Abstract: A frozen pizza and tray combination and related methods are disclosed. The combination includes a bakeable single-use disposable tray having a holding surface and a frozen pizza. The holding surface has a substantially flat cooking side and an opposite oven-engaging side. The frozen pizza includes a crust and toppings. The crust has a bottom surface positioned on and against the cooking side of the flat holding surface of the bakeable tray. The frozen pizza also includes a cut arrangement extending through a thickness of the crust and includes a cut line having uncut portions of the crust along the cut line. One method of the disclosure includes slicing the pizza with at least one cut line into individual pieces and leaving uncut portions along the cut line such that no individual piece is disconnected from a remaining portion. The sliced pizza can then be placed into a tray and frozen.

Abstract: A microwaveable cup arrangement includes a cup, a microwaveable shield layer along at least a first portion of the cup, a microwaveable susceptor layer along at least a second portion of the cup, and a removable lid defining a storage area and having an aperture arrangement in communication with the interior volume of the cup. The cup arrangement can be used to hold an edible food arrangement including a food arrangement in which a portion is to remain cold, a portion is be heated, and a portion is be melted and distributed on the rest. One example includes an ice cream sundae.

Abstract: A frozen pizza and tray combination includes a bakeable single-used disposable tray including a holding surface and a frozen pizza. The holding surface has a substantially flat cooking side and an opposite oven-engaging side. The frozen pizza includes a crust and toppings on the crust. The crust has a bottom surface positioned on and against the cooking side of the flat holding surface of the bakeable tray. The frozen pizza includes a cut arrangement extending through a thickness of the crust. The cut arrangement includes a cut line having uncut portions of the crust along the cut line.

Abstract: A packaging system is disclosed which includes a susceptor heating means having selective responsiveness to microwave radiation. The susceptor surface has a plurality of regions, where at least one region has an altered responsiveness to microwave radiation which is achieved by disruptions in the susceptor surface. A method for making regions of a susceptor selectively responsive to microwave heating by disrupting the continuity of the metallized film of the susceptor is also disclosed.

The susceptor surface has a plurality of regions, where at least one region has an altered responsiveness to microwave radiation which is achieved by disruptions in the susceptor surface. A method for making regions of a susceptor selectively responsive to microwave heating by disrupting the continuity of the metallized film of the susceptor is also disclosed.
