An ergonomically friendly container (,) having hot-fill capabilities is disclosed. The container (,) has a pre-ovalized dome (,) with grip surfaces (,) that undergo controlled deformation for accommodating a portion of the volumetric shrinkage due to hot-filling, capping, and cooling. Preferably, anti-racking ribs (,) extend laterally between the grip surfaces (,) to prevent unwanted racking or twisting of the dome (,) during vacuum absorption.
