Abstract:
Provided is a novel edible composition capable of forming a gel that is effective as a gel carrier for food ingredients. Food ingredients are substantially coated with the gel of the present invention. The gel forms a barrier on at least a portion of the food ingredient, thereby becoming a carrier of the food ingredient. During retort, the gel carrier protects the food ingredient from becoming overcooked and/or overprocessed.
A package for a microwaveable food product has a pair of sidewalls each having an inner layer formed of a generally microwave transparent material, and an outer layer formed of a generally non-microwave transparent material having high oxygen barrier properties. A layer of adhesive is disposed between the two layers, bonding the layer together in a peelable bond. The inner layers are positioned adjacent to each other and sealed together adjacent to the peripheral edges of the sidewall to thereby seal a microwaveable food product therein. Prior to heating, the non-microwave transparent outer layer is peeled off the sidewalls of the package.
A multiple cup container device for separately storing two consumables to be later consumed together, has a first cup for storing a first consumable and a second cup for storing a second consumable. Each cup has a flange about its open end. The first cup's flange has a recess therein within which the second cup flange is nested. The nested flanges provide a continuous flat surface there across without any gaps between the flanges. A removable cover seals the container device and removably secures the second cup within the first cup. After removal of the cover, the second cup can be removed from the first cup. The second consumable may then be dispensed within the first cup to allow both consumables to be consumed from the first cup.
