ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for storing or preserving perishables such as meat has a vessel with an open upper end. The vessel may be provided with a cooling system. The vessel has a projecting rim and a U-shaped carrier is placed on top of the vessel upside down so as to engage the rim. The carrier supports a plunger which may be moved up-and-down inside the vessel and may be clamped in any position. A jack is releasably mounted on the carrier and operates to move the plunger down in the vessel. Perishables such as slabs of meat are placed in the vessel to form a stack therein. Air spaces in the stack are minimized by placing the perishables in full surface-to-surface contact with one another and with the walls of the vessel. A cover is placed on the stack and the plunger is lowered onto the cover. The jack is operated to move the plunger downward and thereby pressurize the stack. Sufficient pressure is applied to essentially eliminate any air spaces which remain in the stack and to squeeze a small amount of juice out of the perishables near the upper surface of the stack. The amount of juice is just sufficient to cover and thereby protect the upper surface of the stack. The sides and bottom of the stack are protected by the walls of the vessel. The plunger is clamped so that it continues to apply pressure to the stack and the jack is removed and used to pressurize perishables in another vessel.
