Abstract

A method and system for storing food using a plurality of containment units (200) that can be held in a storage tray (210) for temporary storage and transferred to a storage container (220) with a cap (222) attachable to the storage container (220) for an airtight seal for longer term storage on a rack (250) in a freezer. The containment unit (200) and/or the storage container (220) can be vacuum sealed. The storage container (220) and cap (222) may have windows.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]This invention relates a food storage system and methods for storing food, particularly in a freezer.BACKGROUND[0002]Unfortunately, most containers for storing food in the freezer are made of plastic which directly contacts the food. There is growing concern over the potentially adverse health effects from plastic food containers. Plastic food containers after disposal find their way into landfill, contaminating the environment. There are containers that are made of other materials ceramics or metallic; these however are not efficiently designed to save space in the freezer. As population density grows living space decreases in urban areas. There will be a need for a compact space saving frozen food storage system. Time for preparing food is also a commodity. Saving time in the kitchen with an efficient means to defrost frozen food in measured portions would help meet demands of modern life. There is no system that molds food into frozen portions that are the...
