1. A microwave energy interactive construct for heating a food item having a surface intended to be browned and/or crisped, comprising: a dimensionally stable base;a flanged receiving element, the flanged receiving element being shaped to receive the food item with the food item seated thereon, the flanged receiving element including a plurality of hingeable flange segments defined by a plurality of lines of disruption in the base; andmicrowave energy interactive material disposed on the hingeable flange segments,wherein the hingeable flange segments are operative for flexing downwardly to bring the microwave energy interactive material into close proximity with the surface of the food item seated thereon. 2. The construct of claim 1, wherein the flanged receiving element is substantially obround in shape. 3. The construct of claim 1, wherein the flanged receiving element is substantially elongate in shape. 4. The construct of claim 1, wherein the flanged receiving element is substantially circular in shape. 5. The construct of claim 1, wherein the flanged receiving element includes a substantially centrally located aperture, andthe lines of disruption extend outwardly from the aperture. 6. The construct of claim 1, wherein the flange segments are each defined by a pair of adjacent lines of disruption terminating at respective end points, anda fold line extends between the respective end points. 7. The construct of claim 1, wherein the flange segments are operative for hinging along a fold line disposed between adjacent lines of disruption in response to an urging force applied to the flange segments. 8. The construct of claim 1, wherein the microwave energy interactive material comprises a susceptor operative for browning and/or crisping of the surface of the food item. 9. The construct of claim 1, wherein in a first configuration prior to receiving the food item in the flanged receiving element, the flange segments are substantially coplanar with the base, andin a second configuration after receiving the food item in the flanged receiving element, the flange segments are obliquely oriented with respect to the base. 10. The construct of claim 1, in combination with another construct of claim 1, wherein the constructs are pivotably connected to one another for pivoting the constructs between an open position and a closed position. 11. The combination of claim 10, wherein in the closed position, the constructs are in an opposed relationship with the respective bases facing one another, such that the respective flanged receiving elements are in substantial alignment with one another. 12. The construct of claim 1, in combination with a carton, the carton including a top panel, a bottom panel, and a plurality of walls defining an interior space, wherein the construct is adapted to be received within the interior space of the carton with an upper side of the base of the construct facing the top panel of the carton. 13. The combination of claim 12, further comprising a susceptor joined to the top panel of the carton. 14. The combination of claim 12, further comprising a microwave energy interactive insulating material joined to the top panel of the carton. 15. The combination of claim 14, wherein the microwave energy interactive insulating material includes a susceptor film,a moisture-containing layer joined to the susceptor film, anda polymer film layer joined to the moisture-containing layer in a predetermined pattern, thereby forming a plurality of closed cells between the moisture-containing layer and the polymer film layer, wherein the closed cells are operative for inflating in response to microwave energy. 16. The construct of claim 1, in combination with the food item, wherein the elongate food item is seated within the flanged receiving element so that the microwave energy interactive material disposed on the hingeable flange segments is in close proximity with the surface of the food item. 17. A microwave energy interactive construct, comprising: a base;a support element for defining a void beneath the base; anda receptacle for receiving a food item with the food item seated thereon, the receptacle including a plurality of hingeable tabs defined by a plurality of lines of disruption in the base, the hingeable tabs including microwave energy interactive material for converting at least a portion of microwave energy into thermal energy, wherein the hingeable tabs are operative for flexing downwardly into the void beneath the base to bring the microwave energy interactive material into close proximity with a surface of the food item seated thereon. 18. The construct of claim 17, in combination with the food item, wherein the food item and the receptacle each have a substantially circular shape. 19. The construct of claim 17, in combination with the food item, wherein the food item and the receptacle each have an elongated shape. 20. A microwave energy interactive construct, comprising: a base;a support element for elevating the base; andan elongate receptacle for receiving an elongate food item with the elongate food item seated thereon, the receptacle including a plurality of hingeable portions defined by cuts in the base, andan opening substantially centered within the receptacle,wherein the hingeable portions include microwave energy interactive material for converting at least a portion of microwave energy into thermal energy, the hingeable portions being operative for flexing downwardly to bring the microwave energy interactive material into close proximity with a surface of the elongate food item seated thereon. 21. The construct of claim 1, wherein the flanged receiving element is curvilinear in shape. 22. The construct of claim 1, wherein the flanged receiving element is non-curvilinear in shape. 23. The construct of claim 1, wherein the flanged receiving element is substantially polygonal in shape. 24. The construct of claim 1, wherein the flanged receiving element is substantially octagonal in shape. 25. The construct of claim 5, wherein the substantially centrally located aperture is defined by the flange segments while the flange segments are substantially coplanar with the base.
