2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, food materials are rapidly heat-aged by Joule heat generated by energization resistance, and in order to obtain a flavored processed food, the food materials are directly filled in a cylindrical insulating container whose both sides are open, Next, a manufacturing technique for energizing while pressing the filled food material so that it is sandwiched by a pair of left and right electrode plates via a salt water contactor, or an electrode plate with a salt water contact placed on the lower open side. Inside the cylindrical insulating container that was placed, a thin film electro-processed packaging film with a large number of current-carrying holes in the center was placed from the upper open side so that the salt water contactor and the current-carrying hole part were in close contact with each other. After inserting into the expanded state, then filling the raw food material into the energization-processed packaging film and placing the salt-containing water contactor on this food material. While pressing closely with the electrode plate that is lowered Electrolytically-working manufacturing technology, further open the upper part in a cylindrical insulating container with an electrode plate on which the salt water contactor is placed on the lower open side, and perforate a large number of conducting holes on the bottom flat surface. In addition to filling the inside with food material, the upper open side is a packaged food container formed by covering with a lid body in which a number of current-carrying holes are formed in a flat surface, and the bottom flat surface has a salt water contactor. After that, the salt water contactor is placed on the flat surface of the lid, and then the electrode plate is placed so that the salt water contactors placed on the upper and lower parts and the food material are in close contact. The manufacturing technology and the like in which the energizing action is performed while pressing with the descending operation of (1) are well known that the present inventor has developed.
