PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method for rapidly producing a cooked food packed in packaging container which has an excellent quality and a long shelf life by rapidly performing cooking by use of a packaging container with a simple facility, and a cooked food packed in packaging container which is produced using the production method and has an excellent quality and a long shelf life.SOLUTION: The method for producing a cooked food packed in a packaging container 1 includes: a packing step of packing a solid food raw material 3 in the packaging container 1 having an opening 2 at an upper portion a sterilization step of performing heat sterilization using vapor an addition step of adding a cooking solution 6 a cooking step of performing cooking using vapor and a sealing step of sealing the opening 2. During the heating of the solid food raw material 3 and cooking solution 6 at least in the cooking step, a part of at least the bottom of the packaging container 1 is placed in contact with a heat-storage and heat-release tray 4 which is heated and heat-stored together with the solid food raw material 3 and the packaging container 1 by vapor in the sterilization step to promote the heating of the solid food raw material 3 and cooking solution 6 by heat transfer from the heat-storage and heat-release tray 4.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡素な設備で、包装用容器を用いて、急速に加熱調理することで、短時間に、品質が優れた長期保存可能な容器入り加熱調理食品を製造するための製造方法およびこの製造方法を用いて製造された、品質が優れた長期保存可能な、容器入り加熱調理食品の提供。【解決手段】上部に開口部2を備えた包装用容器1に、固形状食品原料3を充填する充填工程、蒸気を用いて加熱殺菌する殺菌工程、調理液6を添加する添加工程、蒸気を用いて加熱調理する調理工程、開口部2を密封シールするシール工程を含む包装容器1入り加熱調理食品の製造方法において、少なくとも前記調理工程において、固形状食品原料3および調理液6の昇温中に、包装用容器1の少なくとも底部の一部が、前記殺菌工程において蒸気によって、固形状食品原料3および包装用容器1と共に加熱、蓄熱された蓄熱放熱性トレー4に接して載置され、固形状食品原料3および調理液6の加熱を、蓄熱放熱性トレー4からの伝熱により促進することにより課題を解決できる。【選択図】図1
