Multidirectional fuse susceptor

摘要

A microwave energy interactive structure includes microwave energy interactive material supported on a microwave energy transparent substrate, and a plurality of spaced apart microwave energy transparent segments circumscribed by the microwave energy interactive material. The plurality of spaced apart microwave energy transparent segments define a pattern of loops that may be dimensioned to induce resonance of microwave energy during microwave heating of a food item on the structure. The structure may also include a plurality of microwave energy transparent elements that are operative as fuses to prevent overheating of the structure.

1. A microwave energy interactive structure, comprising:
an electrically continuous layer of microwave energy interactive material supported on a microwave energy transparent substrate, the microwave energy interactive material being operative for converting microwave energy into heat; and a plurality of discrete microwave energy transparent segments spaced apart from one another within the layer of microwave energy interactive material, so that each segment is circumscribed by the microwave energy interactive material, the plurality of spaced apart microwave energy transparent segments defining a pattern of interconnected hexagonal loops, wherein a plurality of the interconnected hexagonal loops defines a resonant loop having a total peripheral length approximately equal to the wavelength of microwave energy in an operating microwave oven.
