What is claimed is: 1. A metallic ring adapted for interconnection to a metallic sidewall of a microwave compatible container on a first end, and a microwave transparent material on a second end, comprising: a substantially concentric shaped ring having a first end adapted for double seaming to a lower end of a metal sidewall of a microwave compatible container; an outer panel wall extending downwardly from said first end; an inner panel wall having an upper end and a lower end, said lower end interconnected to said outer panel wall to define a substantially u-shaped countersink; and a ring second end interconnected to said inner panel wall and extending inwardly, said ring second end having an upper surface and a lower surface, said upper surface adapted for interconnection to the microwave transparent material and positioned below said upper end of said inner panel wall. 2. The metallic ring of claim 1, further comprising a microwave transparent material interconnected to said upper surface of said ring second end. 3. The metallic ring of claim 2, wherein said microwave transparent material is comprised of at least one of a polypropylene, a polyethylene and EVOH material and combinations therein. 4. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein said microwave transparent material is interconnected to said upper surface of said ring second end by at least one of an adhesive, a welding process and a double seam. 5. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein the interconnection of said ring second end and said inner panel wall defines an upwardly extending lip. 6. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein said substantially concentric shaped ring is comprised of an aluminum, a steel, a tin and combinations therein. 7. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein said ring second end is elevated above a lowermost portion of said substantially u-shaped countersink a distance of at least about 0.10 inches. 8. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein said substantially concentric ring is comprised of a continuous one piece material. 9. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein said substantially concentric shaped ring has an outer diameter which is less than an outer diameter of an upper end of the microwave compatible container. 10. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein said outer panel wall of said metallic ring has a height no greater than about 0.33 inches. 11. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein said outer panel wall extends downwardly at an angle no greater than about 10 degrees from a substantially vertical plane. 12. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein a substantially hermetic seal is created between said metal ring, the microwave transparent material and the metal sidewall. 13. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein the substantially concentric shaped ring has a hoop strength of at least about 100 lbs. 14. The metallic ring of claims 1, wherein said substantially concentric shaped ring has a coating comprised of at least one of a polypropylene, a polyethylene, or uncoated metal material. 15. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein said ring second end extends inwardly in a substantially horizontal plane. 16. The metallic ring of claim 1, wherein said ring second end has a length no greater than about 0.50 inches.
