Abstract
A susceptor includes an absorbent substrate layer; a first susceptor layer including microwave susceptor material over the substrate layer; and a first protective overcoating layer over the first susceptor layer, where the absorbent substrate layer comprises non-woven fibers.
Claims24
A susceptor comprising:
- an absorbent substrate layer;
- a first susceptor layer comprising microwave susceptor material over said absorbent substrate layer;
- a supporting substrate between said absorbent substrate and said first susceptor layer;
- a first protective overcoating layer over said first susceptor layer;
- and
- perforations or cut-outs formed through said first protective overcoating layer, said first susceptor layer, and said supporting substrate, to permit wicking and draining of liquid through said first protective overcoating layer, said first susceptor layer, and said supporting substrate to said absorbent substrate layer,
- wherein said absorbent substrate layer comprises non-woven fibers, and
- wherein said perforations or cut-outs are located in said susceptor at least in an area beneath an applied food load and between said absorbent substrate layer and said applied food load and wherein said perforations or cut-outs do not extend through the entire susceptor.

A susceptor comprising:
- a first absorbent layer;
- a second absorbent layer;
- a first susceptor layer comprising microwave susceptor material between said first absorbent layer and said second absorbent layer;
- a supporting substrate between said first susceptor layer and at least one of said first absorbent layer and said second absorbent layer;
- a first protective overcoating layer over said first absorbent layer;
- and
- perforations or cut-outs formed through said first protective overcoating layer, said first absorbent layer, said first susceptor layer, and said supporting substrate, to permit wicking and draining of liquid through said first protective overcoating layer, said first absorbent layer, said first susceptor layer, and said supporting substrate to said second absorbent layer,
- wherein at least one of said first absorbent layer and said second absorbent layer comprises non-woven fibers, and
- wherein said perforations or cut-outs are located in said susceptor at least in an area beneath an applied food load and between said first absorbent layer and said applied food load and wherein said perforations or cut-outs do not extend through the entire susceptor.
