PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device each for producing food which are capable of continuously heating food with microwaves in a short time.SOLUTION: A continuously heating method includes: a step of conveying food and placing the food on a conveying means a step of heating the food with microwaves to ≥100°C an aging step of keeping the food at ≥100°C to sterilize the food a cooling step of cooling the sterilized food with fluid and a taking-out step of taking out the food cooled to a temperature of ≤100°C. A device for producing food using the method is provided. The method is also capable of conveying and continuously heating a hermetically-sealed food in a gas-pressured atmosphere, in which the pressure in the gas-pressured atmosphere is 2.0-3.0 atm., the temperature of the food heated with the microwaves is 110-120°C, the heating time is 80-120 s, and the food can be kept at 110-120°C in the aging step.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】食品を短時間で連続的にマイクロ波を用いた加熱をすることのできる食品の製造方法および製造装置を提供する。【解決手段】食品で搬送し、前記搬送の手段に食品を設置する工程と、食品を100℃以上にマイクロ波で加熱する工程と、食品を100℃以上に保ち滅菌する熟成工程と、滅菌された食品を流体で冷却する冷却工程と、冷却され100℃以下となった食品を取り出す取出工程と有する食品の製造方法および製造装置。密封された食品を気体加圧雰囲気内で搬送し連続加熱することもでき、気体加圧雰囲気内の圧力は2.0~3.0気圧とし、マイクロ波加熱による食品温度は110~120℃とし、加熱時間は、80~120秒とし、熟成工程は110~120℃を保つものとすることもできる。【選択図】図4
