Described herein are food items that are configured to facilitate cooking or heating in multifunction pressure cookers with increased efficiency. In some embodiments, a food item may be frozen, and may be a single, unitary, integral one-piece block or chunk that is heated by itself in the cooker. Also disclosed herein are processes associated with the above-described combination, such as methods of preparing, packaging, and heating of food products. Also disclosed are containers and molds that can be used to form frozen food products with a shape and structure corresponding to inner cavities of heating devices. In some cases, containers or molds can also serve as packaging for one or more of storage, shipping, retail display, sale and consumer handling of frozen food products.

An elongate closure (10; 110) for closing an access side of a flexible packaging comprises an elongate plastic body (12; 112), wherein the body (12; 112) has a first face (22; 120) that is turned towards the access side of the flexible packaging in a closed position, a second face (24; 122) that is turned away from the access side of the flexible packaging in a closed position, and at least one thickened rib (14, 16; 114) extending over the length of the body (12; 112), wherein the at least one thickened rib (14, 16; 114) has at least two projecting parts (26; 124) separated by a recess (28; 126) at the second face (24; 122). The elongate closure can be a clip band type closure or a twist tie type closure.

A tubular casing has a package design (la) printed on an original fabric film (1) with transparent no-print zones (2, 3) formed along left and right end edges (2a, 3a). Best before date characters (4) are inkjet printed on the no-print zone (2). The fabric film (1) is bent to place the no-print zone (2) with printed characters on a lower side and form the fabric film (1) in a cylindrical shape. A heat seal portion (H) is formed including the date characters (4), in the no-print zone (2) located on the lower side. The heat seal portion (H) is formed up to the end edge (2a) of the no-print zone (2) and a no-heat seal portion (S) is formed on the end edge (3a) side of the no-print zone (3) located on an upper side to form a casing portion. Both ends of the casing portion are sealed.
