Abstract
Microwave safe accessories heat up without melting or burning the user and will use conduction to keep food and liquids hot/warm. Specifically, the disclosure relates to a thermoplastic elastomer that includes microwave activated materials (such as graphite or carbon black). The thermoplastic elastomer can include an overmold, which can be inert (e.g. Santoprene, TipSiv, or the like) or can also be combined with microwave activated materials.
Claims19
A cooking implement including at least a first thermoplastic elastomer layer, the thermoplastic elastomer being mixed with a microwave activated material comprising about 10-30% by weight of the first thermoplastic elastomer layer so as to absorb energy from a dielectric source so as to a deliver an effective amount of heat to a foodstuff or foodstuff container.
A cooking implement including at least a first thermoplastic elastomer layer and a second overmold plastic layer, the first thermoplastic elastomer being mixed with a microwave activated material comprising about 10-30% by weight of the first thermoplastic elastomer layer so as to absorb energy from a dielectric source so as to a deliver an effective amount of heat to a foodstuff or foodstuff container.
A cooking implement including at least a first thermoplastic elastomer layer and a second overmold plastic layer, the first thermoplastic elastomer being mixed with a microwave activated material comprising about 10-30% by weight of the first thermoplastic elastomer layer, and the second overmold plastic layer is mixed with a microwave activated material comprising about 10-30% by weight of the second overmold layer so as to absorb energy from a dielectric source so as to a deliver an effective amount of heat to a foodstuff or foodstuff container.
