Abstract (en)
[origin: US6447825B1] Instant menu pack having a substantially tray-like base part, whose circumferential side wall diverges outwards from a substantially flat bottom towards the upper edge thereof and passes there into an outwardly projecting, substantially flat, bottom-parallel, circumferential marginal flange, an instant menu filled into the base part having at least two components with a different consistency, which is preferably pre-cooked and deep-freezable after filling into the base part, and a sealing foil sealed onto the marginal flange after filling the instant menu, characterized in that the base part is made from a material permeable to microwave energy and which can absorb water at least in its surface layer facing the instant menu and whose thermal expansion coefficient in the temperature range between -20° C. and room temperature is lower than that of the instant menu, that the marginal flange is given a flexible-deformable construction in such a way that following the removal of the sealing foil it engages relatively closely on a circumferential opposite face, which is substantially parallel to the marginal flange, such as the rim of a plate or the like, that between the level of the instant menu remote from the bottom and the inner face of the sealing foil facing the bottom is left a functional space, and that the components of the instant menu are filled into the base part in a layer arrangement perpendicular to the bottom in such a way that the individual layers have an order opposite to the intended order of the individual components on consumption, as well as method for producing and making ready for use such an instant menu pack.
