Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a food package and a method of controlling heating of a foodstuff using microwave energy by permitting entry of both decaying microwave energy and propagating microwave energy into the interior of the package in a manner that achieves even heating of the foodstuff, effective control over moisture content, effective control over the resulting crispness and texture of the foodstuff, and effective control over the colouration and browning of the foodstuff.
