Disclosed are packaged frozen food articles which are adapted to be heated by microwave. The articles include an overwrapped paperboard carton housing one or more frozen, coated food items. The carton further includes an opposed pair of spaced parallel laminated heating panels. The panels each comprise an inner heating layer mounted on a mounting board, a spacer such as a spaced pair of paperboard sheets with an intermediate corrugated piece, and an outer microwave shield. The heating layer is in direct contact with the food items and can comprise a metallized film. The microwave shield can be a foil such as aluminum foil.
