ABSTRACT:
A combination of a mass produced frozen entree type foodstuff, such as a pot pie, formed from a precooked, lossy material filler food having a preselected depth and covered with a layer of uncooked dough and an appliance for transporting and reconstituting this pot pie in a microwave oven wherein the appliance comprises a dish-shaped receptacle formed of a microwave impervious foil material with a cavity for the foodstuff and a peripheral rim whereby the filler material within the cavity is shielded from direct microwave exposure except through the dough layer and a flat, self-sustaining generally rigid microwave susceptor sheet with an outer shape generally matching the preslected shape of the rim on the receptacle wherein the susceptor sheet is supported on the dough in parallel, heat conducting relationship with the upper surface of the dough and is spaced from the rim by the dough. The susceptor sheet includes a thin metallized layer of plastic film laminated to a paperboard. A method of employing this appliance in combination with the pot pie includes passing microwave energy for a preselected time through the dough layer and then into the filler material while the microwave impervious foil material shields the filler material from other microwave energy during which preselected time the filler food is heated and the dough layer is baked and, then, covering the shielded food material with the thin microwave heatable susceptor sheet and passing microwave energy through the susceptor sheet for a time necessary to brown the upper surface of the dough while allowing microwave energy to pass through the dough layer into the shielded filler material.
