Food package for use in a microwave oven

Claim 2

microwaves to be reflected. .Iaddend. .Iadd.17. The food package of claim 16 wherein the metallized ink of a certain second surface area of the container has an amount or concentration of metal particles which is different from the amount or concentration of metal particles of another second surface area thereby effecting shielding to different degrees when the food product is subjected to the microwaves generated within the oven. .Iaddend. .Iadd.18. The food package of claim 12 wherein the accommodated food product has a plurality of second predetermined portions requiring shielding from microwaves during the heating or cooking of the product, said container having a corresponding number of second surface areas having a metallized ink with a large amount or concentration of metal particles for causing the microwaves to be reflected. .Iaddend. .Iadd.19. The food package of claim 18 wherein the metallized ink of a certain second surface area of the container has an amount or concentration of metal particles which is different from the amount or concentration of metal particles of another second surface area thereby effecting shielding to different degrees when the food product is subjected to the microwaves generated within the oven. .Iaddend. .Iadd.20. A disposable container for accommodating a food product having at least a first predetermined portion requiring enhanced heat and at least a second predetermined portion requiring shielding from microwaves when the food product is heated or cooked within a microwave oven, said container being formed of a heat resistant material which is capable of retaining its shape when subjected to heating or cooking temperatures and is pervious to microwaves, said material having a first surface area on which is directly printed a metallized ink, the latter having a predetermined amount of metal particles suspended in an ink-like substance, said first surface area adapted to be in proximity to said first predetermined portion of the food product and provide the required enhanced heat therefor while retaining its shape when the food product is subjected to the microwaves generated within the oven, and said material having a second surface area on which is directly printed a metallized ink having a large amount or concentration of metal particles which will cause the microwaves to be reflected, said second surface area adapted to be in proximity to said second predetermined portion of the food product and provide the required shielding therefor when the food product is subjected to the microwaves generated within the oven. .Iaddend. .Iadd.21. The disposable container of claim 20 further having a third surface area adapted to be in proximity to a third predetermined portion of the food product requiring normal microwave heating during the heating or cooking of the product, said third area devoid of metallized ink. .Iaddend. .Iadd.22. The disposable container of claim 20 further having one or more other surface areas adapted to be in proximity to a corresponding one or more other predetermined portions of the food product requiring respectively one or more degrees of enhanced heat or shielding, said one or more other areas having metallized ink in such amounts or concentrations for effecting the required enhanced heat or shielding. .Iaddend.
