<p>A flexible package (10) containing a charge of popcorn kernels (12) for cooking in a microwave oven. A problem exists in microwave heating of foods in packages of facilitating and maintaining optimum microwave cooking conditions for foods such as popcorn. The microwave popcorn package of the invention more effectively focuses the energy in the desired locations and consistently yields a greater popped volume as compared to other microwave popping techiques. Inside the package is a preferably discontinuous layer (26), averaging about three atoms thick, of a stainless steel alloy. The alloy is capable of absorbing microwave energy and converting it into thermal energy through magnetic coupling in addition to I2R losses.</p> |
