1. A microwave insulating material comprising:
- a layer of microwave energy interactive material joined to a first side of a dimensionally stable, moisture-containing support; and
a polymer film layer partially joined to a second side of the support, the first side and the second side of the support being opposite one another, thereby defining a plurality of expandable cells between the support and the polymer film layer, wherein the expandable cells vary in size from one another.

Abstract
A microwave insulating material includes a dimensionally stable support, a patterned adhesive layer overlying at least a portion of the support, a polymer film layer overlying the patterned adhesive layer, and a plurality of expandable cells disposed between the support and the polymer film layer and defined by the patterned adhesive layer, wherein the expandable cells vary in size. A self-sealing microwave package includes a sheet of insulating material including a first surface, and a thermally activatable adhesive applied to at least a portion of the first surface.
