Abstract: A multi-component package is provided which enables simultaneous heat cooking of a food product which does not require a long cooking time and a food product which requires a longer cooking time. The multi-component package includes a lower container including a bottomed, lower container main body for containing a first food product. The container further includes an upper container including an upper container main body for containing a second filled food product. A flange of the lower container main body and a flange of the upper container main body are engaged with each other so that the lower container and the upper container are combined integrally. A vapor vent is provided in a lower container lid material, whereby water vapor generated upon heating of the first food product heats the second food product in the upper container.

Abstract: A product and package system for producing surface color changes through the retention of steam is provided. The package includes a food base that is rehydrated in the package system in a microwave during a first heating step. A topping component including a browning material is added and then heated during a second heating step to produce browning characteristics to the surface of the food.
