A cooking bag enclosing a food item to be cooked therein is disclosed. The cooking bag may include a foil pouch having a foil pouch interior surface defining a food pocket therein for receiving and storing the food item and isolating the food item from an ambient atmosphere surrounding the foil pouch. A removable printed film sheet may be affixed to a foil pouch exterior surface by a releasable adhesive. The removable printed film sheet may be separable from the foil pouch exterior surface by peeling the releasable adhesive without breaking the foil pouch and exposing the food pocket and the food item to the ambient atmosphere. The food item may then be cooked in the foil pouch on a grill, in an oven, on a stove or with another appropriate heat source.

The invention aims to provide a heat-storage material which can prevent supercooling.

The heat-storage material according to the invention includes: a heat-storage substance which reversibly changes between an aqueous solution containing tetraalkylammonium salt and a clathrate hydrate containing the tetraalkylammonium salt as a guest molecule; and alum which is added to the aqueous solution containing tetraalkylammonium salt. Tetrabutylammonium bromide is used as the tetraalkylammonium salt. Potassium alum or ammonium alum is used as the alum.

Container for aquatic plants, which can be filled with water, the side walls and bottom of which comprise an outer wall and a bottom wall, respectively, in each instance, followed, toward the interior of the container, by an intermediate layer that consists of an insulating material. On the inside of the container, the insulating material is completely covered with a water-tight plastic film, in the manner of a tub, or by a water-tight basin composed of transparent glass. On the bottom of the tub or of the basin and/or in a plant pot situated in the container, there is a plant culture medium that makes growth of aquatic plants possible, and preferably winter-hardy and/or non-winter-hardy aquatic plants are disposed in the container, which is filled with water.

A system and a method are used to monitor spoilage conditions of a product. The system includes at least one two-way humidity control system and at least one computing system. The two-way humidity control system includes at least one beacon sensor, a normal humidity range is stored on the two-way humidity control system, and the two-way humidity control system is positioned within at least one enclosed product storage. The enclosed product storage is a sealed area where products can be stored to maintain the products in optimal environmental conditions. The two-way humidity control system detects humidity readings and regulates humidity within the enclosed product storage based on the normal humidity range. The beacon sensor detects environmental data and retrieves environmental data from other wireless sensors. The computing system processes the data collected by the beacon sensor to generate alerts, when the environmental conditions are abnormal, and environmental condition reports.
