Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing a biodegradable container, capable of foaming and baking a biodegradable material in a short time while preventing half-baking of an opening edge.SOLUTION: The method of manufacturing a biodegradable container comprises a step of molding a container-shaped foam base material layer by use of a foam molding mold 6 composed of a pair of mutually fittable male die 4 and female die 5, each of the dies containing a heater and being electrically connected to a high frequency oscillator, by mutually fitting the male die 4 and the female die 5 with a biodegradable material containing water interposed therebetween, and baking the biodegradable material while steam-foaming the biodegradable material by heating from the heaters and induction heating by application of high-frequency wave and diffusing steam to the outside through a portion corresponding to the opening edge. The mold 6 is formed to have a dimension such that the thickness of an opening edge 1a is smaller than the thicknesses of a bottom portion and a body portion. The step of molding the container-shaped foam base material layer by steam-foaming the biodegradable material includes a step of collectively applying the high-frequency wave to the thin opening edge 1a to collectively heat the opening edge.
