PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food container for a microwave oven which can process by steaming such that food is turned to be full by heating with the microwave oven and can reproduce texture just after being cooked when taking such food as packed rice steamed with red beans or other ingredients.SOLUTION: A container main body 1 respectively including: support protrusions 3 which are arranged and formed on a bottom part surface a storage part 2 for storing a water containing agent 5 which is disposed on a bottom part as necessary a placement part 6 which is continuously formed on an upper edge of the storage part 2, disposed on the upper periphery of the storage part 2 and a cover engagement part continuously formed on the placement part 6, disposed on the upper end is formed. In the container main body 1, a perforated placement plate 10 for loading food is placed on the support protrusions 3 and the placement part 6, and a cover body 20 with which the food on the perforated placement plate 10 is covered is fixed to the container main body 1. The perforated placement plate 10 is formed in a layered shape by arranging and overlapping a porous water-absorptive sheet material 11 made of nonwoven fabric on a lower part and a grid-like mesh material 12 on an upper part. Therein, the mesh material 12 is made by intersecting and overlapping rod-like materials 13 arrayed in parallel on rod-like materials 13 arrayed in parallel likewise.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】パック詰めした例えばおこわ等の食品を喫食するに際し、電子レンジで加熱することで食品がふっくらとなるよう蒸し加工し、調理直後の作り立て感を再現する。【解決手段】支持突部3を底部面に配設形成して、必要に応じ含水剤5を収容する貯留部2を底部に、この貯留部2の上縁に連続させて形成した載置部6を貯留部2の上部周縁に、また載置部6に連続させて形成した蓋係合部を上端にそれぞれ備えている容器本体1を形成する。この容器本体1内には、食品を載せる通孔載置板10を支持突部3、載置部6上に載置し、通孔載置板10上の食品を覆う蓋体20を容器本体1に施蓋する。通孔載置板10は、不織布製の多孔性の吸水性あるシート材11を下部に、格子状のメッシュ材12を上部に配置して重ね合わせることで積層状に形成してあって、メッシュ材12は平行配列した棒状材13上に同じく平行配列した棒状材13を交差させて重ねて成る。【選択図】図1
