APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PREPARING INSTANT COOKED RICE THAT IS STERILIZED AND COMPLETELY COOKED

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus for preparing instant cooked rice, in which a steaming module, a cooking module, and a sealing module are integrated into a single chamber to which high-temperature, high-pressure steam is supplied. The steaming module performs a steaming process in which high-temperature, high-pressure steam fills the steam module to sterilize and primarily cook the contents in an open container arranged in an upper portion of the steaming module. The cooking module performs a cooking process in which high-temperature, high-pressure steam fills the cooking module to further sterilize the contents in the open container and supply moisture to the contents and completely cook the contents. The sealing module performs a sealing process in which clean nitrogen gases are supplied to the completely cooked contents, and the top of the open container is sealed with a lid film. According to the present invention, as each process is adjusted to be performed at different temperatures and at different pressures, users may instantly eat the completely cooked combination of a variety of additives such as grains containing rice and nuts and the flour of grains and nuts without any additional heating process.
