DEVICE FOR ACHIEVING A TEMPERTURE CONTROLLED HEATING OF MAINLY SOLID FOOD IN A MICROWAVE OVEN

摘要

The invention relates to a device for achieving a temperature controlled heating of mainly solid food (9) in a microwave oven (10) by means of a heat sensitive, readable colour making (15) related to the temperature of the food (9) and located in the oven in a place readable to a reader (11) connected to the heating system (14) of the oven. The temperature on the surface of the food does not correspond with the temperature of the food during the heating procedure. Hence, the colour marking is arranged readable on the surface of a block (5) of polymeric material which is thermally insulated from the food, and which is arranged to be exposed to the same microwave radiation as the food in the oven. The polymeric material has a dielectric constant selected such that the block obtains a heating corresponding to the heating of the food.
