Abstract: A fresh packaging system for roast and ground coffee having a top load capacity of at least about 16 pounds (7.3 Kg) comprising a container with a closed bottom, an open top, and a body enclosing a perimeter between the bottom and the top. A protuberance is continuously disposed around the perimeter of the body proximate to the top and forms a ridge external to the body. A flexible closure is removeably attached and sealed to the protuberance so that the closure seals the interior volume of the container. The container bottom and container body are constructed from a material having a tensile modulus number ranging from at least about 35,000 to at least about 650,000 pounds per square inch (at least about 2,381 to at least about 44,230 atm).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a package for heating and/or cooking a food product in a microwave oven in which the package includes means for supporting the package at an angle between about 0 degrees to about 90 degrees relative to a horizontal surface. The present invention is also directed to a kit for heating and/or cooking a food product in a microwave oven. The kit comprises a first package containing the food products to be heated and/or cooked and a second microwaveable package. The microwave package of the present invention may also include a flexible, two-sided divider.
