  • Patent number: 5230914
    Abstract: The present invention includes a microwavable food product package that has a container with a metal foil tray. The tray has a base, upstanding side and end walls and an outwardly extending upper rim on the walls with the walls being inclined outwardly from the base. A lid made of a material that shields the metal foil tray from microwaves overlies the tray. The lid includes a top panel and side and end panels with a top panel being supported by the upper rim of the tray walls and the panels of the lid being bent downwardly and inwardly about score lines. The height of the panels correspond substantially to the height of the tray so that when the lid rests on the tray rim the lower edges of the panels shield the metal foil tray from microwaves when the package is in a microwave oven such that no arcing occurs.
