<p>A container (30) has a patterned susceptor region (22) in the bottom, a sidewall region (26), a fold region (24) between the bottom region and the sidewall region, and a flange region (28) that forms a flange container (30). The patterned susceptor region (22) includes arrangements of microwave-interactive features disposed generally along respective close plane curves, which reduces overheating and increases the filling temperature of the food product. The fold region (24) contains microwave transparent features that minimize de-lamination of the container (30) in the fold region (24) and also create a generally transmissive area in the vicinity of the heel of the food product to improve the cooking thereof. The sidewall region (26) shields the periphery of the food product so that it is not overcooked while promoting an appropriate degree of pie dough shell browning. The flange region (28) is transmissive to promote an appropriate degree of cooking of the food product crust.</p> |
