Apparatus and method for preparing instant cooked rice that is sterilized and completely cooked

Abstract

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.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the preparation of sterilized packaged rice, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for preparing fully cooked rice in which a composition comprising Various cereal crops including rice, nuts and other additives are selectively combined so that users can eat it immediately without a separate heating process. Background technique [0002] In sterilized packed rice, rice is the main ingredient and may be mixed with additives such as glutinous rice or other grains and nuts. In addition, in the pretreatment process for preparing sterilized packaged rice that can be stored for a long time, due to concerns about the growth and reproduction of microorganisms in the raw material, treatment by using organic acids or growing at high temperature must be adopted. Time immersion in organic acid to sterilize raw materials. [0003] Generally, sterilized food products are manufactured by packing food in a container, sealin...

Problems solved by technology

In addition, there are some other problems as follows: in order to maintain the sterilization conditions and prevent the penetration of bacteria due to the introduction of external air, a separate clean room equipment and heat sterilization process using food preservatives are additionally required

[0012] In addition, in the above method, since the final cooked rice is provided in a semi-finished state, the user must additionally heat the packaged boiled rice to eat, which is inconvenient
