Bag-like container

A bag-like container comprising:

• a bottom sheet including a first paper base layer and a heating element layer configured to generate heat by absorbing electromagnetic waves, the first paper base layer being formed on an outermost face side;
• a top sheet bonded to the bottom sheet in such a manner as to be separable from the bottom sheet with a content to be cooked being contained, wherein the top sheet transmits the electromagnetic waves and wherein:
• the bottom sheet includes a first seal layer provided on the heating element layer;
• the top sheet includes a second seal layer provided on a resin film layer, the second seal layer being thermally bonded to the first seal layer;
• the bag-like container includes a seal portion provided along a periphery of the bottom sheet and the top sheet, the seal portion being configured to heat-seal the first seal layer and the second seal layer, wherein the seal portion is defined by the heat seal between the first seal layer and the second seal layer;
• the bottom sheet and the top sheet being a rectangular shape;
• the bottom sheet includes a non-heating portion provided along two opposed sides along the periphery outside of the heating element layer, wherein the non-heating portion transmits the electromagnetic waves;
• a steam release portion provided at a center of one of two opposed sides of the periphery in which the heating element layer is provided, the two opposed sides being different from the two opposed sides along which the non-heating portion is provided;
• wherein the steam release portion is provided on a part of the seal portion, and is a weak seal portion smaller in width than a remaining part of the seal portion;
• and.
