Abstract
A disposable or reusable and reclosable thermoplastic bag capable of being compactly stored as a food container in freezers, yet capable of standing with an upright spout in a microwave oven for non-spill thawing and cooking of food contained in the bag. The bag is formed of two wing-shaped pouches on either side of the upright spout. The preferred closure is a zipper type which can automatically vent upon softening of its thermoplastic structure during the cooking stage. The bag preferably has inner and outer skin layers of different heat-softening temperature responses so that peripheral sealing is effected only with the inner layers, allowing the wing-shaped pouches to be formed out of a gussetted bottom without sealing of the outer layer plies facing one another.
