Abstract:

A container constituted of a microwave transparent material for the heating or cooking of foods or comestibles through the intermediary of microwaves at a high degree of efficiency and with an enhanced temperature uniformity. The present invention is directed to the provision of a simple and inexpensive container structure which is constituted of a microwave transparent material, wherein the container base is configured in a manner to produce a generally upwardly curved bottom wall and inwardly curved and outwardly curved grooved lateral end walls and lateral side walls, respectively, with the lower end of the side wall including a curvilinear transition wall surface joining the end and side walls with the bottom wall, which will disperse the food or comestible within the container to an optimum extent so as to increase the heating and cooking efficiency thereof and to provide a more uniform temperature distribution throughout the container contents, thereby enabling the rapid and even heating and/or cooking of the food by microwave energy.
