CONTAINER HAVING A SELECTIVELY DETACHABLE LID INCLUDING A RIGID TAB MEMBER

摘要

A container (10) including a combination of a bowl (12) and a selectively detachable lid (14) is disclosed. The bowl is a unitary structure including an upwardly projecting wall (18) having a peripherally extending substantially U-shaped sealing lip (32). The selectively detachable lid is also a unitary structure including a body (30) having a peripheral sealing lip (32) which mates with the sealing lip of the bowl and at least one laterally extending tab member (40) to assist in removing the lid from the bowl. Both the bowl and lid portions are preferably made from a resilient polymeric material suitable for both freezing and microwave reheating.
