Abstract
A container for a viscous food product having a configuration which enables relatively uniform heating of the contents at an acceptable rate without scorching in a conventional microwave oven. The preferred container is made from an electrically nonconductive material having a generally ovate bottom wall and a side wall extending upward therefrom to an upper end portion. The side wall may have a substantially ovate cross-section over substantially its entire height. The ovate cross-section may have a width-to-depth ratio of approximately 2:1 over substantially its entire height. The upper end portion may convexly decrease in width proceeding upward on the container.
