Abstract: A package for heated carry-out food such as pizza pie, includes a box structure made up of side walls, a bottom panel and a closure lid. The side walls and the bottom panel define an interior compartment which is suitable for holding the heated food. A steam permeable support member, such as a sheet of balsa wood, is positioned within the interior compartment for supporting the heated food. The wooden support member allows for the passage of steam away from the heated food. The support member is elevated above the bottom surface of the box so that any condensing water from within the wooden support member is encouraged to collect below the support member and away from the heated food. Means for elevating the support member is included.
