Abstract

PURPOSE:To cook all kinds of foods in an oven-or grill-cooking fashion using an existing microwave oven by using a microwave reflector or absorber to shield part or the whole surface of food. CONSTITUTION:Part or the whole surface of food 3 is shielded from incident microwaves by an electromagnetic wave reflecting material 2 such as a metal plate, metallic foil or a net structure. The way in which microwaves are absorbed into the food is adjusted by choice of the way of shielding. Absorption of microwaves emitted from a microwave oven into the food is thus restrained and a heating element 1 absorbs the microwaves in preference to the food and the heating element 1 itself is rapidly heated to high temperature and oven or grill cooking whereby a subject to be cooked is browned is made possible. An electromagnetic wave absorber may be used in place of the reflecting material.

<Conventional technology> Conventional microwave ovens cook by utilizing the property that the irradiated microwaves are absorbed by molecules such as water contained in the food to be cooked, and the food is directly heated. Generally, it has the advantage that it can be prepared in a short time. On the other hand,
Unlike direct flame cooking methods such as ovens, gas ranges, resistance heaters, and charcoal grills, it is not possible to scorch the surface of the food, which has the drawback of severely limiting the types of food that can be cooked.

Various methods have been proposed to eliminate the above drawbacks,
For example, a microwave oven with an oven mechanism that can heat the food with microwaves without burning the surface of the food by installing a heating element such as an electric heater with a cut circuit in the microwave oven, a so-called microwave oven or a commercially available microwave oven. has been done. However, the structure is complicated and cannot be made smaller.
There are problems such as significantly increased power consumption, longer cooking times, and higher prices.

However, these heating elements have many problems, such as poor heat generation properties and cannot achieve browning, cannot withstand thermal shock caused by rapid heat generation, and are expensive. However, when mixed with food, the microwaves are absorbed by the food, and the amount of energy absorbed by the heating element is reduced. The disadvantage is that it is limited to foods with low yields.

Effect> The present invention suppresses the absorption of microwaves into food emitted from a microwave oven, so that the heating element preferentially absorbs the microwaves and generates heat, causing the heating element itself to rapidly heat to a high temperature. There is a need for a device that enables oven or grill cooking, such as browning the food by the conductive heat and radiant heat of the heating element. A method to suppress absorption into food is to shield part or the entire surface of the food from incoming microwaves using an electromagnetic wave reflecting material such as a metal plate, box surface, or net-like structure. can. The way it is absorbed into food can be adjusted by the way it is shielded. If it is completely sealed with reflective material, the absorption rate will be zero, and almost all of the energy will be absorbed by the heating element, which will generate the same amount of heat as when the heating element alone.

吸収度をコントロールし、適切な調理を可能にする。
Therefore, by adjusting the shielding method, the degree of absorption into the heating element and food can be controlled, allowing appropriate cooking.

In this case, the heating element is also a type of electromagnetic wave absorber, but since the purpose is to suppress the incidence of electromagnetic waves into the food, it is preferable that the heating element has a low absorption rate rather than one with a high absorption rate. For example, SiC, barium titanate, etc. are preferred, and these are used in the form of foil, plate, net, or coating.

Reflective materials almost completely block incident microwaves, but
With the absorbent material, some of the heat is absorbed (= generates heat), some of it is reflected, and the rest is transmitted and absorbed by the food. Depending on the food being prepared, reflective materials are used to prevent most of the heat from being absorbed by the food. There are some foods that it is desirable to absorb into the food, and some foods that can be cooked more appropriately if they are absorbed to some extent into the food using an absorbent material.

By selecting reflective materials or absorbing materials, and adjusting the degree of shielding, you can achieve any kind of cooking.

On the other hand, another method of suppressing this is to freeze the food. Water and ice have different electrical properties, so water has a higher microwave absorption rate of about 3,600
It's twice as expensive.

Therefore, the moisture in the food is frozen by freezing, which lowers the microwave absorption rate of the food and causes the heating element to absorb more energy and generate heat to a high temperature. The heat generated by the heating element melts the ice, which increases the absorption rate of the food and allows it to be heated by microwaves, making it possible to cook food in a short time. Since the heating element is at a high temperature in the initial stage, it has enough energy to perform oven cooking such as browning food.

If metal is used as the shielding material, there is a risk of sparks occurring at the ends or contact areas such as the turntable or inner wall, so it is desirable to apply glass or an inorganic coating to prevent electric field concentration.

By the way, as in the structure shown in Figure 1, a pillow is placed on top of the heating element, and a shield box attached to a container made of polypropylene with AfJ foil as a shielding material is placed on top of it so that it does not come into contact with the heating element. I cooked it in the microwave. The heating element used was Q, a 5mm thick iron plate coated with Fe3O4 powder with an inorganic binder to a thickness of 300μm.
It was produced by baking at 0°C-3C-3O. the result,
Without the shield box, there was almost no browning, but with the shield box, the entire surface of the kraft had a light golden brown color, and had a good flavor with a crisp texture and a pleasant aroma.
