More Information
Summary:A flexible pouch for cooking a food item using microwave energy. The pouch includes a base configured to retain hot gases above atmospheric pressure within the pouch to heat and cook the food item when the package is exposed to microwave energy. The pouch also includes a cover comprising a sealant layer and a score layer. The score layer includes a weak portion which ruptures and vents the pouch at a predictable location when pressure within the pouch due to the hot gasses exceeds a predetermined pressure. L'invention concerne une pochette flexible permettant de cuire un aliment en utilisant une énergie à micro-ondes. La pochette comprend une base configurée pour retenir des gaz chauds au-dessus de la pression atmosphérique à l'intérieur de la pochette pour chauffer et cuire l'aliment quand l'emballage est exposé à une énergie à micro-ondes. La pochette comprend également un couvercle comportant une couche d'étanchéité et une couche rainurée. La couche rainurée comprend une partie faible qui se casse et purge la pochette en un emplacement prévisible quand la pression à l'intérieur de la pochette due aux gaz chauds dépasse une pression prédéterminée.
