Definitions

  • This invention relates to cookware, and more particularly to cookware useful in microwave ovens. Still more particularly, the invention relates to cookware for use in microwave processing of foodstuffs, particularly pizzas and the like, and to filled compositions therefor containing high temperature resin and a radiation absorbent filler, preferably carbon fiber. Filled compositions according to the invention absorb microwave energy and are thereby heated. Such compositions may be particularly useful in the fabrication of oven cookware adapted for cooking food in a microwave oven, for example cooking trays, sheets, pans, dishes, casseroles, and the like.
  • the surface of food cooked by conventional heating methods will be maintained at the highest temperature and thus heated for the greatest length of time.
  • food surfaces will take on an appearance and texture characteristic of the cooking method. For example, meats that are grilled will have seared surfaces, baked breads will have crusts, and fried foods may be crisp. While the particulars will vary from culture to culture, the acceptability of foods turns on having a proper surface appearance, based on preferences that develop or are acquired over many generations.
  • microwave heating has become used for cooking and reheating foods and is widely accepted for its rapid heating of foods and ease of use.
  • food is exposed to high frequency electromagnetic radiation.
  • Water molecules contained within the food due to their dipolar nature, try to follow the very high frequency oscillations of the electric field associated with the electromagnetic radiation, and thus are heated. When there is little or no water present in the foodstuff, or the water becomes substantially lost by evaporation, no further heating can occur.
  • toppings are selected to provide a variety of products for the consuming public.
  • the crust is baked, and the topping is added in an uncooked, usually frozen condition, intended to extend their shelf life.
  • such layered food products or articles should be thawed and then baked by some heating appliance that will restore the desired reconstituted texture and condition. Due to the characteristics of the crust, high quality reconstitution is accomplished only by heating in a convection oven. The standard convection oven produces a crunchy, high quality crust that is crisp with a topping cooked to duplicate fresh, hand made pizza.
  • packaging design may include ribs or protrusions to support the food within and allow air circulation to remove vapors from the surface.
  • Materials employed for such packaging frequently are thermoplastic sheet materials containing radiation absorbent filler, for example, carbon black, graphitic particles, comminuted carbon fiber particles or the like. The filler absorbs microwave energy, undergoing dielectric heating and thereby raising the temperature of the container or packaging.
  • radiation absorbent filler for example, carbon black, graphitic particles, comminuted carbon fiber particles or the like.
  • the filler absorbs microwave energy, undergoing dielectric heating and thereby raising the temperature of the container or packaging.
  • Such packaging continues to transmit heat to the food after the microwave irradiation cycle has been completed, reducing the occurrence of cold spots in the food and enhancing drying and crisping.
  • Packaging designs particularly suited for use in reheating pizza may include a microwave susceptor sheet on or spaced from the lower wall of the microwave oven to serve as a plate or platform.
  • Susceptors generally comprise a layered sheet stock with layers having a metallized surface or formed of other conductive material to absorb microwave energy. Placed in the energy field of a microwave oven, susceptors undergo inductive heating, reaching temperatures above 100 °C, and thus may be designed to remove moisture and enhance drying and crisping during heating.
  • the materials disclosed in the art for the construction of such improved packaging have generally included cellulosic sheet stock and filled thermoplastics including polyethylene, polypropylene and polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate and the like.
  • the improved packaging may have some capability for producing higher temperatures needed for browning and similar processing of foods, generally, the packaging has been intended for use in reheating pre-cooked foods requiring crisping and for cooking foods that can be successfully processed at moderate temperatures, i.e. temperatures that do not much exceed about 100°C.
  • Filled ceramic composite materials capable of attaining high temperatures when irradiated with microwave energy are also known
  • self-heating structures comprising silicon carbide filled with a microwave susceptible filler such as carbon fiber, alumina fiber or the like have been disclosed for use in microwave cooking
  • these self-heating structures may attain temperatures as great as 500°C Surfaces of food in contact with such a vessel will thus be rapidly heated, much as in a conventional oven, while the internal temperature becomes rapidly increased through microwave heating, cooking the food The resulting food product may thus be appropriately cooked throughout and simultaneously provided the desired browned or seared surface
  • Similar structures have been used in processing pizza
  • use the self-heating vitroceramic disc or plate is irradiated with microwaves and preheated to a temperature near 300 °C Raw pizza base or crust is placed on the plate and allowed to precook, thereby pasteurizing the crust and providing a crisped or browned lower surface
