Multi-dimension heated packages and vessels

An inductively heated package comprising:

• an inductive receiver for receiving power from an electromagnetic field;
• an electronic circuit connected in series with the inductive receiver;
• and
• a heating element connected in series with the inductive receiver and in parallel with the electronic circuit, the heating element having an impedance that varies with the frequency of the electromagnetic field, the heating element having a first impedance at a first frequency to prevent significant loss of voltage at the first frequency, the heating element having a second impedance at a second frequency to allow the induced current to heat the heating element at the second frequency.

An inductively heated vessel comprising:

• an insulating housing having an interior configured to receive a product to be inductively heated;
• a heating element having a first plurality of conductive elements arranged on a first layer and a second plurality of conductive elements arranged on a second layer, the conductive elements arranged in a pattern predetermined to heat the product in accordance with a predetermined heating profile;
• a first heat distributor disposed adjacent the first layer;
• and
• a second heat distributor disposed adjacent the second layer.
