Abstract
A cooking apparatus includes a cooking vessel, a support structure, an assortment of ferrous members and a source of electro-magnetic radiation. The ferrous members are mounted on the support structure along with food. The source of electro-magnetic radiation heats the ferrous members and enables a previously unobtainable level of precision and control in the preparation of food.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- mounting one or more ferrous members to a support structure in a non-ferrous vessel, wherein the support structure comprises a base, a central column projecting from the base, and a plurality of extension members configured to receive the one or more ferrous members;
- placing an object proximate to the one or more ferrous members;
- and
- activating an electromagnetic radiation source for heating the one or more ferrous members such that the one or more ferrous members deliver heat to the object.
