Abstract

Problem to provide a container for an electromagnetic cooker which can be heated corresponding to impedance check frequency which differs depending on a manufacturer of an electromagnetic cooker or the like, can properly and easily set a heat generation characteristic, is excellent in marketability, configuration in use, disposability, handiness in cooking and the like, is suitable for retort foods, instant foods and the like, and exhibits high heating efficiency, means for resolution a container for an electromagnetic cooker includes a container body made of a non-conductive material and a conductive layer in a bottom portion of the container, wherein the ratio of resistance change (R−R 0 )/R 0 of the conductive layer with respect to the impedance check frequency of a heating coil is set to 5.3 or more, and a ratio of inductance change (L−L 0 )/L 0 of the conductive layer with respect to the impedance check frequency of the heating coil is set to −0.17 or less. Here, R indicates the high-frequency resistance (.OMEGA.) on a heating coil side with a load, R 0 indicates the high-frequency resistance (.OMEGA.) on the heating coil side without a load, L indicates the inductance (.mu.H) on the heating coil side with a load, and L 0 indicates the inductance (.mu.H) on the heating coil side without a load.

Claims (12)

1. A container for an electromagnetic cooker including a conductive layer at least in a bottom portion of the container made of a non-conductive material, wherein the ratio of resistance change (R-R 0 )/R 0 of the conductive layer with respect to the impedance check frequency of a heating coil is set to 5.3 or more, and the ratio of inductance change (L-L 0 )/L 0 of the conductive layer with respect to the impedance check frequency of the heating coil is set to −0.17 or less, wherein R indicates the high-frequency resistance on a heating coil side with a load, R 0 indicates the high-frequency resistance on the heating coil side without a load, L indicates the inductance on the heating coil side with a load, and L 0 indicates the inductance on the heating coil side without a load.

2. A container for an electromagnetic cooker according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive layer is formed of metal foil.

3. A container for an electromagnetic cooker according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive layer is formed of a coating material containing metal powder.

4. A container for an electromagnetic cooker according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive layer is formed on an inner surface of the bottom portion of the container.

5. A container for an electromagnetic cooker according to claim 4 , wherein the conductive layer is made of a laminate material constituted of a conductive material and a non-conductive material, and the conductive material is disposed on a bottom-portion side of the container.

6. A container for an electromagnetic cooker according to claim 5 , wherein the non-conductive material of the conductive layer is curved upwardly along a side wall of the container, and is adhered to a lower portion of an inner surface of the side wall of the container.

7. A container for an electromagnetic cooker according to claim 5 , wherein a content liquid convection hole is formed in the non-conductive material of the laminate material.

8. A container for an electromagnetic cooker according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive layer is formed into a doughnut shape.

9. A container for an electromagnetic cooker according to claim 5 , wherein the conductive material of the conductive layer is formed into an uneven shape for increasing a surface area of the conductive material.

10. A container for an electromagnetic cooker according to claim 7 , wherein the conductive layer is configured to be vertically movable.

11. A container for an electromagnetic cooker according to claim 5 , wherein the conductive material is formed by lamination.

12. A container for an electromagnetic cooker according to claim 11 , wherein the conductive material is formed by lamination while preventing end portions of the conductive material from overlapping with each other.
