Abstract
In one embodiment, a minimally-processed microwaveable lobster product including a lobster tail, a fat-containing composition, and a microwaveable package. The lobster tail has a shell containing lobster meat. The shell has a longitudinal axis with at least one cut formed generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. The fat-containing composition is disposed in a region above the lobster tail. The microwaveable package has first and second resilient layers. The first resilient layer is disposed under the lobster tail and contacts the lobster tail. The second resilient layer is disposed above the lobster tail and contacts the lobster tail and the fat-containing composition.
Claims18
A microwaveable lobster product comprising:
- a lobster tail having a shell containing lobster meat, the shell having a longitudinal axis with at least one cut formed generally parallel to the longitudinal axis;
- wherein the lobster tail has been substantially separated from a body portion of a lobster;
- a fat-containing composition disposed in a region above the lobster tail;
- and
- a vacuum-packed microwaveable package comprising first and second resilient layers, the first resilient layer disposed under the lobster tail and contacting the lobster tail, and the second resilient layer disposed above the lobster tail and contacting the lobster tail and the fat-containing composition;
- wherein the vacuum-packed microwavable package is vented and
- wherein the first and second resilient layer are non-rigid.
A method for manufacturing a microwaveable lobster product, the method comprising:
- (a) substantially separating a lobster tail from a body portion of a lobster;
- (b) forming at least one cut generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shell of the lobster tail containing lobster meat;
- (c) disposing a fat-containing composition in a region above the lobster tail;
- and
- (d) disposing the lobster tail and the fat-containing composition together in a vacuum-packed microwaveable package comprising first and second resilient layers, such that the first resilient layer is disposed under the lobster tail and contacts the lobster tail, and the second resilient layer is disposed above the lobster tail and contacts the lobster tail and the fat-containing composition;
- wherein the vacuum-packed microwavable package is vented;
- and wherein the first and second resilient layer are non-rigid.
