A food package for use in a method of cooking comprises two open-mouthed containers 4, 6 (Figure 1) or 302, 304 (Figure 6) each containing a food component and able to assume a storage condition as shown in which respective interiors of the containers are each releasably sealable from the atmosphere, and a closure condition in which the second container 6, 304 overlies and is supported by the first container 4, 302 with the container mouths confronting one another whereby the second container partly or wholly covers the mouth of the first container. In Figure 1, second container 6 is inverted in the closure condition whereas, in Figure 6, second container 304 and a further, similar container 306 are folded over on top of the first container 302. The method of cooking comprises (1) removing the sealing means from the first and second containers; (2) arranging the containers in the said closure condition so as to allow emptying of the food component in the second container into the first container; and, when the containers are in the closure condition, (3) subjecting the food components to a cooking operation by applying to the package heat or microwave radiation. The food component initially in the second container may be a thickened sauce material adhering to the internal surface of the container. <IMAGE> |
