Abstract
A nestable container for storing and preparing a food comprises a base portion which holds the stored food and a lid. The stored food requires substantially less than the full volume of the base portion. The lid is recessed into the base portion being supported by the upper terminus of the side wall of the base portion. The lid may also have one or more recessed areas to hold a second food which is to be mixed with that in the base portion. In use the container is removed from the nested stack, the lid removed, milk or water added if the food in the container is a cereal and the contents heated. The lid can be used as a cover during heating. The second food contained in the lid can be added before or after heating.
