Abstract (en)

A disposable microwave packaging 10 includes a first chamber 12 for solid food product 14 and a second chamber 34 for a liquid accompaniment. A reservoir 26 of steam generating liquid is provided around the second chamber 34. The reservoir 26 and/or its liquid content is configured for rapidly generating steam to steam cook the solid food product 14, whilst also providing a barrier to the microwave penetration of the liquid accompaniment. The electrolytic property of the liquid and the dimensions of the barrier can be varied to control the ration of steam cooking to direct microwave cooking.
