Description

  The present invention relates to a food heating container. The food heating container of the present invention relates to a food heating container that can store foods such as side dishes, rice, and soup, and can be heated in a microwave oven together with the container as necessary.

  It is often done at home or the like during cooking to prepare cooked foods, frozen foods, and other foods at room temperature or in a refrigerator or freezer and then heating them with a microwave oven. In heating using such a microwave oven, it is very preferable from the labor of cooking if the food being stored can be used for heating in the storage container. Such a storage / heating food container needs to keep the container body and lid closed so that the internal food does not leak to the outside during storage. It is necessary to prevent the food from being scattered due to deformation or breakage of the container.

  As such containers, there have conventionally been proposed food heating containers provided with a vent hole in the lid for releasing internal gas during heating, and food heating containers with different airtightness depending on the front and back of the lid attached to the main body. is there. In the former container, dust or the like may enter the container from the vent hole formed in the lid, which is not preferable in terms of hygiene and appearance. Since the latter food container has a structure in which the lid is simply placed on the opening of the container and releases the internal gas during heating, there is a concern that the lid may be removed from the main body and the contents may be scattered during heating. As a food heating container that eliminates these points, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-362647 discloses that a fitting portion for attaching a main body and a lid is formed with a convex portion or a concave portion, and the lid is attached to the main body. Therefore, there is a proposal for a heating container in which the unevenness is fitted, or a heating container in which a gap is generated in the fitting portion without fitting and two types of ventilation are generated.
