HIGH-SPEED COOKING OVEN WITH OPTIMIZED COOKING EFFICIENCY

摘要

The present invention is directed to improving the conventional high-speed cooking oven based on a combination of hot air impingement and microwave heating by providing a timedependent spatial variation in the net air impingement and/or net microwave energy applied to the food product in the oven This is aimed at optimizing heat transfer and microwave efficiencies in a high-speed cooking oven, thereby enabling the oven to deliver an optimal cooking efficiency in comparison to the conventional high-speed cooking oven In addition, under the embodiments of the present invention, the cooking efficiency may be further optimized by providing a plenum between each wall of the cooking chamber and the housing of the oven
