Abstract

One aspect of the invention provides a microwave susceptor (18) having an obverse face for receiving a food item, the susceptor comprising channels (28) formed in the obverse face (20) for channelling moisture, which during use emanates from the food item, away from the food item. By channelling moisture, such as steam and juices, away from the food item, the food item is less soggy when cooked and therefore more palatable. A second aspect of the invention provides a package for cooking a food item using microwaves, the package comprising a box (12) and a microwave susceptor. The box has a base (14) and a lid (16) arranged to overlap when closed together to form a seal around at least part of the interface therebetween so that the box is capable of maintaining a pressure within at above normal atmospheric pressure. The overlapping portions of the base member and the lid member are arranged to be forced apart by excess pressure within the box in order to regulate the pressure.
