flash freezing demonstration Yakiniku bento

This time, we will report the results of an experiment in which ``Yakiniku bento'' was frozen and thawed.

A butcher shop that is compatible with frozen meat, conducted an experiment with the idea of selling their own yakiniku bento via e-commerce.

The theme is definitely ``containers.'' Please read until the end, as we believe this will be helpful in selecting the appropriate container for making frozen yakiniku bento boxes.

Please see this article for a detailed comparison of raw meat freezers.

Now, when it comes to yakiniku bento, you need to prepare a high-quality container.

The reason is that EC sales require containers that are resistant to freezing and can be thawed in the microwave.

Daybreak can also provide detailed information about frozen packaging materials. If you would like to receive a proposal that includes packaging materials, please contact us.

This time I experimented using the container pictured here.

This container has the advantage that side dishes can be frozen separately, so side dishes can be frozen separately.

Another benefit of using the Artlock Freezer is that you can flash freezing while it's piping hot, so you can lock in the flavor and aroma of freshly baked food.

When frozen, the volume increases by 1.1 times, so depending on the type of container, you may not be able to close the lid, so you need to be careful about that, but the advantage is that the appearance after freezing will not change compared to before freezing. .

In addition, you can come up with your own ideas and express your originality when it comes to plating, so you can deliver to your customers the plating that looks great in e-commerce sales, etc.

Thawing

After storing for a week, thaw it immediately.

This time, I made a slit in the vacuum bag and thawed it in the microwave for about 3 minutes at 500W, then steamed it for about 1 minute.

If you put it in a container and store it in a vacuum, you can store it without adding bulk, and the pattern of putting it in the container also adds to the sense of luxury.

I was able to defrost it in no time and it tasted just as delicious as before freezing.

Conclusion

This time, I was able to enjoy a delicious Yakiniku bento that was frozen in the Artlock Freezer by defrosting it in the microwave.

The key is to use a container that allows you to separate the side dishes, so you can freeze the hot part of the rice with yakiniku and the side dishes that are at room temperature separately.

There are two advantages to freezing separately like this. One is that by setting the freezing time to suit each ingredient, you can freeze it in its most delicious state. Second, by dividing the work, you can do it in your spare time.

Also, if you can't separate them separately, you'll have to adjust the freezing time for rice and yakiniku, which take the longest time to freeze, including room-temperature side dishes.

On the other hand, by being able to separate them, you can put things in the same temperature range when putting them into the freezer, which allows for the same freezing time, which also helps increase the operating efficiency of the freezer.

With the spread of frozen foods in recent years, various types of containers have been released, including packaging materials that are resistant to freezing and containers that can be frozen or heated in the microwave.

Daybreak Lab not only researches ingredients, but also containers, thawing, etc.

We are conducting various research related to refrigeration. Please feel free to contact us.
