Definitions

  • the present invention provides packaging containing an amount of a consumable, the packaging containing an amount of a consumable comprising a container comprising an opening, and a closure closing the opening, wherein the container and the closure define a cavity having a first volume, the consumable is located in the cavity, the container is expandable such that the container may be expanded to have a second volume, and the second volume is greater than the first volume.
  • the container may further comprise a non-expandable top portion disposed between the open end and the elastic side wall, the top portion being contiguous with the opening.
  • the non-expandable top portion may comprise a flange or shoulder.
  • the elastic side wall may comprise a bellows-like structure.
  • the consumable may be an at least partially dehydrated foodstuff.
  • the step of compressing the container may comprise applying a force to the flange or shoulder.
  • Figure 6 is a schematic illustration (not to scale) of a top view the container coupled to the filling apparatus
  • the filling apparatus comprises a conveyor belt 20 and two parallel rails
  • step s2 container 2 is placed upright on the conveyor belt 20 such that the bottom of the container 2 (i.e. the closed end) is in contact with the conveyor belt 20, and such that the opening 10 (at the top of the container 2) is accessible from above.
  • the pre-determined amount of the hot liquid is an amount sufficient to hydrate the foodstuff 28.
  • the pre-determined amount of hot liquid may be indicated to the consumer in any appropriate way, for example, by a mark on the surface of the container 2 to which the container 2 is to be filled with hot liquid (i.e. a "fill level" marker).
  • the consumer may replace the screw lid 32 onto the container 2 and leave the foodstuff 28 to stand (i.e. to "cook") for a certain time period.
  • the replacement of the lid 32 advantageously tends to prevent spillage of the heated and hydrated foodstuff 28 during the cooking process, and also tends to prevent the heated and hydrated foodstuff 28 cooling too much before consumption.
  • the consumer consumes the contents of the container 2 (i.e. the hydrated and heated foodstuff 28) from the container 2.
  • the container is advantageously reusable. For example, after the foodstuff has been consumed, the container may be recompressed and refilled, and an airtight seal (e.g. the screw lid) reapplied. The reapplied airtight seal prevents air entering into the container, thereby keeping the container in its recompressed (e.g. fully compressed) state.
  • an airtight seal e.g. the screw lid
  • the vertical height of the top portion 4 of the further container 100 from the opening 10 to the shoulder 15 is 1 1 .80mm.
  • the external diameter of the shoulder 15 is substantially equal to the external diameter of the intermediate portion 8 (at the widest point of the intermediate portion 8).
  • this dimension is 87.0mm.
