2. A food heating package adapted to contain a food
product comprising a package body formed from microwave transparent non-lossy dielectric sheet material
having a cellulosic or plastic resinous base defining a container body and a lossy microwave adsorptive heat
ing body connected to the package and associated in heat conductive relationship with said food, said heating body being in sheet form and the thickness of said sheet being substantially within the range wherein the
sheet thickness and the temperature response during microwave heating are positively correlated, said sheet being of a paint-like layer applied to a metal support structure in sheet form and being bonded thereto on at least one surface thereof, the paint-like layer of adsorptive material being on the order of about 0.016” thick or more and said sheet and support structure being fiexible, said heating body being characterized by heating when exposed to microwave radiation within a microwave oven to a suf?cient temperature to-sear, brown or crisp the food and cooling in 30 seconds or less after the oven is turned off to the temperature of the food whereby the package can be used as a dish from which the food can be directly eaten without burning the fingers.
