L'expérience montre que les frites ainsi obtenues, ne sont pas cuites d'une manière uniforme du fait que seule l'une des quatre faces de chaque frite  Experience shows that the fries thus obtained are not cooked uniformly since only one of the four sides of each fries

Cette cuisson affecte la qualité gustative des frites. Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à l'inconvénient ci-dessus, tout en facilitant la  This cooking affects the taste quality of the fries. The object of the present invention is to remedy the above drawback, while facilitating the

Les ouvertures de l'emballage permettent à la chaleur de pénétrer à l'intérieur de l'emballage et à la vapeur formée lors de la cuisson de s'échapper de l'emballage. Les essais ont montré que l'emballage selon l'invention permettait de réduire d'environ 40% le temps de cuisson. De plus, les essais ont montré que les frites cuites dans l'emballage selon l'invention n'étaient pas excessivement grasses et étaient cuites d'une manière uniforme, de sorte que leurs qualités  The openings in the package allow heat to enter the interior of the package and steam formed during cooking to escape from the package. Tests have shown that the packaging according to the invention makes it possible to reduce the cooking time by approximately 40%. In addition, tests have shown that the fries cooked in the packaging according to the invention were not excessively fatty and were cooked in a uniform manner, so that their qualities

gustatives sont sensiblement améliorées.  taste are significantly improved.
