Microwave interactive display package

A method comprising:

• having a package including a plurality of adjoined panels defining a cavity, the plurality of panels including
• a first main panel comprising a viewing window, and
• a second main panel in an opposed, facing relation to the first main panel, the second main panel including a microwave energy interactive material operative for converting microwave energy into heat;
• and
• inserting a food item into the cavity, the food item including at least one surface intended to be browned and/or crisped, the food item being inserted into the cavity such that the transparent viewing window displays at least a portion of the surface of the food item intended to be browned and/or crisped.

A method comprising:

• having a package containing a food item, the food item including at least one surface intended to be browned and/or crisped, the package including
• a first panel comprising a transparent viewing window through which the surface of the food item intended to be browned and/or crisped can be viewed, and
• a second panel opposite the first panel, the second panel comprising a microwave energy interactive material operative for converting microwave energy to thermal energy;
• removing the food item from the package;
• inverting the package;
• reinserting the food item in the package such that the microwave energy interactive material is adjacent to the surface of the food item intended to be browned and/or crisped;
• and
• exposing the food item to microwave energy, such that the microwave energy interactive material converts microwave energy to thermal energy and at least partially browns and/or crisps the surface of the food item intended to be browned and/or crisped.

A method comprising:

• opening a package containing a food item, the food item including at least one surface intended to be browned and/or crisped, the package including
• a first main panel comprising a viewing window through which the surface of the food item intended to be browned and/or crisped is visible, and
• a second main panel in an opposed, facing relation to the first main panel, the second main panel including a microwave energy interactive material operative for converting microwave energy into heat;
• and
• removing the food item from the package;
• inverting the package;
• reinserting the food item in the package such that the microwave energy interactive material is adjacent to the surface of the food item intended to be browned and/or crisped;
• and
• exposing the food item to microwave energy such that the microwave energy interactive material converts microwave energy to thermal energy and at least partially browns and/or crisps the surface of the food item intended to be browned and/or crisped.

A method comprising:

• forming a package including a plurality of adjoined panels defining a space for receiving a food item, the food item including at least one surface intended to be browned and/or crisped, the plurality of panels including
• a first panel comprising a transparent viewing window, and
• a second panel opposite the first panel, the second panel comprising a microwave energy interactive material operative for converting microwave energy to thermal energy,
• wherein
• the window is for displaying the surface of the food item intended to be browned and/or crisped when the package is in a first configuration, and
• the microwave energy interactive material is for browning and/or crisping the surface of the food item intended to be browned and/or crisped with the package in a second configuration inverted from the first configuration.

A method comprising:

• forming a package including a plurality of adjoined panels defining a cavity for receiving a food item, the food item including at least one surface intended to be browned and/or crisped, the plurality of panels including
• a first main panel comprising a viewing window positioned to display at least a portion of the surface of the food item intended to be browned and/or crisped, with the package in a first configuration, and
• a second main panel in an opposed, facing relation to the first main panel, the second main panel including a microwave energy interactive material positioned to be aligned with at least a portion of the surface of the food item intended to be browned and/or crisped, with the package in a second, inverted configuration,
• wherein the microwave energy interactive material of the second main panel comprises a susceptor that generates heat when exposed to microwave energy.
