Container Comprising Edible Manifold

US Patent:
20060068065, Mar 30, 2006
Filed:
Nov 18, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/282369
Inventors:
David Rettey - Tracy MN, US
Krishna Kanuru - Marshall MN, US
Wayne Pafko - Marshall MN, US
Mark Ingelin - Marshall MN, US
Mohamed Morad - Marshall MN, US
Assignee:
Schwans Sales Enterprises, Inc. - Marshall MN
International Classification:
A21D 13/00
US Classification:
426138000
Abstract:
A bread bowl or boule comprises a spherical edible shell. The volume of the shell provides a space, volume, or container of at least one individual serving size portion of a food material. The bowl typically comprises a spherical shell with an opening resulting from a section removed. The bowl can be manufactured by forming a bakable shell surrounding a fugitive space filling composition. Upon baking, the heat of baking results in a change of state such that the fugitive space filling material exits the interior of the bowl leaving a volume suitable for a single serving portion. The structure adapted for baking comprises an exterior dough shell and an interior fugitive section. Extruding the dough with a fugitive composition in the interior and sealing the extruded ends into a substantially rounded or spherical structure can make the production unit. In preparation, the unbaked bowl is baked leaving a spherical hollow structure. A section of the sphere is removed, exposing the interior volume and the consumable food is then introduced into the interior of the bowl.

Abstract:
A substantially planar food product comprises a farinaceous exterior with a filling interior. The substantially planar food has a farinaceous first surface and second surface with a filling formed therebetween. The edges can be sealed and the exterior surfaces of the food can be grilled. The fully grilled and cooked food can then be reheated in a toaster or toaster oven to provide a high quality sandwich-like product that has the appearance of preparation from fresh ingredients.

US Patent:
20090035423, Feb 5, 2009
Filed:
Jul 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/831609
Inventors:
David Charles Rettey - Tracy MN, US
Wayne Michael Pafko - Marshall MN, US
Joey J. Hasse - Marshall MN, US
Jim A. McGillivray - Lynd MN, US
Michelle Ruth Walter - Cincinnati OH, US
International Classification:
B65D 81/34
US Classification:
426113, 206564
Abstract:
A frozen pizza and tray combination includes a bakeable single-used disposable tray including a holding surface and a frozen pizza. The holding surface has a substantially flat cooking side and an opposite oven-engaging side. The frozen pizza includes a crust and toppings on the crust. The crust has a bottom surface positioned on and against the cooking side of the flat holding surface of the bakeable tray. The frozen pizza includes a cut arrangement extending through a thickness of the crust. The cut arrangement includes a cut line having uncut portions of the crust along the cut line. A method of making a combination frozen pizza and bakeable tray includes slicing the pizza with at least one cut line into individual serving pieces and leaving uncut portions along the cut line such that no individual serving piece is disconnected from a remaining portion of the pizza, and placing the sliced pizza into a bakeable tray to form a sliced pizza and tray arrangement, and then freezing the sliced pizza and tray arrangement. A method of making a pizza includes taking a frozen pizza and tray combination including a bakeable single-use disposable tray, wherein the frozen pizza includes a cut arrangement including a cut line having uncut portions along the cut line and putting the combination into an oven. Next, the combination is baked to result in a cooked pizza on the tray. Next, the tray holding the cooked pizza is removed from the oven, and the cooked pizza is divided into individual serving pieces by breaking the uncut portions of the crust. The tray is then disposed.
