Partitioned food package

A method for packaging food comprising:

• providing a container including an enclosure including an interior with a base portion and a perimeter portion, the perimeter portion of the interior extending between the base portion of the interior and an opening of the enclosure;
• placing a first food layer including a first side and an opposite second side in the container, a perimeter portion of the first food layer extending between the first side and the second side of the first food layer and substantially matching a corresponding portion of the perimeter portion of the interior;
• placing a partition member in the container, the partition member including a separating portion with a perimeter substantially matching a cross-sectional shape of the perimeter portion of the interior of the enclosure, and the partition member including at least a pair of pulling structures, the separating portion positioned adjacent the second side of the first food layer, and the pulling structures extending from the separating portion through the opening of the enclosure and to a grip positioned outside of the interior of the enclosure;
• placing a second food layer including a first side and an opposite second side in the container, a perimeter portion of the second food layer extending between the first side and the second side of the second food layer and substantially matching a corresponding portion of the perimeter portion of the interior, the first side of the second food layer positioned adjacent the separating portion;
• placing a lid of the container over the opening of the enclosure and thereby covering the opening of the enclosure and thereby configuring the container in a storage configuration, wherein the lid includes a lip, wherein the perimeter portion of the interior terminates at an edge that surrounds the opening of the enclosure, and wherein the lip of the lid surrounds the edge of the perimeter portion when the container is in the storage configuration;
• hooking the pulling structure over the edge at least when the container is in the storage configuration;
• and
• positioning the grip of the pulling structures between an interior surface of the lip of the lid and an exterior of the enclosure;
• wherein the lid of the container is adapted to uncover the opening of the enclosure when the container is in a serving configuration;
• and
• wherein the first food layer is separated from the second food layer by the partition member.

A container for food comprising:

• an enclosure including an interior with a base portion and a perimeter portion, the perimeter portion of the interior extending between the base portion of the interior and an opening of the enclosure;
• a lid adapted to cover the opening of the enclosure when the container is in a storage configuration and also adapted to uncover the opening of the enclosure when the container is in a serving configuration;
• a first lifting member adapted to lift a first food layer from a second food layer, the first lifting member including a first lifting portion adapted to be positioned between the first food layer and the second food layer, and the first lifting member further including at least one pulling structure extending from the first lifting portion to a grip of the first lifting member positioned outside of the interior of the enclosure at least when the container is in the storage configuration, the at least one pulling structure of the first lifting member positioned adjacent the perimeter portion of the interior;
• and
• a second lifting member adapted to lift the second food layer from a third food layer, the second lifting member including a second lifting portion adapted to be positioned between the second food layer and the third food layer, the second lifting member further including at least one pulling structure extending from the second lifting portion of the second lifting member to a grip of the second lifting member positioned outside of the interior of the enclosure at least when the container is in the storage configuration, the at least one pulling structure of the second lifting member positioned adjacent the perimeter portion of the interior.
