Abstract
One or more magnetrons may be used directly underneath the foods to be cooked/heated. However, a thin layer of nonconductor, such as a glass is used to physically isolate the magnetrons from the foods while permitting the microwave energy to transmit through the nonconductor. A wave-guide may be used to transmit the microwave energy from one or more magnetrons to a surface adjacent to the food products such that the magnetrons are placed a distance away from the food products. A nonconductor is also used to isolate the wave-guide from the foods.
Claims1
An apparatus for microwaving of food products, comprising:
- a carousel including a u-shaped channel having a volume of hot oil;
- a belt mounted around the carousel;
- a plurality of arms attached to the belt and mounted over the carousel;
- a gear mechanism connected to the belt;
- a motor connected to the gear mechanism;
- a removable cap covering the u-shaped channel;
- wherein the u-shaped channel is comprised of a bottom and two sidewalls;
- wherein the bottom comprises a non-conducting surface;
- a wave channel defining a wave path unitary with and below the u-shaped channel;
- and
- a source of microwave energy mounted to the wave channel below the carrying means.
