A method for safe and uniform microwave cooking of food articles in a container, comprising providing a microwave permeable container, wherein a portion of said container is covered with a microwave reflective surface to deflect microwaves away from a predefined body of liquid within said container; loading bacon within said container; and exposing said container to microwaves for a predetermined time period.
Claims1
A method for safe and uniform microwave cooking of food articles in a container, comprising:
- loading food articles within a microwave permeable container, wherein the outside of at least the bottom portion of said container is covered with a microwave reflective surface;
- exposing said food articles to microwaves for a time period long enough to cook said food articles;
- accumulating, at the bottom portion of said container, a mixture of liquid and solids resulting from exposure of said food articles to microwaves, the mixture of liquid and solids being separate from said food articles;
- and
- controlling the temperature of the mixture of liquid and solids accumulated in said container during the exposure of said food articles to microwaves in order to prevent the destruction of the container from overheating of the mixture of liquids and solids prior to the completion of the cooking of said food articles by allowing the microwaves to (i) permeate through the mixture of liquids and solids, and (ii) reflect off of the microwave reflective surface on the outside of at least the bottom portion of said container.
