 Process for making microwavable shaped rice products

Details
Inventors: Zukerman, Harold W.; Zukerman, Rachel B.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Yeung; George
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Faber; Irving

A microwavable shaped rice product made with limited amounts of water, producing cooked rice grains with centers that are not fully hydrated. These shaped rice products are held in frozen storage and prior to serving they are reheated in a microwave oven. When the shaped rice products are microwave reheated from the frozen state, a portion of their water that was originally bound with the rice grain structure, is released. During this microwave reheating, this released water becomes very hot, both cooking and being absorbed by the not fully hydrated rice grain centers. When microwavable shaped rice products are later served, they have a crust and their overall inner texture is soft and firm, but not soggy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is the object of the present invention to provide a shaped rice product that utilizes broken or whole grain rice that has a surface crust and an interior of soft rice grains that are not excessively pasty and gummy.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a microwavable shaped rice product that utilizes broken or whole grain rice that does not become soggy when it is reheated from the frozen state by a microwave oven.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a mixed grain shaped product that comprises broken or whole grain rice with other cereal grains, starch or cereal components, such as wheat, buckwheat, sorghum, potato, millet, corn, barley, triticale, cassava, oats, or rye having a surface crust and a soft interior [wherein that contains] the other grains dispersed together with rice grains.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a microwavable shaped rice product having identifiable, natural food pieces such as mushrooms, shrimp, vegetables, fruits, nuts, sesame seeds, onions, apples, raisins, diced poultry or ham, dispersed together with the soft, cooked rice grains or mixed grains.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an oriental-flavored microwavable shaped rice product having short or medium grain rice that does not become soggy when reheated from the frozen state by microwave ovens.
