Abstract

A frozen food package having an easily removable and replaceable dome lid for permitting reconstitution of the frozen food either in a conventional or a microwave oven. The dome lid has an annular seating flange overlapping and disengageably locked onto the rim of a rigid bottom tray by locking ribs spaced around the flange and engaged under the tray rim. A thumb notch recess is so located in the dome lid seating flange as to permit direct engagement therethrough of the tray rim by a person's thumb along with simultaneous engagement by the fingers on the same hand with the dome lid flange at the region of an adjacent locking rib thereon. A positive separating force thereby can be applied to the tray and lid to quickly and easily unlock and separate them from one another without damage to either.
