Publication number: 20190322437Abstract: A container for preserving the freshness of a stored food product is disclosed. The container has a receptacle with a piston and seal arrangement that creates a variable volume for food storage. A vent and seal arrangement allows for the removal of air as the piston is oved within the receptacle to reduce the volume within. A removable engaging member pushes the piston upward in order to reduce the inner volume of the container as the food stored in the container is consumed. This reduction in space and associated removal of air inhibit the oxidation and spoilage of many popular foods such as guacamole. With the engaging member removed, the container is also useful for serving the stored food product. t.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Applicant: Guac-Lock LLCInventors: Sharon Lonner, Jane Caplan, Ran Lerner, Flavio De Roma Leao
