Abstract: The present invention provides a container suitable for pressurized non-flowable consumer goods such as refrigeratable bread doughs and the like. In a first embodiment, the container includes a removable lid, a shell having sidewalls, and a piston plate. The bottom of the container includes an access port therethrough to permit access to the piston plate, which may be urged upwardly to remove product from the container. In a second embodiment, the container includes a removable lid, a shell having sidewalls and a bottom, and a removable liner. The liner may include manually graspable flanges and a stirrup extending beneath the product. The product may be removed from the container by grasping the flanges of the liner and withdrawing the liner and the product through the open top of the shell.

Abstract: A self-generating gas pressure apparatus such as an expandable closed pouch for placement within a container from which a fluid therein is to be dispensed under pressure. The apparatus has a plurality of internal compartments formed by pressure-rupturable seals and containing respective chemical compounds which when mixed upon adjacent-compartment seal rupture produce a gas. At least one of two adjacently-housed chemical compounds has in addition thereto a nucleating agent such as diatomaceous earth which acts to more rapidly force gas generated in the reaction of the adjacently-housed chemical compounds out of solution and thereby provide an operative pressure to the apparatus more quickly.
