In addition, in this example The planar shape of the sealed container A was rectangular with rounded corners, but it could also be circular or oval. It is also possible to have a shape, so the shape is not limited to that shown in the drawings.

[0009] In the sealed container A, the container 1 is made of a film material and is self-supporting. Therefore, when processing food, use stand B made of dielectric material as shown in the figure. This is used to hold the sealed container A in a vertical position. Stand B is constructed as follows. has been completed.

[Explanation of action]

Next, food preservation processing will be explained based on the above examples. with cap 5 For example, 200g of food, e.g. After inserting the rail, place the cap 5 against the screw tube 3 so that the nozzle hole 4 is not blocked. With the sealed container A supported on the stand B, place it in a microwave oven (not shown). ) and turn on the power for about 2 minutes. Steam generated from curry roux by high-frequency induction heating This water vapor causes the air inside the container 1 to be released from the nozzle hole 4 to the outside. Inside the container 1 there is only water vapor. In this state, put the sealed container A together with the stand B in a microwave oven. Immediately close the cap 5 to close the nozzle hole 4, and The lower edge of the cap 5 is brought into pressure contact with the seal ring 6 to improve sealing performance.

[0013] Next, as shown in Figure 4, the sealed container A was placed in a pressure cooker containing approximately 50cc of water. Place it in the container 16 of C and close the lid. Heat the pressure cooker C in this way in a microwave oven for approx. High frequency dielectric heating for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, take out the pressure cooker C and then reduce the pressure After taking out the sealed container A from the pot C, cool it with cold water if necessary. The water vapor in vessel A condenses due to the cooling effect. Due to this condensation action, the sealed container A There is a vacuum inside, and the flexible container 1 absorbs atmospheric pressure and deforms.

[0014] If you forget to add water to pressure cooker C, or put curry roux into container 1. Then, place the container 1 with the nozzle hole 4 closed with the cap 5 alone in the microwave oven, and place it in a microwave oven. If the electricity is turned on for a certain period of time, the pressure inside container 1 will become abnormally high, which could lead to explosion of container 1. There is a concern that an accident may occur, but in this case, it is recommended to use the cap 5a shown in Figure 5. As the valve body 22 is moved upward by the internal pressure, the pressure inside the container 1 increases. The pressure inside the container 1 is communicated with the outside through the adjustment hole 17 and the through hole 19. The container 1 can be lowered and an explosion accident of the container 1 can be prevented.

[0015] In this state, a product that can be stored for a long period of time similar to canned food can be obtained. and edible When doing so, when the cap 5 is loosened and the nozzle hole 4 is opened, the inside of the sealed container A is The pressure becomes atmospheric, and the container 1 returns to its old state and the lid 2 can be opened easily.

[0016] Also, for example, if raw sardines and seasonings are placed in container 1, the energization time is different, but the By performing the same processing operations as canned food, it can be cooked, and it can also be cooked for a long time similar to canned food. It is possible to prepare food that can be stored for a long time.

[0017] As described above, according to the configuration of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (a) Since the container constituting the sealed container A has a film structure and is flexible, food During the cooking process, atmospheric pressure can be absorbed by simple contraction and deformation, causing the container itself to absorb atmospheric pressure. It is possible to simplify the structure and facilitate manufacturing without using any means of absorbing atmospheric pressure, and Economical as the entire hermetically sealed container does not require a thick pressure-resistant structure to withstand atmospheric pressure. The effect is also large. (b) Foods prepared at home can be easily preserved and processed using a microwave oven. Conventional frozen storage is possible because it can be stored and processed in the same way as canned food. As in, the space inside the freezer is not compressed for food storage, and Preservation means are also easy. (c) Since sealed container A can be used repeatedly, garbage pollution due to disposal is naturally resolved. Furthermore, since the container has a film structure, the overall form can be made more compact. As a result, storage organization at home and product transportation efficiency can be improved.
