A method of producing pressurized rice characterized in that washed and polished rice is put into a solution in a pressurizing chamber as such or after being put into a sealed container, and a high pressure is applied to the pressurizing chamber for a suitable time. The present invention provides also a container for cooking the pressurized rice in a microwave oven. The container is constituted of a container body, a cover for the container body and a partition housed inside the container body, wherein the partition has a large number of steam passages and is disposed inside the container body in such a manner as to divide the inside of the container body into an upper portion for storing the pressurized rice and a lower portion for storing steaming water. Thus the pressurized rice can be obtained easily and cooked to a state suitable for eating by heating it for a short period without losing much the taste and nutrients. The use of this container serves cook and steam rice effectively by heating in a microwave oven and a satisfactory cooking state can be obtained within an extremely short period. |
