Abstract
Some embodiments provide a microwaveable vessel that can quickly and evenly heat or cook different types of food. In some embodiments, the vessel includes a metallic body adapted to hold food or drinks. The outer portion of the body is coated with a layer of heat-generating glaze. In some embodiments, the vessel also includes a heat-resistant outer cover that covers the heat-generation layer. The vessel of some embodiments has a multi-layered structure with inner and outer shells that are joined together to form a cavity between the shells.
Claims17
A double-layered microwaveable vessel comprising:
- a container having inner and outer shells that are joined to form a cavity between the inner and outer shells;
- an exothermic plate disposed between the inner and outer shells, and exposed along the bottom side of the outer shell to absorb microwaves and convert the microwaves to heat;
- a heat retention medium in the cavity between the inner and outer shells to absorb and retain heat for a period of time;
- a ceramic glaze with exothermic particle that covers at least a portion of the outer surface of the outer shell in order to absorb microwaves and convert the microwaves to heat;
- a thermal insulator with the exothermic particles that covers at least a portion of the outer surface of the outer shell in order to insulate the vessel and to convert the microwaves to heat;
- and
- a pressure release value to release any excess pressure built up in the cavity when the container is heated.
