An assembly for containing a food product that gives off liquid byproducts during heating, comprising:

• a flexible container comprising a first substantially enclosed portion and a second substantially enclosed portion, the second substantially enclosed portion being separated from the first substantially enclosed portion by a connecting portion of the flexible container configured to maintain the second substantially enclosed portion in fluid communication with the first substantially enclosed portion;
• and
• a package comprising:
• a base member;
• a support member coupled to the base member, wherein the support member defines a surface configured to support the first substantially enclosed portion of the flexible container and the food product received therein above the base member when the assembly is in a heating position;
• and
• a recess positioned below the support member when the assembly is in the heating position to receive the second substantially enclosed portion of the flexible container,
• wherein the second substantially enclosed portion of the flexible container is thereby configured to receive the liquid byproducts given off by the food product in the first substantially enclosed portion of the flexible container in the recess.
