ABSTRACT:
A package for transportation, storage and microwave cooking of an individual serving of popping corn includes a semi-rigid cardboard box having downwardly converging and generally trapezoidal sides, the inner surfaces of which are oil absorptive. One pair of opposed sides includes a pair of fold-down closing flaps which can be interlocked to releasably close the top of the box and each of which is provided with a pair of matching score lines to define a central flex section for the box top, so that the top flexes upwardly upon cooking. A small raw corn and oil container is positioned in the bottom of the box and is covered by a film sealed to a flange extending outwardly from the top edges of the container to the sides of the box. The film is sealed around the top edges of the container, and on one side is sealed to the flange remote from the container so that, upon cooking, the film will release from around the top edges of the container by the action of steam and popping corn, but will remain adhered to the remote flange area. The two opposed sides of the box not containing the closure flaps include upstanding cool handles for handling the hot box after cooking. Plural boxes are nested for compact storage in an elongated dispenser carton which may be placed on a dispenser stand. The stand has a collar for holding the carton upright and includes detent means for releasably holding the lowermost unused box.
