<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method for producing boiled rice for individual meal, which is suitable for producing boiled rice for individual meal, particularly aseptically-packaged boiled rice. <P>SOLUTION: The method for producing boiled rice for individual meal includes the steps: standing immersed rice together with water at an amount appropriate to water absorption in the container having an opening part at a temperature and for a period of time each effective on the water absorption to make the rice absorb the water; and heating a single water-absorbing container or a plurality of water-absorbing containers at the same time to make boiled rice. The rice-boiling process includes a boiling step where the following cycle is performed at least once so as to make the inside of the container continuously or intermittently boiling: introducing steam into a hermetically-sealed rice-boiling chamber in which a plurality of water-absorbing containers are stored, to pressurize the inside of the chamber; and discharging the steam from the rice-boiling chamber to reduce the pressure in the chamber. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
