Abstract
A microwave susceptor material which comprises a substrate such as paper or paperboard treated with a polar organic compound having microwave interactive characteristics. A salt, which is soluble in the polar organic compound, can be added to alter the microwave heating performance of the material. The invention provides susceptor materials useful for cooking food items in a microwave oven with enhancement of the quality of the cooked food, such as the browning and crisping of the food surface. The susceptor materials are formed by treatment of the substrates with the polar organic compounds under conditions that cause the polar organic compounds to penetrate the substrate.
