Ground Self Defense Force 2 Type I

It is an introduction of Miyake 2 which the Ground Self Defense Force is officially adopting.





Iwasu used since the former army era.
At that time it was used as dishes and it was not made to cook directly by direct fire.

It made it possible to cook rice cooked with fire made from aluminum made in Meiji 31.

It is a masterpiece of a military ceremony today that I can cook two meals.

After that, in the Showa era, a ninety-two style cookie that can cook three meals appears.
How to cook rice cooked with outside in a form that puts another one in the usual cooker,
It seems that souvenirs and simmered dishes were cookable on the inner meadow.

And the Ground Self Defense Force will continue to adopt Miwago.
It adopts the shape of a type 1 which is very similar to the old type meigo (2 meals cooked) used in the old army,
As a renewal, Mie 2 was newly adopted.




It is not a government-affiliated product, but this time it is a PX product that the Mutual Aid Association of the Defense Agency manufactures and sells based on GS specifications.

However, somehow Sakura Q mark representing SD powered officials is stamped.




Let's see in detail.

It consists of three parts: lid, lid, body.
It is the capacity of each, but about 670 cc, about 500 cc in the middle, about 1200 cc in the main body, and it is about half the size of the military formula sold in general and it feels like a mini riot.




The water line on the inside of the main body represents about 700 cc 2 cook can be cooked,
In the Ground Self Defense Force, each men do not actually cook using 2 mushrooms.
It is mainly used as a container to be used as a tableware with distributed meals in the field or to put battle rituals.




As a usage example, soup in the main body, rice and side dishes in lid and lid.
As you can see it is also possible to hook the lid handle on the inside and have it at the same time.

By the way, in the Ground Self Defense Force there are no personal cutlery dishes (tableware such as chopsticks and spoons) and disposable chopsticks prepared by the unit are distributed on site.

Some of the members are going to bring a tool knife with a spoon or fork purchased by yourself.



Finally, I introduce cooking method of rice cooking and side dish using Miyake 1 shape on the Ground Self Defense Force textbook.


1. Cooking rice

In the case of 1 meal cooking, about 1 cup of rice is washed with water (lid and shaken up and down)
Place water up to one third of the amount of water (the lower water line), and in the case of two meals, put in about two cups of rice water up to two thirds (water line above) and infiltrate the fire .

After 5 to 6 minutes after boiling, keep it away from the direct fire sequentially. After about 5 minutes it is got down from the fire, if it steams for 5 to 7 minutes and it is steamed it will be completed.

The items to be taken into consideration for rice cooking are as follows.

(1) When placing two or more cookies side by side, the concave portion on the side of the cookie has a concave portion,
The convex portion and the convex portion are opposed to each other so that the fire evenly turns.

(2) Do not take off the lid during rice cooking or get down from the fire in the middle.

(3) When the juice has been blown out from the rice cooker, transfer it to a weak spot of thermal power.

(4) Tap the lid lightly with a stick and do not get it down from the fire until a heavy and dull sound is heard.


2. Cooking a side dish

Cooking a side dish by cooking, usually applies a simple menu (cooked food etc.).












































It is about 2/3 of the capacity of old-style cooked rice, which has been made compact.
Currently it is said that there is no way to cook rice individually in the JSDF,


If it is used as a tableware, is not it no longer necessary to have this shape.

Old Type Compared to Type 2


Overview


The word "bowl" means a container with a matching lid. In English, Messtin (Mein, meal + can meaning). Primary use is the tableware that the soldier carries with food during field warfare, etc., and the tableware used to receive the distribution of meals is used as a cooking utensil and bucket etc in case of emergency. In Japan, the former Japanese Army improved and used it as a rice cooker during the field campaign, and it has been established for outdoor cooking. Material of the main body and lid is generally made of aluminum.

Speaking of merely a cooking utensil in Japan, it refers to a bent flat shape called mainly kidney (kidney) type (or fava bean type), also called a military formula. The "Robin Bowl" equipped with soldiers of the former Japanese Army is in its original form, and because there are other officers, there is the name "Military Equation" in the sense of "for soldiers". Other shapes include rectangle (for former Japanese army officers, French army etc.), elliptical ones (Swedish army) etc. Recently used for leisure in Japan, which has become more used by camping stove than bonfire, the number of cylindrical ones has increased.

The unique shape of the military cupboard is seen in military food containers of various countries such as Europe, and it has been adopted in the former Japanese Army and the Ground Self Defense Force in Japan as well. The reason for adopting this shape is as follows.


In order to be stabilized without being bulky when carrying it with a belt or a backpack (rucksack) being carried around (a similar shape can be seen also in a European food box not mainly used for cooking and a military water bottle in each country, so this is the first It is considered to be the reason).

When cooking at the same time through sticks in a crane with a large number of bowls, the width of the whole can be narrowed, the gauze can be made smaller, and the firewood can be saved and efficient.

Even with rice cooker evenly cooked with fire, heat can easily be turned around by convection, so rice can be easily cooked.

When carrying a plurality of cooked food containers containing contents after cooked together in one hand, they are uniformly leveled and stabilized unlike other shapes.

Japan 's ice bin is specialized for rice cooking, standard rice cooker is 4 rice cooked rice, the body is marked 2, 4 indication of the amount of water used is stamped. Besides the main body, it consists of a lid and a core (inner lid and hook), and it is also used for weighing dishes and rice (2 cores and 3 covers). In the former Japanese Army, the lid part of the bowl was called "Menko" [1].




