Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to canned raw rice, and more particularly to canned raw rice that can be stored for a long period of time and can be cooked over an open flame immediately after opening the can. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, emergency and preserved rice foods are made by drying cooked rice, gelatinizing it, and sealing it in bags or cans (Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 5581497). While this type of preserved food has the advantage of being ready to eat, it has the disadvantage of being time-consuming to produce and, since the rice has already been cooked, it does not have a very long shelf life.

[0003] Additionally, there has been a proposal for canned polished rice, in which uncooked rice is sealed in a can together with nitrogen gas and cooked using a home rice cooker or a dedicated rice cooking device (Patent Document 2: JP 10-113135 A). However, in this case, a home rice cooker or a dedicated rice cooking device is required for heating, and a power source is also required, which means that this method cannot be used in times of power shortages such as during disasters, or in situations where electricity cannot be freely used outdoors.

[0004] Furthermore, there has been a proposal for canned grains in which grains such as rice are placed in a paper bag, and the paper bag is then sealed in a steel can together with an oxygen absorber (Patent Document 3: Utility Model Registration No. 3169892), but in this case, the storage period with the oxygen absorber is not very long, and it is necessary to use two packaging containers, a can and a paper bag, and it is not intended to be used for cooking rice as is.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the various problems with the above-mentioned conventionally proposed preserved foods, and aims to provide canned raw rice that can be stored for a long period of time, is suitable for use as an emergency food or preserved food, and can be cooked immediately over an open flame after opening the can, making it suitable for use outdoors when there is no power source, such as in the event of a disaster. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The invention described in claim 1 for solving the above problem comprises a storage can filled with a predetermined amount of raw rice and an appropriate amount of nitrogen gas and sealed with a sealing lid, and an outer lid that is attached to the storage can, The storage can is an aluminum can that has been anodized, and is capable of being heated over a direct flame.

[0008] In one embodiment, the outer lid is an aluminum can that has been anodized and can be heated over an open flame. Also, in another embodiment, the outer lid is deep enough to be used as a bowl or a kettle.

[0009] In one embodiment, a water level indicator is provided on the inner wall of the storage canister to indicate the amount of water to be poured in. In another embodiment, the raw rice is pre-washed rice. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The canned raw rice of the present invention is as described above, and uses an aluminum can that has been anodized to improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance as a storage can, allowing for long-term storage of raw rice, making it suitable for use as an emergency food or preserved food, and since it can be cooked over an open flame immediately after opening, it can be used even in situations where electricity is unavailable, such as during disasters, and is recyclable after use.Furthermore, the outer lid can be used as a bowl or kettle.

[0012] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The canned raw rice of the present invention comprises a storage can 1 filled with a predetermined amount of raw rice 11 and an appropriate amount of nitrogen gas 12 and sealed with a sealing lid 2, and an outer lid 3 fitted to the storage can 1. The storage can 1 is an aluminum can that has been anodized and is capable of being heated over an open flame.

[0013] The storage canister 1 is a normal aluminum canister that has been anodized, and the anodization improves its wear resistance and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use as a packaging container for emergency food and preserved food. Raw rice 11 is placed directly into the storage canister 1, and nitrogen gas 12 is filled in. This prevents the raw rice 11 from oxidizing, and extends the consumption and expiration date of the raw rice 11.

[0014] Preferably, a water level indicator 4 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the storage canister 1 so that the appropriate amount of water 13 can be easily added when filling the mess container. The water level indicator 4 may be an arrow, a circumferential line, or a ring-shaped protrusion.

[0015] Typically, the sealing lid 2 is a pull-top type that can be pulled up and removed. Preferably, the outer lid 3 is also made of an aluminum can that has been anodized, is capable of being heated over an open flame, and is deep enough to be used as a bowl or kettle.

[0016] The raw rice is often white rice (preferably unwashed rice), but it is not limited to this and may also be brown rice, multigrain rice, etc. Any variety of rice is acceptable, but it is also possible to enclose brand rice from each region and use it as part of regional revitalization efforts, for example, as a gift in return for hometown tax donations.

[0017] The canned raw rice according to the present invention is commercialized in a state where the outer lid 3 is placed on the storage can 1 in a hermetically sealed state.

[0018] The canned raw rice of the present invention is primarily intended for outdoor use, such as in disaster areas where electricity is unavailable or at campsites. A heating means is required for use. Possible heating means include a stove 15 made on the spot or a camping burner 16. After igniting the heating means, the outer lid 3 of the canned raw rice is removed, the airtight lid 2 is removed, a predetermined amount of water is poured into the storage can 1, and the outer lid 3 is then placed on the wire mesh of the stove 15. The cooked rice is checked in the same way as for a rice cooker. The outer lid 3 can be used as a bowl or to boil water.

[0019] After consumption, the storage can 1 etc. can be recycled because it is an aluminum can. [Industrial Applicability]

[0020] The canned raw rice of the present invention is as described above, and uses an aluminum can that has been anodized to improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance as a storage can, making it possible to store raw rice for long periods of time and suitable for use as an emergency food or preserved food.After opening the can, the rice can be cooked immediately over an open flame, so it can be used even in situations where electricity is not available, such as during a disaster.It can also be recycled after use, and the outer lid can be used as a bowl or a kettle, making it highly applicable in industry.
