Device for cooking foods with microwaves

摘要

In order to boil eggs or other foods not suitable for cooking with direct microwave radiation, a receptacle containing such foods is separated from a microwave source by a radiation shield overlain by a heating vessel partly filled with water which is exposed to the microwaves. This vaporizes the water and the resulting steam is admitted through one or more tubes into the receptacle for a rapid heating of its contents. The shield may reflect the incident microwaves into the water bath.
