Method of applying sauce to food product

Abstract

A sauce applicator apparatus combination for applying sauce to a food product and a corresponding method are described. The combination comprises a first sauce applicator apparatus positioned above a second sauce applicator apparatus. The first sauce applicator apparatus comprises a first inner bucket having apertures formed therein, a first outer bucket sized to receive at least a portion of the first inner bucket having apertures, and a first lid sized to cover the first inner bucket and arranged to prevent escape of food product from within the first inner bucket. The second sauce applicator apparatus comprises a second inner bucket having apertures formed therein, a second outer bucket sized to receive at least a portion of the second inner bucket having apertures, and a second lid sized to cover the second inner bucket and arranged to prevent escape of food product from within the second inner bucket.

1 . A sauce applicator apparatus combination comprising: 
 a first sauce applicator apparatus comprising: 
 a first inner bucket having apertures formed therein;  
 a first outer bucket sized to receive at least a portion of the first inner bucket having apertures, and  
 a first lid sized to cover the first inner bucket and arranged to prevent escape of food product from within the first inner bucket, and;  
   a second sauce applicator apparatus comprising: 
 a second inner bucket having apertures formed therein;  
 a second outer bucket sized to receive at least a portion of the second inner bucket having apertures, and;  
 a second lid sized to cover the second inner bucket and arranged to prevent escape of food product from within the second inner bucket, and  
   wherein the first sauce applicator apparatus is positioned above the second sauce applicator apparatus.    
   
   
       2 . A sauce applicator apparatus combination as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first inner bucket apertures are formed in at least the bottom of the first inner bucket.  
   
   
       3 . A sauce applicator apparatus combination as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a third sauce applicator apparatus comprising: 
 a third inner bucket having apertures formed therein;  
 a third outer bucket sized to receive at least a portion of the third inner bucket having apertures, and;  
 a third lid sized to cover the third inner bucket and arranged to prevent escape of food product from within the third inner bucket, and  
   wherein the third sauce applicator apparatus is positioned above the first sauce applicator apparatus.    
   
   
       4 . A sauce applicator apparatus combination as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first sauce applicator apparatus is positioned on the second lid.  
   
   
       5 . A method of applying sauce to a food product using a sauce applicator apparatus combination comprising a first sauce applicator apparatus configured to receive at least partially therein a second sauce applicator apparatus, wherein the first sauce applicator apparatus comprises a first inner bucket having apertures formed therein and a first outer bucket sized to receive at least a portion of the first inner bucket having apertures, and wherein the second sauce applicator apparatus comprises a second inner bucket having apertures formed therein, a second outer bucket sized to receive at least a portion of the second inner bucket having apertures, and a first lid sized to cover the second inner bucket and arranged to prevent escape of food product from within the first inner bucket, the method comprising: 
 placing a food product within the second inner bucket;    placing a sauce within the second outer bucket;    removing the second sauce applicator apparatus from the first sauce applicator apparatus;    positioning the first lid over the second sauce applicator apparatus having the food product and sauce therein; and    shaking the second sauce applicator apparatus to apply the sauce to the food product.    
   
   
       6 . A method according to  claim 5 , further comprising: 
 placing a second food product within the first inner bucket;    placing a second sauce within the first outer bucket;    positioning the first lid over the first sauce applicator apparatus; and    shaking the first sauce applicator apparatus to apply the second sauce to the second food product.    
   
   
       7 . A method according to  claim 5 , further comprising: 
 positioning the second sauce applicator apparatus at least partially within the first sauce applicator apparatus.    
   
   
       8 . A method of applying sauce to a food product using a sauce applicator apparatus combination comprising a first sauce applicator apparatus configured to be received by a second outer bucket, wherein the first sauce applicator apparatus comprises a first inner bucket having apertures formed therein and a first outer bucket sized to receive at least a portion of the first inner bucket having apertures, and a first lid sized to cover at least the first inner bucket and arranged to prevent escape of food product from within the first inner bucket, the method comprising: 
 placing a food product within the first inner bucket;    placing a sauce within the first outer bucket;    removing the first sauce applicator apparatus from the second outer bucket;    positioning the first lid over the first sauce applicator apparatus having the food product and sauce therein; and    shaking the first sauce applicator apparatus to apply the sauce to the food product.    
   
   
       9 . A method according to  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 removing the food product from the first sauce applicator apparatus;    placing an other food product within the first inner bucket;    placing an other sauce within the second outer bucket;    positioning the first inner bucket within the second outer bucket;    positioning the first lid over the first inner bucket having the other food product and other sauce therein; and    shaking the combined first inner bucket and second outer bucket to apply the other sauce to the other food product.    
   
   
       10 . A method according to  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 positioning the first sauce applicator at least partially within the second outer bucket.    
   
   
       11 . A method according to  claim 9 , further comprising: 
 positioning the combined first inner bucket and second outer bucket at least partially within the first outer bucket.
