Abstract

Food, e.g. soup or a vegetable, fruit, meat, fish or fowl to which water or a syrup has been added, is heated to sterilize it, and preferably also to cook it partially, and also to cause the evolution of water vapour, and introduced into a flexible-walled, impervious container, e.g. of rubber hydrohalide, a cellulose ester, or a vinyl ester sheet material, to leave a substantial head space in the container, or alternatively, such a container already containing the measured amount of the food is so heated, and upon filling of the head space with water vapour, the container is hermetically sealed; the sealed container is then allowed to cool, whereupon the upper portions thereof collapse. The container is preferably of material fusible on at least the inner face, sealing being effected by bringing the mouth portions face to face and applying heat and pressure to a transverse strip of the mouth so flattened. The food within the sealed container is preferably quick-frozen, and so maintained until reheated in the container, e.g. by subjection to a high frequency induction field for a few seconds, for the final cooking and serving. A case of fibre board or the like, having internal dimensions smaller than the corresponding external dimensions of the extended container is advantageously employed for supporting the container.
