Description

The present invention relates to a cup for white rice that seals and stores white rice provided for sale.

Currently, white rice on the market is sold in the form of 5 kilograms, 10 kilograms, and packed in kilograms, and many sales forms enclose 5 kilograms of white rice.

In many cases, a large amount of white rice is cooked, frozen in small portions, and warmed in a microwave oven each time.

As mentioned in the conventional technology, the rate of living alone has increased due to the progress of the nuclear family, and it is difficult to consume all 5 kg of white rice in a short period of time. Because taste and flavor are inversely proportional to time, if consumption takes time, the taste and flavor will decline. Not only that, but it takes time to consume, so it may be necessary to destroy all rice before it is consumed due to the deterioration of white rice and the generation of pests.

Also, in the rice cooking method, if you live alone, it is also troublesome to sharpen and wash a small amount of white rice each time you eat, and as mentioned above, cook rice that has been frozen and preserved by cooking a lot of white rice at once.
