Abstract

The system and method for providing dynamic and static information on a label relating to a sealed package for cooking. The dynamic information can include data about the contents of the package which can include spoiling events or thawing which can impact the further processing of the contents, wherein the contents of the label can be used by itself and or with a user selected ready time to control the cooking of the sealed package.

Claims

1. A package for providing an automated, controlled cooking process, the package including:

a) a sealed container including a thermally conductive layer;

b) a multicomponent label for scanning, the label including;

i) a static region including information about the content inside the sealed thermally conductive layer;

ii) a dynamic region, including thermal information which may be used in the cooking process of the package.

2. The package of claim 1, wherein the static region and dynamic regions of the multicomponent label are separate.

3. The package of claim 1, wherein the thermal information includes the current temperature of the package.

4. The package of claim 1, wherein the thermal information includes information corresponding to a spoilage event.

5. The package of claim 1, wherein the static information includes information corresponding to a predetermined cooking time for the package.

6. The package of claim 1, wherein the static information includes information corresponding to a predetermined cooking temperature for the package.

7. The package of claim 1, wherein the static information includes information corresponding to a portion size contained within the package.

8. The package of claim 1, wherein the static information includes information corresponding to a protein type contained within the package.

9. The package of claim 1, wherein the container is made substantially entirely of the thermally conductive layer.
