Abstract

A carton is provided having front and rear panels, side panels and top and bottom panels. A dividing panel is provided internally of the cavity such that at least two compartments are defined therein for the location of two different food products. One or more surfaces of said panels of one or more of said compartments include a microwave activateable layer or coating which becomes hot in the presence of microwave radiation. The arrangement of the microwave activateable layer is different in the two compartments to allow different cooking characteristics of the different food products to be catered for.
