PCT No. PCT/US91/01042 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 15, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 15, 1991 PCT Filed Feb. 18, 1991.A two-stage process for baking/crusting food products is proposed. The First Stage is carried out in a microwave oven chamber; the Second Stage is carried out beneath a gas or electric broiler. In both stages, the food is placed on a browning/crusting device which provides a metal cooking surface, heated by adherent microwave lossy materials or on a smooth surface of one or more blocks of microwave lossy ceramic or microwave lossy igneous rock which is supported in a metal tray. In the First Stage, a First Stage kit includes a microwave transparent cover, a microwave transparent thermal insulating support and the browning/crusting device. In the Second Stage, only the browning/crusting device is used to complete the overall process. The browning/crusting device is pre-heated in a microwave oven to achieve an elevated browning/crusting temperature before applying food to the browning/crusting device. |
