Abstract
A microwaveable product can include a container with an interior and a fluted first sidewall. The product can include a susceptor. The susceptor can be disposed within the container interior. The susceptor can have a fluted second sidewall. The fluted second sidewall can conform to the fluted first sidewall. A food product can be disposed in the interior. The food product can conform to the fluted second sidewall. Microwave energy can reach the food product via the susceptor.
Claims15
A microwaveable product comprising:
- a container comprising a bottom and a fluted container sidewall, the fluted container sidewall extending from the container bottom to a first height;
- a susceptor comprising a fluted susceptor sidewall, the fluted susceptor sidewall extending along the fluted container sidewall from the container bottom to a second height, the second height being less than the first height;
- a food disposed within the container;
- a lower portion of an outer surface of the food being fluted and nested against the fluted susceptor sidewall, the lower portion of the outer surface of the food defining a closed geometry in a plane parallel to one or both of the container bottom and a bottom of the susceptor;
- wherein an upper portion of an outer surface of the food extends from below the second height to above the second height and is nested against the fluted container sidewall, the upper portion of the outer surface of the food being fluted and defining a closed geometry in a plane parallel to one or both of the container bottom and the bottom of the susceptor;
- wherein the fluted susceptor sidewall is nested against the fluted container sidewall such that the container flutes defined by the container sidewall seat the susceptor flutes defined by the susceptor sidewall.
