Abstract (en)

During reheating of pre-cooked, pre-packaged foodstuffs drying out may occur at the edges of the foodstuffs in the package and good presentation of the reheated foodstuffs is difficult to achieve upon removal from the package and transfer to a plate. An ovenable container (4) is provided for foodstuffs and comprises a base portion (1) and an inwardly-directed lateral flange (9) sealed to the base portion (1) or an integral part thereof, at or in the vicinity of the mouth of the container (4). The lateral flange (9) extends inwardly by an amount sufficient to inhibit loss of liquid from the container during heating of the foodstuffs (5) in the container when inverted over a plate (6), and is sufficiently flexible after the heating to permit removal of the container (4) from the plate (6) without substantial disturbance of the foodstuffs (5). <IMAGE>
