    Patent number: 5350904
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 1992
    Date of Patent: September 27, 1994
    Assignee: The Pillsbury Company
