Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cooking container for use in heating food in a microwave oven. Specifically, the present invention concerns a cooking utensil capable of heating itself up by microwaves to heat food to such an extent as to be browned but not to be scorched and be stuck to the cooking surface. A fluororesin layer 1 is formed on the top surface of a metal plate 2, and a heat buildup layer 3 adapted to be dielectrically heated by microwaves is formed on the bottom thereof. A covering 4 permeable to microwaves is provided on the outside of the heat buildup layer. The covering is partially formed into legs to support the bottom surface of the plate. A lid capable of reflecting microwaves may be put on the metal plate to shield the food to be cooked against microwaves.
