Abstract
An improved container for use in microwave cooking includes an insert which maintains a microwave interactive material in contact with a food product during cooking. The isnert includes flaps or wing sections which bias a central panel towards the food, with the microwave interactive material associated with the central panel. To ease in handling prior to and during packaging, an adhesive restrains the bias flaps until the adhesive is at least partially melted during cooking. The insert may be arranged to prevent excessive bowing or curling of the central panel, and to improve venting or draining of fluids from the food product.
