Title: Food container

Abstract: A food container comprising an inner heat proof tray which is closed by a lid and in which the food to be heated is contained is protected by an outer cardboard member surrounding the bottom and sides of the inner tray. Opening tabs extending from the upper edges of the cardboard member are releasably secured to the inner tray or lid so that pulling on the tabs first releases the tabs therefrom without damaging the lid or its sealing with the tray and further pulling tears the outer cardboard member so that the inner tray can be readily removed from the outer before being heated.
