Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9109791A1] A microwave food package (30) for use in microwave heating a plurality of food pieces (33) disposed in at least two layers in the package which heating is to effect crispening of exterior portions of the food pieces (33) and to brown exterior surface areas of the food pieces (33). The package (30) comprises microwave susceptor means (32, 36) for applying heat generated in the microwave susceptor means (32, 36) to oppositely facing surface areas of each food piece (33) disposed in the package (30). An exemplary package comprises, for instance, an enclosure such as a disposable carton (31), a top microwave susceptor (36), a bottom microwave susceptor, and an intermediate-elevation microwave susceptor (32) between each two adjacent layers of food pieces (33) so that oppositely facing surfaces of each food piece (33) are disposed adjacent portions of the microwave susceptors (32, 36), preferably in snug contacting relation to enable direct conductive heating of the food pieces (33) by the adjacent microwave susceptors (32, 36).
