摘要:
A method of making an intermediate stabilized dough shape by heating a proofed dough shape with a combination of convection and microwave heating sufficient to stabilize the dough shape, to form a light skin thereon, to inhibit moisture loss from the interior thereof, and to decrease microbial activity therein. The pastry dough shape has an interior and an exterior, and the light skin is formed on the exterior to provide a moisture barrier and structural integrity sufficient to inhibit moisture loss from the interior and retain the shape during heating, handling, storage and cooking thereof to a finished product.
摘要:
A susceptor for use in the microwave cooking of food, includes a first plastic film, a second plastic film, and a semi-liquid lossy material disposed intermediate the first and second films. The lossy material includes glycerine, sucrose ester, and chloride salt, 25 grams of the lossy material in a 50 ml. glass beaker being heatable to at least 200.degree. C. within 40 seconds by 900 watts of microwave energy in a 1.1 cu. ft. oven. Preferably a layer of paper is sandwiched between the first and second films, the lossy material being absorbed on the paper layer. The susceptor is preferably biodegradable and edible. A method of microwave cooking includes the steps of providing an assembly of such a susceptor and the food to be microwave cooked, cooking the food in intimate contact with the susceptor in a microwave oven, and separating the microwave cooked food from the susceptor.
摘要:
A system for improving the uniformity of distribution of microwave power in a microwave cavity, includes a magnetron, a wave guide extending between the magnetron and the interior of the microwave cavity for coupling microwave power into the microwave cavity and drive means operative coupled to the wave guide to vary the direction in which microwave power is introduced into the cavity.
