Packaging for ready-to-serve meal, especially for deep frozen food

摘要

Deep frozen food resting on a dish with sides under a lid (20), is simultaneously thawed and cooked for consumption in a steam oven. The dish (12) is subdivided at the center (16) into two compartments linked by a raised bridging panel with a hole at its center. The lid (20) is slightly concave and drains condensed water to a center hole (21) positioned above the drain hole in the bridging panel.
