To provide a method for producing homogeneous cooked food having no burnt deposit caused by local heating, and subjected to uniform heating treatment in a mass production line.
The method for producing cooked food comprises: charging food raw material into a heating container followed by repeating a heating process including the following steps (1)-(4) until the food raw material gets to an end-point product temperature of 110-180C; and thereafter taking out the cooked food from the heating container: (1) a step of putting the food raw material lying at the bottom part of the heating container 1 on a tornado fin 4 rotated by a driving means 5; (2) a step of pressing the food raw material put on the tornado fin 4 against the inner wall face 2a of the heating container via centrifugal force caused by rotation of the tornado fin 4 so as to be formed into a thin film state; (3) a step of indirectly heating the thin-film-state food raw material pressed against the inner wall face 2a during forcibly flowing the food raw material spirally toward the upper part of the thin-film-state food raw material along the inner wall face 2a via rotation of the tornado 4; and (4) a step of scratching off the food raw material flowing up to the upper part of the heating container 1 in a thin-film state to the bottom part of the heating container again.
