ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method for filling containers with a base food product which self-supports a topping or sauce includes the steps of placing a transparent removable lid on top of an empty con- tainer and providing an opening in the bottom of the container. The container is inverted so the lid is on the bottom and the opening is on top. The topping is introduced to the container through the opening to form a layer overlying the inside surface of the lid. The remainder of the inverted container is then filled with a base food product and the opening is sealed. The container is then re-inverted to a right-side-up position and the base food product self-supports the topping beneath the removable lid. The base product can be a gellable food product, such as flavored gelatin which gel sets while the containter is inverted to attain a sufficient gel strength to self support a more dense topping when the container is re- positioned in the right-side-up position. Containers can be filled with base products of pudding and cheese in a similar manner. In another embodiment, the topping can be a sauce, and the contents of the container are frozen while the con- tainer is inverted. Containers can be filled with ice cream and toppings in a similar manner. When the topping is formed as a layer on the inside of the lid it displaces air adjacent the lid and creates a partial vacuum that adheres the topping to the undersurface of the lid when the container is re- inverted to the right-side-up position. By eliminating an air space between the topping and the lid, discoloration of the food is inhibited and the topping is clearly visible to consumers through the see-through lid. ?07-1
