Container Having Internal Reservoir

A container for a perishable product, the container comprising:

• a first tray having a first bottom wall and a surrounding first sidewall extending generally upwardly from the first bottom wall to define a space therein;
• and
• a second tray having a second bottom wall and a surrounding second sidewall extending generally upwardly from the second bottom wall, the second bottom wall having at least one aperture defined in a central region thereof, the second bottom wall having an upper surface sloping downwardly toward the at least one aperture;
• the second tray disposed within the space of the first tray to define a reservoir therebetween, at least a portion of the first sidewall and at least a portion of the second sidewall spaced from each other to define a chamber of the reservoir therebetween, the reservoir in fluid communication with the aperture.

A container for a perishable product, the container comprising:

• a first tray divided into a plurality of cells, each cell having a cell bottom wall and a surrounding cell sidewall extending generally upwardly from the corresponding cell bottom wall to define individual cell spaces therein;
• and
• a second tray having a plurality of drain areas, each drain area corresponding to one of the plurality of cells of the first tray, each drain area having a bottom wall with at least one aperture defined in a central region thereof, the bottom wall of each drain area having an upper surface sloping downwardly toward the at least one aperture of the drain area, the second tray further having a surrounding sidewall extending generally upwardly from the plurality of drain areas;
• each drain area of the second tray disposed within a respective cell space of the first tray to define corresponding reservoirs therebetween, each reservoir being in fluid communication with a respective aperture.
