摘要

An innovative method of heating treatment for food excelling in practical utility in which the same cooking and appertization as in the prior art can be performed with economic efficiency and productivity superior to those of the prior art. There is provided a method of heating treatment for food characterized by disposing food (2) in airtight container (1) retaining or capable of retaining a given gas pressure; and injecting a heating liquid of 100°C or higher heated by heating source (8) into the space within the airtight container (1) toward the food (2), so that in place of immersing the food (2) in the heating liquid to thereby effect heating treatment thereof, the heating liquid injected in the airtight container (1) is applied to the food (2), or package (3) of the food, or covering body (4) of these, thereby achieving heating treatment of the food (2) disposed in the airtight container (1) defining an airtight pressurization space with the use of heat of the heating liquid.
