Abstract
The invention relates to a variety of food, including frozen pasta sauce, packaged in a boilable pouch (“bag”) for food preparation. This invention teaches that sauce may be defrosted and heated thoroughly within a bag. By immersing the bag in boiling in water with other elements of the meal (e.g. pasta or other starch), multiple dishes may be cooked in the same pot of boiling water. The process includes packaging the frozen sauce in a vacuum-sealed boilable bag to form the packaged sauce. This present invention includes the manufacturing of frozen pasta sauce as well as to the heating of the sauce by end users (household consumers) in one pot together with pasta/starch or any other food capable of being cooked with boiling water (e.g. vegetables, meat, sausage etc.)—allowing for one pot preparation—“one pot prep.”
