PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exterior carton of a pouch with a vapor discharging function, which does not make the inside of a microwave oven dirty with the contents of the pouch and has no danger of burning the finger and hand due to vapor at the time of pulling-out the pouch.SOLUTION: The exterior carton storing the pouch having the vapor discharging function at the time of heated cooking can be heated and cooked as it is. The exterior carton is a flat rectangular parallelepiped, and a vapor discharging hole section is formed at a front side portion of a top plate by a plurality of annular break lines. A cover plate covering a plurality of vapor discharging hole sections at the top plate is extended at an outer end side of an outer front plate via a folding line, and the cover plate is pasted on the plurality of vapor discharging hole sections at the top plate by folding the cover plate. A plurality of vapor discharging holes are formed at a front side section of the top plate so that the cover plate is turned toward a front side wherein a folding line at an outer end side of the outer front plate becomes a support line and the annular break line is broken while the plurality of vapor discharging hole sections are pasted on the cover plate when heating and cooking.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】蒸気排出機能をもち、電子レンジ内部を内容物で汚すことがなく、取り出すときに蒸気で指や手などを火傷する危惧がない蒸気排出機能をもつパウチの外装用カートンを提供する。【解決手段】加熱調理時に蒸気排出機能をもつパウチを収納し、そのまま加熱調理が可能な外装用カートンであり、偏平な長方体状で、天板の前方側部分に、複数箇の環状切れ目線による蒸気排出孔部を形成し、外側前板の外端側に、天板の複数個の蒸気排出孔部を覆う覆い板を折り目線を介して延設し、覆い板を折り曲げて、天板の複数個の蒸気排出孔部に覆い板を貼着し、加熱調理するときには、覆い板を、外側前板の外端側の折り目線を支線として前方側へ回転させて、複数個の蒸気排出孔部を覆い板に貼着させたまま環状切れ目線を破断して、天板の前方側部分に、複数箇の蒸気排出孔を形成する。【選択図】図1
