A construct includes at least one panel for supporting a food product, the at least one panel formed from a laminate structure having a base layer, a conductive layer, and a surface film. The construct further includes at least one spacing feature extending downwardly from the at least one panel for supporting the at least one panel a distance above an induction source for attenuating heat transferred to the food product in response to an oscillating magnetic field interacting with the conductive layer of the laminate structure.

A microwavable food and package apparatus includes an outer container having an upper panel providing an upper surface, a lower panel providing a lower surface, a plurality of side walls that each extend from the upper panel to the lower panel, and an interior. One of the side walls having a removable portion that enables access to said interior such as when removing the contents/bowl. An inner container of bowl provides a cavity that holds a food item. The outer container lower panel has a having a removable section that can be removed to provide an opening in the upper panel. An annular wall on the inner container is sized and shaped to fit the opening. The outer container or box thus functions as a trivet, wherein a portion of the outer container extends away from the inner container after the inner and outer containers have been subjected to microwave cooking so that said portion of said outer container (e.g. corner) provides a cooler surface that can be gripped by a user without fear of burns.
