Abstract: A susceptor tray has a susceptor surface of a platform positioned above a downwardly extending portion that has sidewall functions and that traps heated vapor within an open surface defined by the susceptor tray. A kit of the susceptor tray and a dough-containing food product has a storage mode which permits the food product to be stored within the open volume and out of contact with the susceptor surface. The extending portion preferably includes apertures to permit controlled dissipation of heated vapor from out of the open volume during cooking within a microwave oven.
