FOOD CONTAINER WITH EMBEDDED SIFTING APPARATUS

摘要

This device is an airtight food storage container, with a sifting compartment built into the bottom portion. The container includes lids at both the top and bottom. The top lid can be opened to pour out the larger pieces of food, while the bottom lid can be opened to remove smaller pieces from the container. The embedded sifter is adjustable so the size and amounts of food to be separated can be controlled. This is made possible by the combination of an adjuster plate and sifter device. The sifting device has alternating rows of small and large holes. The adjuster plate, which is placed directly beneath the sifting device, has rows of open slots, which correspond with the holes. The user can slide the adjuster plate to align the slots with either small or large holes, which will vary the degree of sifting.
