That it is intended to provide cents rice container.

[0010] The water container is also characterized in that the lower wall is broken by pressing the upper wall.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention,
First, the lid is removed, the container wall of the water container housed in the container body is damaged, and water for cooking rice flows from the water container into the container body.

[0012] Since the milled rice is stored in the container body, the milled rice is mixed with an amount of rice cooking water suitable for the milled rice.

Next, the empty water container is removed, the lid is closed, and the rice is heated and cooked in a microwave oven.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a rice cooker A of the present invention. The rice cooker A has a heat-resistant container body 1 for storing milled rice and a heat-resistant container whose upper opening can be freely opened and closed. , And a water container 3 for storing cooking water.

The container body 1 comprises a cylindrical rice storage unit 1-1,
A water container mounting portion 4 having an upper part expanded is provided through the stepped portion 1-2.

The polished rice M can be cooked and eaten without washing the so-called unwashed rice.

As shown in FIG. 1, the heat-resistant lid 2 is openable and closable at the upper opening of the container body 1, and a recess 5 is formed in the center of the upper surface to serve as a pool for spills. A vapor vent hole 6 is formed in the bottom surface.

The lower opening of the lid 2 has a peripheral edge bent inward so as to be freely engageable with the horizontal flange 7 at the opening edge of the container body 1.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the water container 3 stores rice cooking water W corresponding to the amount of milled rice. The cooking water W is stored in a hermetically sealed manner, and a projection 8 is vertically provided inside the center, and the lower end of the projection 8 is formed in a sharp shape, and is formed below the projection 8. On the bottom surface of the water container corresponding to the above, a projection 9 is pressed with a finger from above to form a damaged portion 9 which is broken at a sharp portion at the lower end thereof.

A hermetic seal 10 is stretched over the horizontal flange 7 at the upper opening edge of the container body 1, so that the milled rice M is stored in the milled rice storage section 1-1 of the container body 1 and its upper position. In the above, the water container 3 is placed on the stepped portion 1-2, the water container 3 is stored in the water container mounting portion 4, and these are hermetically stored in the container body 1 with the hermetic seal 10. become.

The container body 1 and the lid 2 are both made of a heat-resistant material, and can withstand the heat of the cooked rice even when the stored rice is cooked by a microwave oven or the like.

The method of using the rice cooker A thus constituted is as follows.

The rice cooker A is displayed and sold at a store such as a convenience store.

Therefore, the rice cooker A at the store is purchased,
When cooking rice, as shown in FIG. 4, first, the lid 2 is removed, then the hermetic seal 10 is peeled off, the water container 3 is exposed, and the protrusion 8 of the water container 3 is pressed with a finger from above. The lower end of the projection 8 damages the damaged portion 9 on the bottom surface of the water container, and the rice cooking water W contained therein flows down into the milled rice storage unit 1-1 and is mixed with the milled rice M.

Next, the water container 3 is removed, and the lid 2 is
Is closed in the container body 1, heated in a microwave oven, and cooked.

During cooking, excess steam is discharged from the steam vent hole 6 of the lid 2, and spills accumulate in the recess 5 from the hole 6.

When the rice cooking is completed, the container body 1 can be used as a tea bowl.

[0030]

According to the present invention, polished rice and cooking water can be mixed and separated by separately storing rice and cooking water in separate containers, and by breaking the water container. To cook rice and cook it.
The container itself can eat rice as it is instead of the tea bowl.

Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a container such as a tea bowl for meals after cooking rice, and it is possible to buy rice from a store such as a convenience store or the like and eat the rice only by taking the trouble of heating treatment in a microwave oven. You can easily eat delicious rice just cooked at any time, stimulate the demand for rice, revive the traditional Japanese meal of ancient Japan,
It has the effect of maintaining the traditional diet.
