A packaged arrangement (1) contains a tray (4) which is convertible into a heating stand by inversion thereof. The walls of the tray are of a material that is transparent to microwave energy, but a support wall (10) which forms a bottom of the tray and top of the stand is provided with a liner of a microwave interactive layer that is formed of a material capable of converting microwave energy into heat. The tray (4) is configured so as to define a storage space for a predetermined quantity of food and to possess sufficient strength as to be able to support the predetermined quantity of food upon the support wall (10) in the inverted, heating stand condition thereof. A second packaged arrangement (1') comprises a recloseable package body (2') that may be used, at least in part, to form the enclosed air space and stand. In accordance with methods of use, food is removed from the package, at least one of the components of the packaged arrangement is formed into an air space enclosing heating stand, upon the floor of a microwave oven, and the food is placed upon this stand during microwave heating thereof.

Package assembly and method for storing and microwave heating of food

A disposable food receptacle for use in microwave cooking is disclosed which includes a provision to brown the exterior of the food in the receptacle. A thin layer of an electrically conductive material, such as an elemental metal is incorporated into the receptacle on the food contacting surfaces thereof, so that the conductive layer will become heated by the microwave radiation and will, in turn, brown the exterior of the food in the receptacle. The conductive layer is formed as an extremely thin film deposited on a substrate protective layer by a process of vacuum vapor deposition.

A golf practice putting cup is disclosed which is constucted of economical stock materials and is particularly arranged so that it can carry advertising indicia thereon so that the putting cup can serve as an advertising medium. The putting cup is formed from a base disc which has leaves which are folded up over an inner disc received within the leaves on the base disc, with the inner disc causing the leaves to angle upward so that a golf ball may roll into the interior of the cup but not out therefrom.

A laminated film for packaging use which film has at least one lamina of a crystalline flexible polyvinylidene chloride film adhered to a lamina of chlorinated polyethylene film, the chlorinated polyethylene film having a chlorine of concentration of up to approximately 60%, by weight, with the particular chlorine concentration of from 30% to 50%, by weight, being preferred. The laminated film being formed by contacting a polyvinylidene chloride film while in a supercooled noncrystalline state with a chlorinated ethylene film and thereafter effecting crystallization of the polyvinylidene chloride film with substantially random crystal distribution throughout, such as, by heating the thus formed laminate to the crystallization temperature of the polyvinylidene chloride.

A folding paperboard carton having an improved window construction in an elongated rectangular side panel. A preferred embodiment is a rhomboidal carton for sliced and shingled bacon. The side window construction comprises an elongated rectangular piece of non-wrinkling clear plastic which is adhered to the inner surface of the window aperture-containing side panel. The non-wrinkling plastic piece has one edge aligned with a score line between the side panel and top panel. The score line is discontinuous because of the presence of the window openings in the side panel having partitions therebetween hinged to the top panel at the score line. The combined stiffness provided by the apertured side panel and adhered plastic piece serves to cause the discontinuous score line to fold when the tubular carton is erected for filling from its manufactured flat condition.
