Abstract
A novel package assembly and method are disclosed whereby a food product (20) having a moisture content of less than 5 weight percent is disposed in a sealed package (10) in which a sealed packet (22) of an aqueous solution (24) is also disposed, so that upon exposure to microwave radiation, the solution (21) in the sealed packet (22) vaporizes, ruptures the packet and is dispersed as steam throughout the sealed package (10), whereby the temperature of the low moisture food product (20) is increased.
