The ovenware container includes rigid top (26) and bottom (22) portions separated by a flexible middle portion (24). The flexible middle portion (24) includes thick (30) and thin (28) wall sections. Pressure applied to the top portion (26) causes the flexible middle portion (24) to collapse in an orderly manner toward the bottom portion (22), with the middle portion (24) folding at each of the thin wall sections (28) to create a plurality of folds or pleats in the middle portion (24) in the collapsed configuration.</p> |
