  • Single eyelet/notched nylon closure for cooking bag
    Patent number: 6290998
    Abstract: A cooking bag for edible food contents is secured by a closure in a coiled circle around a neck of the bag. The closure has a single eyelet and a pair of notches which catch in the single eyelet. A distance from the pair of notches to a center of the single eyelet is nonadjustable and predetermined. As a result, spillage of the edible food contents from the bag is prevented while steam is allowed to vent from the bag during cooking.
