A system is provided for heating a comestible. The system includes a container and a flexible vented package containing a liquid, semi-solid or liquid/solid combination comestible. The package is positioned within the container in a manner that hinders the comestible from escaping through the package's vent(s). The container is penetrable to microwaves and is adapted to not experience heat-induced damage when subjected to a heating cycle in a combination microwave and convection oven. The container is adapted to protect the package from heat-induced damage when the container is subjected to a heating cycle in a combination microwave and convection oven.

1. A system for heating a comestible, the system comprising a container and a flexible package containing a liquid, semi-solid or liquid/solid combination comestible,the package having one or more vents,the package being positioned within the container in a manner that hinders the comestible from escaping through the one or more vents,wherein the container is in a form of a clamshell,the container being penetrable to microwaves,wherein the container comprises an inner compartment having a package-supporting bottom surface that is oriented at an angle greater than 0° relative to a horizontal surface supporting the container,wherein the container is adapted to not experience heat-induced damage when subjected to a heating cycle in a combination microwave and convection oven,the container being adapted to protect the package from heat-induced damage when the container is subjected to a heating cycle in a combination microwave and convection oven. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the container is made from a polymer resistant to heat-induced damage at an ambient temperature of 540° F. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the container is made from silicone. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the container is adapted to not experience heat-induced damage when subjected to ambient temperatures of from 480° F. to 540° F. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more vents are adapted to open upon the comestible reaching a temperature of from about 155° F. to about 175° F. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the container is closed. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the comestible is maintained at an average thickness of one inch or less. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the package-supporting surface is oriented at an angle of from 5° to 45° relative to the horizontal surface supporting the container. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the package comprises a grasping portion that is isolated from the comestible, the grasping portion being adapted not to exceed 150° F. upon conclusion of a heating cycle in a combination microwave and convection oven. 10. The system for heating a comestible of claim 1, wherein the package-supporting bottom surface is an angled surface sloping upward from a first side toward a second side, the container further comprising an indented surface adjacent to the second side, the indented surface having a concave shape. 11. A method of heating a comestible, the method comprising placing a flexible package on a package-supporting surface of a clam shell container, the container comprising a lid portion, wherein the package-supporting surface is oriented at an angle of from 5° to 45° relative to a horizontal surface supporting the container, the flexible package having an top portion and a bottom portion when disposed on the package-supporting surface, the flexible package further comprising a vent disposed on the top portion of the flexible package;closing the lid portion of the clam shell container to close the flexible package within the claim shell container;subjecting the flexible package and clam shell container to a combination microwave and convection oven heating cycle to heat contents within the flexible package. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the comestible is a liquid, semi-solid or liquid/solid combination. 13. The method of claim 11, the package containing 8 fl. oz.-12 fl. oz. of comestible, wherein the comestible is heated from 35° F.-55° F. to 155° F.-175° F. in 90 seconds or less. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the comestible is heated from 35° F.-55° F. to 155° F.-175° F. in one minute or less. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the package comprises a grasping portion that is isolated from the comestible, the grasping portion being adapted not to exceed 150° F. upon conclusion of the heating cycle. 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the comestible is maintained at an average thickness of one inch or less. 17. The method of claim 11 wherein the comestible has a substantially uniform temperature upon completion of the heating cycle.
