摘要

The system has a container (11) with an open end and a food holding area, and a lid (50) securable about the open end of the container. A lifting basket (10) is sized to fit within the food holding area, where the lifting basket includes a base (12) connected to a handle assembly by a vertical support structure (13) including a cage (15) disposed intermediate the handle assembly and the base. The base defines one or more drainage apertures disposed to allow a fluid path from a base side to another base side. An independent claim is also included for a method for filling a food packaging system.
