Abstract:

A container for food products which includes a large, smooth, continuously curved label area on a front wall, a large label area on a top cover, and a pair of stabilizing projections such as beads associated with the bottom edge of the front wall to stabilize the container in a display position in which the top wall is tilted up to an inclined upright position rather than a horizontal position, with the stabilizing projections engaging a support surface on which the container is supported. In its preferred embodiment, the container comprises a pair of compartments joined by a generally horizontal web having a flange which includes a flat stabilizing front transverse edge portion to cooperate with the stabilizing projections on the curved bottom edge of the front wall. The compartments comprise a larger front compartment and a smaller rear compartment to maintain an acceptably low center of mass for satisfactory stability when the container is in its inclined position.

Abstract:

A packaged food product and methods of making and using it. In some embodiments. The packaged food product may comprise a cup containing multiple ingredients in sealed pouches suitable for use in making an omelet or other egg-based entrées, with the cup being suitable for microwave cooking of an egg-based entrée.

Ideally, time required for processing, shipment, storage, etc., which may be, e.g., several weeks, may pass without unacceptable degradation of taste, texture, mouth feel, flavor, aroma, color, nutritional content or other important qualities. In some embodiments, the ingredients may also include additional components, such as, for example, one or more meats, and/or one or more varieties of cheese.
