Abstract (en)
The combination of a refrigerated microwaveable food entree (12) and stand-up pouch (11) is provided. The pouch of the combination is a flexible pouch (11) which has a foldable bottom panel (33) which defines an expanded configuration or an unexpanded closed configuration of the pouch (11) depending upon the extent that the unsealed portion (36, 37) of the bottom panel (33) is folded. The pouch (11) also includes areas (18, 19) by which the pouch can be safely grasped by the user even after the combination has been heated to eating temperatures, typically within a microwave oven. A method for providing a hot food entree (12) is also described, the entree (12) being a heated food component which had been pasteurized and refrigerated prior to heating for consumption. The hot food entree (12) includes protein sources, particularly meats and the like, typically within a sauce. <IMAGE>
