A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230312211A1) describes a microwavable pouch with an automatic steam release mechanism. The pouch has a rectangular outer shape and includes a steam release portion and a steam release seal portion. The steam release seal portion is designed so that the circumference of an inscribed ellipse is positioned in a width region of the seal separation start portion of the steam release seal portion closest to the center point of an accommodation portion or in the vicinity of the seal separation start portion.

In claim 2, it is mentioned that the outer edge of the seal separation start portion of the steam release seal portion is in contact with the circumference of the inscribed ellipse. This design ensures that the steam release seal portion functions effectively in releasing steam during the microwaving process.

Claim 3 states that the seal strength of the steam release seal portion is equal to the seal strength of the peripheral seal portion. This indicates that the steam release seal portion is securely sealed and will not compromise the overall integrity of the pouch.

Lastly, claim 4 mentions that the steam release seal portion is provided continuously with the peripheral seal portion. This means that the steam release mechanism is seamlessly integrated into the pouch, ensuring a consistent and reliable steam release function.

Overall, this patent describes a microwavable pouch with an automatic steam release mechanism that is designed to release steam effectively during the microwaving process. The unique design of the steam release seal portion, in contact with an inscribed ellipse, ensures proper steam release while maintaining the seal strength of the pouch. The integration of the steam release mechanism with the peripheral seal portion ensures a continuous and reliable steam release function.
