Abstract
A baking container having one or more rupture lines for ease of removal and separation from a baked foodstuff is described herein. The baking container has a sidewall and a planar bottom face. One or more rupture lines may run down a height of the sidewall and across a portion or all of the planar bottom face. Rupture lines having even spacing may form a strip, and the strip may have a pull tab to easily tear through the sidewall. The strip may be reinforced with a string or ribbon. The rupture lines may be formed by perforating or weakening areas of the baking container.

1-55. (canceled)
A baking container, comprising:
- a planar bottom face, having a periphery;
- a sidewall extending from the periphery to a rim;
- and
- a rupture line extending from the rim to a first point on the periphery, extending from the first point on the periphery to a second point on the planar bottom face located within the periphery, and further extending to a third point located on an opposite side of the periphery from the first point,
- wherein the rupture line is formed by perforations,
- wherein the perforations comprise dots, pinholes, or circular holes,
- wherein the rupture line is configured to be torn to open the sidewall to ease removal from and/or consumption of a foodstuff contained therein, and
- wherein the baking container is configured to be completely separated into two distinct parts via the rupture line.
A baking container, comprising:
- a planar bottom face, having a periphery;
- a sidewall extending from the periphery to a rim;
- and
- a rupture line extending from the rim to a first point on the periphery, extending from the first point on the periphery to a second point on the planar bottom face located within the periphery, and further extending to a third point located on an opposite side of the periphery from the first point,
- wherein the rupture line is formed by depressions or scores,
- wherein the rupture line is configured to be torn to open the sidewall to ease removal from and/or consumption of a foodstuff contained therein, and
- wherein the baking container is configured to be completely separated into two distinct parts via the rupture line.
A baking container, comprising:
- a planar bottom face, having a periphery;
- a sidewall extending from the periphery to a rim;
- and
- a rupture line extending from the rim to a first point on the periphery, extending from the first point on the periphery to a second point on the planar bottom face located within the periphery, and further extending to a third point located on an opposite side of the periphery from the first point,
- wherein the rupture line is formed by perforations,
- wherein the perforations comprise elongated slits having an elongated axis having an angle to the rupture line,
- wherein the rupture line is configured to be torn to open the sidewall to ease removal from and/or consumption of a foodstuff contained therein, and
- wherein the baking container is configured to be completely separated into two distinct parts via the rupture line.
