Abstract: The invention concerns a regeneration household machine (10) for regenerating packaged cooked and subsequently cooled to chilled, ambient or frozen temperatures portions of food. The machine (10) comprises at least one compartment (16, 18) adapted to receive, preferably when it is empty, at least one packaged cooked and subsequently cooled to chilled, ambient or frozen temperatures portion of food to be regenerated and at least one conduct (65, 65b, 65c, 68a, 69, 69a, 69b) for feeding a heating fluid into said at least one compartment (16, 18), heating means (72) being provided at said at least one conduct in order to heat said heating fluid at a desired temperature depending on the recipe of the food of said at least one packaged cooked and subsequently cooled to chilled, ambient or frozen temperatures portion of food.

Abstract: A packaging capsule is described including an internal space configured to accommodate one portion of food. The internal space is delimited by a bottom surface with one planar portion, a side wall extending upwardly from the bottom surface and including, at a free end portion, a flange extending outwardly with respect to the internal space on a plane substantially parallel to the one planar portion, and a film removably associated with the flange. The flange has an easy-opening area configured for allowing grasping and initial detachment of the film from the flange. Two opposite first portions of the flange include respective reinforced portions defining both grasping elements for handling the capsule and supporting the rigidity of the capsule when it is out of a compartment of a household machine and guiding elements for guiding the capsule during insertion/extraction of the capsule into/from the compartment.
