Frozen desserts contained in a microwave active packaging are disclosed. In some embodiments, the microwave active packaging includes a microwave active layer configured to selectively heat the contents of the microwave active packaging. The contents may include a first layer of frozen food, and one or more additional topping layers. When placed into a microwave, the microwave active layer causes the one or more additional topping layers to heat, while the first layer is maintained at or below a freezing temperature. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

A closable cooking pouch includes a heat resistant pouch body with a flap attached to it. The flap is tuckable into an opening the permits access to the pouch's interior. To close the pouch, the flap is tucked into the pouch's interior and a hook portion that forms part of the flap is inserted through a slot on the pouch body. Once through the slot, the hook portion retains at least a portion of the flap in the slot when the pouch is closed and typically provides sufficient retaining force to keep the pouch closed if it is flipped while being used for cooking. The pouch may be manufactured from a single sheet of material.

A low-temperature vacuum cooking device and a cooking appliance including low-temperature vacuum cooking device are provided. The cooking appliance may include a housing including a container mount and a vacuum-packing module mount provided adjacent to each other, a first container having a space to accommodate a liquid therein, the first container being configured to be coupled with the container mount, a heater that heats the liquid accommodated in the first container, a vacuum pressure generator installed on the vacuum-packing module mount to suction air inside a food packing bag, a sealer installed adjacent to the vacuum pressure generator that heats the food packing bag in order to seal it, a cover rotatably installed on the housing to cover or open the first container and the vacuum pressure generator, and a high-temperature cooking unit including a top plate and a high-temperature heater provided at a lower portion of the top plate.

A vacuum low-temperature cooker includes a main body having a heating unit immersed in fluid accommodated in an accommodation tub and heating the fluid, a vacuum packaging unit connected to the main body and vacuum-sealing a packaging film, and a control unit installed in the main body or the vacuum packaging unit, and electrically connected to the heating unit and the vacuum packaging unit so as to control the heating unit and the vacuum packaging unit.

There is provided a cooking bag having one or more integrated features for assisting in cooking a food item via sous vide or other convectional cooking methods. One such feature is an interior bag wall that separates its interior volume into first and second compartments, one for a food item to be cooked and the other for a solid seasoning item. The interior bag wall includes a liquid permeable portion that allows liquid to pass between the first and second compartments but inhibits the passage of solids. Another feature is a thermometer integrated into the bag for indicating whether a food item has reached a predetermined threshold temperature during cooking.

A package containing nuts and suitable for microwave heating is described herein. The package is configured to heat the nuts and provide an aroma reminiscent of traditional, freshly-roasted nuts. The freshly-roasted nut attributes include an aroma, temperature, texture and taste, which are reproduced with the microwave package. The package preferably, though not necessarily, incorporates one or more susceptors in order to provide additional heating, such as conductive heating, to the nuts. The package also preferably includes a sufficient headspace to allow for the aromas to develop.
