PCT No. PCT/JP90/00576 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 8, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 8, 1992 PCT Filed May 1, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/02464 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 7, 1991.The present invention provides a method of preparing pressure-treated rice characterized by placing washed polished rice directly or as enclosed in a container into a liquid within a pressure chamber and applying a high pressure to the pressure chamber for a suitable period of time, and a container for cooking the pressure-treated rice in a microwave oven characterized in that the cooking container comprises a container body, a closure for the container body, and a partition provided inside the container body, the partition having a multiplicity of steam ports and being disposed in the interior of the container body for dividing the interior into an upper portion for accommodating the rice therein and a lower portion for accommodating therein water for steaming the rice. The method readily affords the pressure-treated rice, which can be cooked to a state suited to eating when heated for a short period of time with a reduced likelihood of impairing the flavor, taste and nutrients. The container permits a microwave oven to boil and steam the rice effectively by heating to cook the rice satisfactorily within a very short period of time. |
