Food storage containers

Abstract

The article according to the present design (hereinafter referred to as the "article") comprises a container body having an opening that opens upward, a flat-shaped stand having four legs each protruding toward the bottom of the container body and housed inside the container body in a state of being raised from the bottom, and a lid that closes the opening while sliding from the outside against the outer circumferential surface of the opening edge of the container body, and is a food storage container in which food such as rice is placed on the stand and housed in the container body, and the opening is closed with the lid to store (mainly frozen storage). The article also allows the stored food to be cooked in a microwave oven as it is. The container body, stand, and lid of the article are formed in a substantially rectangular shape with four chamfered corners in a plan view. The container body of the article has an annular ridge that extends from the outer periphery near the opening edge in a state of being protruding outward in a substantially rectangular cross section by the thickness of the lid, and the lower end of the lid abuts on the upper surface of the ridge when the opening is closed. The lid of this article has a chamfered tongue at one corner with a diameter smaller than that of the four corners, with the lower ends of the long and short sides each extended outward, and the tongue is lifted when the lid is opened to allow the lid to be opened smoothly. The platform of this article is provided with a number of slits to allow moisture released from food during cooking to drip onto the bottom of the container body, and a roughly semicircular arc-shaped cutout hole is provided at one corner so that a finger can be inserted when removing the container from the container body. This article has a fitting recess in the center of the lid into which a roughly rectangular frame-shaped protrusion protruding from the center of the bottom surface of the container body can be fitted, and when there are multiple lids, they can be stacked stably by fitting the protrusions into the fitting recesses.
