MANUFACTURING METHOD OF FROZEN FOOD ACCOMMODATED IN SHALLOW CONTAINER WITH PARTITION

To provide a manufacturing method of frozen food including a staple food and a side dish accommodated in a shallow container with a partition, with rare occurrence of heating unevenness to cause a hardened texture of the food when heated or thawed by a microwave oven.SOLUTION: The manufacturing method of frozen food comprises accommodating a staple food and a side dish in a shallow container with a partition, with a part of the staple food covered with 80 mass% or more of a sauce for the staple food from the top side and bottom side within the range of 30 mm from a side face of the partition. It is preferable that the sauce covers the staple food at a quantity ratio of 1 part by mass or more and 6 parts by mass or less at the top of the staple food relative to 1 part by mass at the bottom.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】仕切りを備えた浅形容器に主食と副食を収容した冷凍食品を電子レンジで加熱解凍した場合に食感が硬くなる加熱ムラが生じ難い冷凍食品の製造方法を提供すること。【解決手段】仕切りを備えた浅形容器に主食と副食を収容し、仕切り側面から３０ｍｍの範囲で、主食の一部を下側と上側から覆うように、主食に使用するソースの８０質量％以上で主食を被覆することを特徴とする冷凍食品の製造方法である。ソースは、主食の下側の量を１質量部とした場合、上側は、１質量部以上６質量部以下の比率になるように覆うようにすることが好ましい。【選択図】図1
