ABSTRACT:
A tubular absorbent pad for food products and a method of manufacturing the pad are disclosed. The pad comprises at least one plastic sheet defining an outer layer of an axially elongated tube having a perforated moisture permeable portion. Absorbent material is disposed inwardly of the plastic sheet and defines at least one absorbent layer of the elongated tube, and super-absorbent material is disposed inwardly of the absorbent sheet, to form a tubular absorbent pad which can absorb liquid exuded from a food product. The invention further provides, in combination, a tray and one or more tubular absorbent pads, the tray being constructed and arranged for receiving the tubular absorbent pads. The tray comprises a body having a generally flat central section and four upstanding walls, the body defining at least one channel surrounding the central section which is shaped to receive tubular absorbent pads. The invention also provides a tray including a body having a generally flat central section and at least one channel disposed in the central section to receive the tubular absorbent pad. In another embodiment, the invention provides a tray comprising a body having a first layer spaced from a second layer. The first layer has a plurality of perforations to permit moisture from a food product supported on the first layer to migrate therethrough. The second layer includes a plurality of upstanding support knobs. At least one channel is defined along an edge of the body and shaped to receive the tubular absorbent pad.
