150℃ Steamed Rice

Self-heating rice, also known as instant rice, is made from high-quality rice, combined with refined meat, fresh vegetables, mushrooms, etc. It is packaged in boxes using a series of advanced high-tech process technologies, vacuum-sealed packaging, and high-temperature sterilization. It comes with a heating pack, which heats up within 3-5 seconds when it comes into contact with water. The temperature can reach over 150°C, the steam temperature can reach 200°C, and the longest insulation time can reach 3 hours, making it easy to cook raw rice into cooked rice.

How does self-heating rice reach high temperature quickly in a short period of time?

It turns out that the heating bag in the self-heating rice contains coke powder, activated carbon, salt, quicklime and other substances, which will generate high temperatures when they come into contact with water. These things are not toxic, and they do not come into direct contact with the rice, so they have no effect on the human body. However, although heated water is not a toxic substance, it does not meet the drinking water standards, so citizens should handle it with care after use and avoid drinking it.
