AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a packaged food product in a container that can be heated and / or cooked in an oven without the need to open the container. The container protects the consumer from the heated product and allows for easy re-seal of the closure. The invention also allows for easy evacuation of steam from the container without actually opening and removing the lid. This reduces the risk of contamination, spilling, and burning of fingers.

Problems solved by technology

Such a release is usually quite violent and a destructive mechanism, in the sense of breaking open a closed seal.
Such a mechanism typically does not allow for re-sealing of the vent.
