<p>A microwave food heating package (10) includes an inner construction including a susceptor (11) which heats in the presence of microwave energy, and a carton (400) positioned around and secured with the susceptor. The carton defines a rectangular shape with an open end. A paper overwrap (404) encloses the inner construction. An outer polymeric film overwrap may be bonded to the paper overwrap (406). The overwrap has at least two parallel seals (92), a tear apparatus (106) and a tear notch (307a). At least one vent opening may be provided in the overwrap (138). The overwrap is constructed so that cooking of the food items contained within the package can occur without removal or alteration of the overwrap. Upon cooking of the food items, the overwrap serves as a food dispensing apparatus after removal of the susceptor and the carton. A seasoning packet (124) can be attached to the carton for removal with the carton during use.</p> |
