Abstract

A microwavable package is formed with venting mechanisms that are arranged in one of a number of different ways, and are covered with a pressure sensitive adhesive label. While the vents are covered with the pressure sensitive adhesive label, the package is hermetically sealed. The label protects the venting mechanisms from breakage due to product mishandling and abuses during storage and transportation. Prior to be cooked the consumer will remove or peel back the pressure sensitive adhesive label exposing or opening the venting mechanisms. Such vents can be of multiple different shapes, including a perforated shape whose center portion is removed or center portions sticks to the pressure sensitive adhesive label when the label is pulled back and removed from the package. The package is then placed in the oven or microwave and the product inside can be cooked safely. This method guarantees a reliable, safe designed, steam release and cook-in-the-bag mechanism that will always deliver a controllable process from the freezer to the table.
