially for the purpose of increasing the cooling capacity or when increasing the cooling capacity. It is planned to be used for enclosing liquids with a low condensation temperature range under aqueous salt conditions.

Furthermore, in sealing the liquid 5 in the container a, consideration was given to leaving a gap in the gap 3 corresponding to the increase in volume that will be changed when the liquid 5 condenses. , to ensure that there is no room for deformation, rupture, or other damage to the container a.

The container a according to the present invention has the characteristic structure described above, and the increase in volume upon condensation of the cooling medium liquid 5 sealed in the container is first bulged downward in the lower plate 2. The filling liquid 5 is made to be absorbed by the filling liquid 5, and the filling liquid 5 is absorbed secondarily by the remaining voids, and finally absorbed by the elongation of the constituent material of the container a.

Therefore, no matter how the sealed liquid 5 in the container a is placed, there is no fear that the surface of the container a will bulge, or that the entire container a will become distorted or expand and explode. At the same time, this eliminates the problem of staining due to surface cracks caused by excessive expansion and contraction of the material of container a.

The cooling decoration device according to the present invention has the above-mentioned characteristic structure, and by placing it on a saucer or the like at the same time as food, the decoration and presentation can cool the food.

In particular, in such a method, there is no ice involved for cooling, so the plated sashimi, arai, shellfish or fruit,
This method reliably prevents sagging of these foods, changes in the composition of fleshy parts, loss of flavor, especially the phenomenon of food becoming "watery", and loss of aroma without impairing the freshness of vegetables, etc.
