Abstract: A microwave safe container may include a metal receptacle enclosed in an outer covering of a substantially microwave-transparent material. The metal receptacle and the outer covering each include a closed end and an open end. The open end of the metal receptacle is joined to the open end of the outer covering to form a substantially rounded top lip while maintaining a space between the metal receptacle and the outer covering. The arrangement of the microwave safe container allows microwave rays to penetrate the metal receptacle without getting completely reflected resulting in substantially even heating of food inside the microwave safe container.
