Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a package for food products and a method for using the same.
  • Food products consisting of a base ingredient in single pieces and additional ingredient, which is the condiment applied on the surface of the base ingredient pieces as granules are further known.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a package for food products comprising all the additives and water or other fluid for the food product to be cooked inside the package together with the base ingredients without requiring addition of ingredients form the outside. It is hence clear that the advantage of avoiding contaminations and, as a consequence, of ensuring a microbiological quality of the final edible food product is available without the need of adding ingredients from the outside.
  • a further advantage achieved after the preparation of the final edible food product has to be emphasized, namely the possibility of using the parts of said package for various use at the consumer's discretion such as containers for food products and so on.
  • Fig. 1 shows the package comprising a bucket-like chamber 10 containing the food product to be hydrated, preferably dehydrated rice, optionally combined with the condiment ingredients and a reservoir chamber 12 arranged in an upper position and containing sterile water for hydration, optionally added with condiment ingredients in order to obtain a cooking broth.
  • the bucket-like chamber 10 has internal beaks 14 extending inwards from the inside walls of the bucket-like chamber 10.
  • This bucket-like chamber 10 is sealed at the top by a lid 16, preferably made of plastics, whose external perimeter leans upon the onside walls of the bucket-like chamber 10 and whose surface area is placed on the inside reservoir chamber 12, which comprises a lower concave part 18 placed inside the bucket-like chamber 10 and a closure portion 20 leaning upon said beaks 14 and sealed at the top by a film 22 of an easy-to-tear material, preferably aluminized plastic material.
  • Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the package according to the invention during the preparation of the final edible product, said package comprising the bucket-like chamber 10, containing the food product, preferably as rice combined with ingredients during the hydration step, in contact with sterile water for hydration, preferably water with additives for a cooking broth in order to obtain the final product, preferably risotto and the reservoir chamber 12, rotated of 180 degrees from the position of Fig. 1, and having the closing portion 20 inserted in beaks 14 in a such position as to cause the film 22 to be pierced by said beaks 14, so as to obtain openings 24 for the fall of the hydration water inside the bucket-like chamber 10.
  • the present package for food products may be of any suitable size according to the product amounts to be prepared.
  • This package is opened by snap-releasing the lid 16, preferably made of plastics, and the reservoir chamber 12, containing in its lower part 18 the sterile water for hydration, preferably added with condiments for the risotto cooking broth, is taken out and rotated of 180 degrees from its original position, allowing the closing portion 20 to contact the beaks 14 of bucket-like chamber 10.
  • the aluminum sealing film 22 is pierced by the beaks 14 and this allows the sterile water for hydration, preferably being a cooking broth for risotto, to be poured through lacerations 24 over the food product, which is preferably dehydrated rice, and included in the bucket-like chamber 10. In this way the hydration of the food product is obtained at room temperature.
  • the means to connect the chamber 10 with the reservoir chamber 12 could be in other forms such as a tear-off tab incorporated in the film 22, a partition sheet to be pulled out from the package and so forth.
  • said hydration step occurs preferably in two hours, after which the removal of the upper reservoir chamber 12 from the bucket-like chamber 10 gives the edible product, preferably a product based on the risotto, optionally combined together with the condiments.
