ABSTRACT:
A method and package for simultaneously microwave heating or baking a plurality of articles such as brownies, cupcakes, muffins or cookies or the like. The method includes the steps of arranging the plurality of articles in a predetermined, vacant-center array within an ovenable container, non-sealingly enclosing the array of articles in the container so that the articles share a common headspace, and applying microwave energy for a sufficient period of time to effect the heating or baking. The method may further include preparing a bakeable batter, subdividing the batter into a plurality of equal portions with one portion in each of a plurality of like receptacles so that, upon being baked, each of the portions becomes one of the articles. A package is also provided to facilitate practicing the method. A preferred package comprises a mix for preparing a bakeable batter, a plurality of receptacles into which the batter may be subdivided, and a container which is sized and configured to accommodate a vacant center array of articles or batter laden receptacles, and to provide a common headspace above the articles. The package may also include selectively patterned and/or positioned microwave susceptors or reflective materials to further ensure uniform heating or baking of the articles.
