ことが可能となる。A heater 9 disposed inside the partition 8
In the preservation function, in order to prevent the temperature from dropping due to the undershoot in the temperature range other than the freezing temperature range, the heater 9 is heated to ensure the temperature. In the case of the storage function, it is preferable to use a switching function so that not only one temperature zone but also several types of temperature zones can be selected. In the case of the freeze-thaw cooking function, the cool air generated by the refrigerating cycle (not shown) and discharged from the cool air discharge port 7 through the ventilation passage 5 by effectively utilizing the cooling method, configuration, and heating means at the time of the storage function. Thus, the food intended for freezing and thawing cooking can be frozen, and is thawed by the heater 9 disposed inside the partition 8. Further, by switching to the preservation function after the freeze-thaw cooking function is completed, the frozen-thawed food can be frozen at about -18 ° C, slightly frozen at about -3 ° C, ice temperature at about -1 ° C, and chilled. It can be cooled and stored at a temperature zone of about 1 ° C, refrigeration, a vegetable temperature zone of about 4 ° C, a wine storage temperature zone of about 8 ° C, and the like.

た伝熱板11の熱は食品10に伝えられて解凍される。Next, the freeze-thaw cooking will be specifically described. Food 10 is placed on heat transfer plate 11 and stored in freeze-thaw cooking chamber 1. At first, the food is cooled by the cool air introduced from the cool air discharge port 7, and the temperature of the food decreases to a frozen state. By this freezing process, the water in the cell tissues of the food 10 freezes, and the cells are destroyed by volume expansion.
Subsequently, the supply of cool air from the cool air discharge port 7 is stopped, and the heater 9 is turned off.
When the power supply is started, the heat of the heat transfer plate 11 heated by the heat generated by the heater 9 is transmitted to the food 10 and defrosted.

塩もみ、水さらしをした時のように野菜を脱水と柔軟化
をおこさせた状態である。The food 10 is softened while water in the cell tissue flows out from the portion where the cells have been destroyed during freezing, and a predetermined cooking-like state is ensured. The predetermined cooking state is, for example, when the food 10 is raw vegetables cut from radish, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, carrots, onions, cucumbers, etc., without using salt,
Vegetables are dehydrated and softened as if salted with water.
【0030】また、食品10が肉類で、カットした生肉

熱エネルギーの削減にも繋がる。In this way, by repeating the above-mentioned cooling action and overheating action, the penetration of the seasoning material and water into the food 10 is promoted, and a low salted food or a food with a new texture can be easily prepared. In addition, softening is easily promoted, which is a useful process as under-cooking before main cooking, which leads to shortening of cooking time and reduction of photothermal energy.

目的に応じて浸透度と食感と処理時間のバランスで最適
な選択を行えばよい。Although the cooling action and the heating action need to be repeated at least once, the repetition of the cooling action and the heating action increases the penetrability. And an optimal selection may be made in a balance between the processing time.

ものである。Furthermore, although the final temperature of the cooling action is defined as the freezing temperature zone, it is not always necessary to freeze the food to around -18 ° C., for example. To keep the freezing temperature range (-3 ° C is common, but -1 to -5 ° C depending on the food temperature depending on the freezing temperature) and select the ice crystal rate and the size of the ice crystal growth to obtain the optimal cooking state Can be. In this case, thawing is easy because the temperature is not extremely low, so that freezing and thawing can be easily repeated.
