A food package comprising:

• a sealed envelope formed from plastic sheet material transparent to radiation of a character which is adapted to heat condition foods and capable of withstanding temperatures produced by such heat conditioning, said envelope being formed to define at least two distinct sealed compartments;
• a multi-component food product comprised of different food components with a component disposed in each compartment wherein;
• at least two of said food components each require different degrees of heating in order to heat-condition said food product for serving;
• said food components being adapted for serving as a unitary food product;
• said envelope being of a generally elongate configuration and having said compartments formed therein in longitudinally spaced side-by-side relation, at least one of said compartments being of a thickness which is less than that of the other compartment in said package, said compartments being arranged in the package as to be disposed asymmetrically with respect to a transverse center line of said envelope which is orthogonal to the longitudinal center line of said envelope, and said compartments disposed in central registry with the longitudinal center line of said envelope and symmetrical about a cross-sectional plane extending through the longitudinal center line of the envelope.
