Abstract
A microwave heating construct includes a base with a plurality of movable portions, where the movable portions are operative for pivoting into a substantially upright condition, and the base and plurality of movable portions includes microwave energy interactive material that is operative for converting microwave energy into heat, so that pivoting the movable portions moves the microwave energy interactive material of the movable portions into an upright condition.
Claims17
A microwave heating construct comprising:
- a base;
- and
- upstanding walls extending along a periphery of the base, wherein the base and walls define an interior space for receiving a food item,
- wherein
- the base includes a plurality of movable portions, wherein the plurality of movable portions are each defined at least partially by a pair of substantially parallel, oblique lines of disruption extending substantially between pairs of adjacent walls, wherein the movable portions are operative for pivoting into a substantially upright condition along a first line of disruption of the pair of substantially parallel, oblique lines of disruption, and
- the base and plurality of movable portions comprise microwave energy interactive material that is operative for converting microwave energy into heat, so that pivoting the movable portions moves the microwave energy interactive material of the movable portions into an upright condition.
