The heating effect of a microwave susceptor can be improved by providing a pattern of microwave transparent areas in the susceptor. The transparent areas are preferably circles having a diameter of about 0. 5 inch. The distance between adjacent circles is preferably about 0.5 inch. The susceptor

The heating effect of a microwave susceptor can be improved by providing a pattern of microwave transparent areas in the susceptor. The transparent areas are preferably circles having a diameter of about 0. 5 inch. The distance between adjacent circles is preferably about 0.5 inch. The susceptor may be used to brown and crispen the crust of frozen pizza heated in a microwave oven. The crust of the pizza is browner, especially at its central area, than the crust of pizza heated using a conventional susceptor.

What is claimed is: 1. A microwave susceptor comprising: a dimensionally stable substrate; a plastic film supported by the dimensionally stable substrate; and an electrically continuous layer of metal deposited on the plastic film, the metal layer of a thickness that it absorbs microwave radiation

What is claimed is: 1. A microwave susceptor comprising: a dimensionally stable substrate; a plastic film supported by the dimensionally stable substrate; and an electrically continuous layer of metal deposited on the plastic film, the metal layer of a thickness that it absorbs microwave radiation and converts microwave radiation into heat, the metal layer defining a plurality of microwave inactive areas within the metal layer only, wherein each of the plurality of microwave inactive areas is spaced apart from the others; and each of the plurality of microwave inactive areas is formed by applying an inactivating chemical to an area of the metal layer.
