Abstract
Stackable infusion filtration and storage systems are described herein. Components of the systems may include a first container, a second container, and a cooperating third container. The stackable systems may further include a sleeve component and one or more lids. The stackable systems can concurrently capture liquid as the liquid separates from an infused butter mixture and solidify butter in separate cooperating stackable containers. Methods of use are also described.
Claims26
A stackable infusion filtration and storage system, the system comprising:
- a first container, the first container comprising a bottom, at least one sidewall, and an open interior chamber, wherein at least one of the bottom or the at least one sidewall of the first container comprises a plurality of apertures;
- and
- a second container sized to receive the first container, the second container comprising a closed bottom, at least one sidewall, and an open interior chamber,
- wherein the bottom of the first container sits within the open interior chamber of the second container a distance above the bottom of the second container when the first container and the second container are assembled together in a stacked and nested relationship.
A method for making an infused butter using a stackable infusion filtration and storage system, the method comprising:
- providing a stackable container set comprising a first container and a second container sized to receive the first container, wherein the first container comprises a bottom, at least one sidewall, and an open interior chamber, at least one of the bottom or the at least one sidewall of the first container comprises a plurality of apertures, and wherein the second container comprises a closed bottom, at least one sidewall, and an open interior chamber, the at least one sidewall of the second container having a top edge portion;
- providing an infused butter mixture comprising one or more infusion materials and at least one liquid;
- placing the first container into the second container with the first container residing a distance in a range of about 2 inches to about 10 inches above the bottom of the second container, thereby allowing the first container to sit within the open interior chamber of the second container in a stacked and nested relationship;
- pouring the infused butter mixture into the first container while held by the second container;
- then
- flowing the at least one liquid of the infused butter mixture through the plurality of apertures in the first container while the first container remains held by the second container;
- and
- then collecting the at least one liquid in the open interior chamber of the second container while the first container remains held by the second container.
A stackable infusion filtration and storage system, the system comprising:
- a first container, the first container comprising a bottom portion, at least one sidewall having at least one outwardly extending flange, and an open interior chamber, the bottom portion of the first container comprising a plurality of through apertures;
- a sleeve sized to receive the first container, the sleeve comprising at least one sidewall having an annular shoulder and an open interior;
- a second container sized to concurrently receive the sleeve and the first container, the second container comprising a bottom, at least one sidewall, and an open interior chamber,
- wherein the bottom of the first container sits within the open interior chamber of the second container a distance above the bottom of the second container when the first container, the sleeve, and the second container are assembled together in a stacked and nested relationship.
