A problem arose in that a plurality of electrically processed foods having arbitrary shapes could not be immediately provided to a meal.

Therefore, in the first invention of the present invention, an insulating container with both sides open is divided into a plurality of filling chambers having arbitrary shapes by a plurality of partition walls inserted, and then each compartment is divided into a plurality of filling chambers having arbitrary shapes. After filling the filling chamber with raw food material, a pair of electrode plates is pressed from both open sides via the salt-containing water contact body, and the raw food material is filled by simply applying current between the two electrode plates. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing high-quality electrically processed foods that can easily mass-produce electrically processed foods that are subjected to heat sterilization at one time and are subdivided into easy-to-eat products. Finally, the above problem has been solved by providing an apparatus for electrically processed food that can easily achieve the above object.
