In the steaming process, hot water in a lower part of the water-permeable container 23 is boiled to steam the rice, so that moisture and heat are given by a sufficient amount of hot water during the boil maintaining process; in the steaming process to follow, in the state that a moisture rate of the rice is equal to that of cooked rice, by the hot water in the lower part of the water-permeable container, moisture and heat of the vapor can continue to be given via the water-permeable container 23.
