Abstract:
1. A container for storing viscous food product contents, the container comprising: a. side walls and a concave bottom defining a container interior, wherein said concave bottom comprises a central aperture and wherein said food product contents are in continuous contact with said side walls; b. an open mouth through which the food product contents may be accessed; c. a container lid for sealing said open mouth of the container; d. a food product contents support base for placement within the container interior, said food product contents support base comprising: i. a dish-shaped central platform for holding the food product contents; ii. a detachable and replaceable outer scraping gasket disposed around said dish-shaped central platform and in scraping contact with said side walls for scraping food product contents from the side walls and into said dish-shaped central platform; iii. a central threaded aperture for receiving a threaded rod through said bottom central aperture; iv. a concave turn wheel fixed to said threaded rod and disposed outside of the container below and adjacent to the concave bottom in a nesting arrangement; and, v. a sealing gasket having a first seal disposed between the concave turn wheel and the concave bottom and a second seal disposed between the concave bottom and the dish-shaped central platform; vi. so that when the concave turn wheel is rotated clock-wise the threaded rod is similarly rotated thereby driving the dish-shaped central platform towards the open mouth of the container and causing the scraping gasket to scrape the walls clean of food product contents which fall onto the dish-shaped platform and further causing the food product contents to rise within the container for easier access via the mouth.