As a cooked cooked with fire or put on hand, you can put a ferrule (vine) on the main body. There are also types of things that only rotate, and types that can be slid to make it bulky for carrying (boiler for officers and self-defense forces, for some leisure). Among the Japanese food cups, there were also things that mainly used "tableware" "lunch box" and had no fishing stations (such as early officer's kitchen, small serving nurse small food box).

There is also a type that can be used as a frying pan with a handle made of steel in a foldable manner on the outer lid (general for military use in European countries), Tyrole formula for Japanese leisure · Swiss type.

In Japan's traditional military style cupboard, a metal threading bracket arrives to pass the belt vertically on the outside of the body. This was used to tie the backpack with a flat string or belt, but since it is almost never carried in such a form today, in recent years this product was omitted in many products. It is also possible to hook an L-shaped bracket to this belt thread and use it as a removable handle.






History 

It seems that the bowl has origins in Europe, but its history is shallow. Because irons and other metals are not suitable for carrying due to their high specific gravity, it was not realistic to carry cooking utensils. Aluminum was discovered in 1886 and its mass production became possible, so outdoor cooking appliances based on cell phones became realistic. From the end of the 19th century the same Swiss style as it is today was used in Germany. Also, you can find the same design as the present one in German military formulas established in 1931 (but with a handle to use the lid as a frying pan). Also, you can see that the main characters are being used when receiving meals with "no western fighter irregularities".

Below, we will mainly explain the Japanese bowl.


In Japan it seems that after the Meiji Restoration, there was a record that Tokugawa Yoshinobi cooked rice cooking at home at home, it was introduced with western style troops. Before the introduction of the bowl, the men's weirs were almost identical to those in the Warring States era, which carries 糒 and baked miso. The former Japanese Army adopted a bowl of rice is said to be around the Sino-Japanese War. However, at that time, the lunch box was only available as a dishware by lacquering and enameling. It is 1890 (Meiji 23) that a cooker with a cooking function like today is adopted, it is said that it was manufactured by the army firearm factory. It became a Western style design, and was further devised to cook rice.


In the peacetime life in peacetime, we ate the meal cooked in the kitchen at the cafeteria, and the menu was not much different from the family such as miso soup and pickles in the rice. Cooking with cooked rice has the danger of exposing the arrangement and forces of units to the enemy due to the number of smoke and rice, limited to the case of the field and inevitable. For field warfare on the battlefield, basically it is necessary to distribute meals cooked by the backward field cups in battalion units to each subordinate unit, and each soldier received the dispensed dish with a cooker. In addition, as a portable meal, a handful of rice etc was also distributed. Only when it can not receive such replenishment, we cooked it with a cooker on the front line.


Since that time, the military cupboard is usually 4 cooked, and the capacity is larger than military foodstuffs of each country in Europe. This is because Japanese soldiers at that time standard 2, 1 meal so that you can cook 2 servings at once. Many lunch boxes for leisure today are cooked 4 times today, but this is a remnant of that. The Meiji period - the early Showa period military cupboard was slightly smaller than today's thing. Until the conclusion of the Pacific War (Great East Asia War), the same shape as the today's leisure cabinet style washbasket, which is mainly called the Robin Bowl, was adopted.


There was a pair cooked by a plurality of soldiers and each cooked rice cooked by each soldier in the cooking rice cooker. In the case of cooked rice cooker, we cooked side dishes using cooked rice cooker and a few cooked rice bowls in a set. In each cooking rice cooked rice, cooking rice was cooked with rice cooking by putting side dish into the inner lid when cooking rice. It is inevitable that it is impossible for each side to cook side dish of by-products and it is inevitable. In the "Army Cooking Law" of the Army's cooking manual, it is inevitable to cook rice cooking and side dishes at the same time with a single cooker Aside from avoiding it, I ordered to cook together as much as possible with multiple ice packs. When a soldier carries a ritual, he usually puts it in a cloth bag and places it in the backpack, but there were cases where I carried raw rice in a bowl and carried it.


The Ninety-two style kitchen utensil (also known as "Double Bottle"), which was adopted in 1932 (Showa 7th - Imperial 2592), seems to be a military cupboard but it has a unique double structure. It is a nesting style of the inner and outer cases, and when using both, it is possible to cook up to 8 rice at the same time, or cook rice 4 mix and miso soup at the same time. It was necessary to cook at least two times for cooking 3 meals / 6 cups a day in the 4 cooked cooking utensils until then, but in the ninety two style cooking utensil it became possible to cook at once. However, due to the disadvantages such as complicated structure and complicated structure compared to a general military style cupboard, it was soon replaced by the above-mentioned No. 1 bowl.


In the end of the Pacific War in 1944 (1949), the inner lid was omitted from the bowl and was made of casting in order to shortage the metals and simplify the production process.


After the end of the war, it seems that the bunkan taken out by veteran soldiers was utilized in the daily life of shortage of supplies.


For military use, even now the bowl has been adopted in military equipment in various countries such as Europe and Russia. However, due to the necessity of firewood and evolution of evolution, in the US military, the dishes were removed from dishes and knives that would become frying pans with knobs and knife kit of fork cocoa. In the Ground Self Defense Force, after the war, we used a cooker with the same structure as the No. 4 cooker (later called type 1) for many years, but mostly it was not used for cooking and it was mainly used as dishes. Today, priority is placed on convenience as tableware, it is turned into what is called "battle cooker 2 type", which is low in height and small in capacity (2 cookable).
