The instant food 1 with a steam heating device is one in which a desired food or the like is placed inside a box 2.
A steam heating device 3 has a structure in which the inside is divided into two by a partition wall 31, lime 32 is sealed in one side and water 33 is sealed in the other side, and the partition wall 31 is broken from the outside to mix the two. The heat is generated by the chemical reaction that occurs when the heat is generated. 4 is a main food such as rice, which is sealed in a bag in which moisture has been removed from the gelatinized rice to some extent, and can be eaten only by heating. Reference numeral 5 denotes a container formed of aluminum foil. After heating, the food is transferred from the bag to the container 5 so that the food can be eaten. As shown in FIG. Is placed on the steam heating device 3 so as to cover the. 6 is a side food product sealed in a bag made of aluminum foil and placed on the bottom surface of the container 5.

A string 7 is drawn from the partition wall 31 to the outside of the box 2, and is pulled by the user from the outside to break the partition wall 31 and start a chemical reaction.

In the instant food 1 with a steam heating device constructed as described above, when the string 7 is pulled and the partition wall 31 is broken, a chemical reaction is started inside the steam heating device 3 to generate heated steam. Then, the steam heating device 3
Heats the lower surface of the main food 4 that is in direct contact. The heated steam rises to heat the upper surface of the side food product 6, and part of the convection inside the container 5 heats the upper surface of the main food product 4 and the entire container 5. Furthermore, the container 5 and the side food 6
Since both of the bags containing the are made of aluminum foil having a good heat transfer property, the lower surface of the side food product 6 placed on the bottom surface of the container 5 is sufficiently heated through the container 5. It

Since the steam heating device 3 is constructed so as to continue to generate heat for a predetermined time, the steam that has been heated continuously convects inside the container 5. Therefore, not only the lower surface of the main food 4 but also the upper surface and the lower surface of the side food 6 are sufficiently heated.

Alternatively, the main food 4 may be enclosed in a slightly larger bag, and as shown in FIG. 2, the adhesive tape 8 may be bent to the lower side, that is, the steam heating device 3 side to be stopped. The heated steam also convects in the curved portion formed at this time, so that the main food 4 is heated evenly.

By storing the steam heating device 3, the main food 4, the container 5 and the side food 6 in a bag made of vinyl, for example, the heated steam is prevented from diffusing, so that the food can be processed more efficiently. Can be heated.
