The invention relates to heating containers and, more particularly, to a handy heating container in which food or drink, canned or otherwise, to be heated, such as "sake", coffee, soup, curry, or the like, is set ready for being heated. The heating container has a water discharge device provided on the underside of a solution package containing water or a solution consisting principally of water; and the solution package and a heat generating material are housed in a retainer portion. With this arrangement, exothermic reaction progresses upward from the bottom portion of the heat generating material so that the can is efficiently heated. Furthermore, any water vapor produced is absorbed by the upper portion of the heat generating material so that water vapor jetting through the gap between the can and the container or blowing out of the can is effectively prevented.
A handy heating container having a retainer portion in a container, a storage space provided above the retainer portion for housing a can for food or drink, there being housed in said retainer portion a heat generating material and a solution package containing water or a solution consisting principally of water, characterized in that the solution package is integrally formed with the retainer portion and in that openings of the solution package are provided in the underside of the retainer portion, said openings being sealed with a film-like material, water discharge means being provided on the underside of the solution package, said water discharge means of said solution package being in the form of a pull band extension comprising a part of the underside of and extending from the outer peripheral edge of the flange.
