when enjoying the currently popular self-heating foods. The plastic box itself is relatively soft, and after heating, although it will not melt, its wall will become softer. When you want to pour out the hot wastewater, you must be very careful to avoid scalding yourself. After consumption, the discarded plastic box also occupies a large space in the trash can, while for a disposable aluminum foil container, you can easily crumple it into a ball, which is more convenient to handle.
Generally, self-heating premade meals use a heating bag solution. This can indeed produce enough heat for food in a container of ordinary capacity, and can even cook rice. However, the heat produced by this scheme is still very limited, and it is very time-consuming. When facing large-capacity premade meals, such as hot pots, it seems powerless. Not to mention, without enough heat, meat cannot produce a Maillard reaction, and get a more attractive aroma and flavor.
mingtan once designed a packaging solution for a hot pot brand’s customer. Use our disposable large-capacity heat-sealing aluminum foil container as the packaging for hot pot ingredients, and give away a simple folding rack and solid alcohol lamp. Consumers only need to tear off part of the aluminum foil lid, fill in water, then set it up with a rack, and then light the solid alcohol lamp at the bottom for heating. In this way, you can enjoy hot food like a real hot pot. Of course, you can also put the container directly on the induction cooker or gas stove for heating after filling the water, absorbing more sufficient heat.
