Benefits of technology

The invention provides a food package with an easy-to-add extra food product. The package also includes a foil that can hold an extra food container, making it convenient for use.

Problems solved by technology

If the food is frozen, it may be possible to transfer the food to a plate prior to heating without too much problems, but for a non-frozen meal, the transfer of food is not practical.
Another disadvantage of such a package is that the different sections are fixed in size.
