Needless to exemplify, it is well known that the packaged food has the convenience of being easily cooked and served by simply placing it in a pot containing liquid and bringing the liquid to a boil. It is.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in the conventional method of cooking packaged foods of this kind, when eating packaged foods at home, boiling water in a pot or the like, then placing the packaged foods in hot water. The food was cooked in a heated bag, but since the food is stored in bag-shaped items such as retort pouches with one side of the bag in close contact with the bottom of the pot, the inner bottom of the pot comes into direct contact with the outer surface of the bag. Cases often occur,
Even if the bag is submerged in hot water, the surface of the bag may become scorched, or part of the bag may melt and cause holes.
- When heating and cooking multiple packaged foods in a pot at the same time, if you try to accommodate the packaged foods in an upright position, the top of the bag will protrude diagonally from the top of the pot, and this protrusion will cause gas to leak. In addition to causing inconveniences such as being directly exposed to the flames and being burnt or burnt, the packaged food becomes slippery after being heated and cooked, and when removed from the boiling water, it may fall down halfway through the process.
There were problems such as people getting burnt when exposed to boiling water.

In the present invention, the packaged food is stored in a bottomed container containing a liquid via a bottomed frame, so that the packaged food is processed without coming into contact with the inner bottom surface and inner peripheral surface of the bottomed container. In addition to allowing for hot cooking, storing multiple packaged foods in an upright position allows them to receive even heat from the hot water, and prevents the packaged foods from accidentally protruding out of the bottomed container.
