The viscosity of copolymers of a) ethylene and C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 acrylate or methacrylates or b) ethylene, vinyl esters of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 carboxylic acids, and another comonomer selected from the group consisting of carbon monoxide, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or a glycidyl ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid is increased, while maintaining gel content at a level of less than 3%, by treatment with a free radical generating agent.

Process for modifying visosity of ethylene copolymers

A multilayer structure comprising a layer of film susceptible to melting when used in conjuction with a microwave susceptor, a layer of microwave susceptor material, and a layer formed from a crosslinked melt extrudable material does not melt when used in a microwave oven.

Non-melting microwave susceptor films

A multilayer structure comprising a layer of film susceptible to melting when used in conjunction with a microwave susceptor, a layer of microwave susceptor material, and a layer formed from a crosslinked melt extrudable material does not melt when used in a microwave oven.

A package for microwaving heating or cooking a food item such as an egg roll, which requires surface browning or crispening, comprises a vented tray, a drapable, liquid permeable, microwave susceptive composite material, draped over the food item, and a film lid covering the tray and conformed to the shape of the food item.

Microwave cooking package

The present invention provides a package suitable for microwave cooking and browning of food items, comprising a microwave susceptive mold containing at least one cavity for containing food items, and a microwave susceptive cover extending over and closing the cavities.

Shaped microwaveable food package

A package with a preferentially releasable seal is provided, suitable for use in microwaveable food cooking. The seal includes a heat-releasable polymer in contact with a microwave susceptor material. Upon heating in a microwave oven, the seal releases in response to force generated by the cooking of the food.

Conformable wrap susceptor with releasable seal for microwave cooking

New composite materials useful for wrapping food items to be cooked by microwave energy comprise drapable, liquid permeable, woven or non-woven, fibrous dielectric substrates, which substrates, or fibers of which substrates, are coated and/or imbibed with one or more susceptor materials. The composite materials, when wrapped around a food item to be cooked by microwave energy, enhance the browning and/or crispening of the items.
