Abstract

A microwaveable package containing foodstuff is for direct placement with or without opening same, in a microwave oven so that the foodstuff can be microwave cooked. The foodstuff rests on a sheet of microwave receptor material and the package is designed so that there is an air space between the receptor material and the oven support table to prevent the table from acting as a heat sink to drain away heat generated by the receptor material during cooking.
