Abstract
A food treating apparatus and method wherein a reducing DC electric current is provided by a DC electric circuit, the food treating apparatus including a vessel and a handle, and wherein at least part of the electric circuit is integral with the handle and is operative to provide electrons to food in the vessel. Further, the added electrons inhibit and/or reduce the formation of acrylamides in the food prepared in the food treating apparatus.
Claims20
A method of treating food comprising the steps of:
- placing the food relative to a food treating apparatus, and
- inhibiting acrylamide formation in the food by supplying free electrons for absorption by the food by applying an electric current and reducing potentials to the food treating apparatus.
A food treating apparatus, comprising:
- a vessel;
- an electron source electrically coupled to the vessel;
- and
- an electric circuit for providing electrons to a food,
- wherein at least part of the electric circuit is integral with the electron source and is operative to provide electrons to the food in the vessel to inhibit the formation of acrylamide in the food.
