Microwave steam heater with microwave and steam generators controlled to

A method of heating food with microwaves, where in order to avoid uneven heating between the food surface and its interior, which is a problem peculiar to microwave heating, the heat conduction of the food interior is positively used, supplying necessary minimum energies while monitoring the surface temperature of the food, and heating food to the optimum temperature on both the surface of the food and in the interior of the food.

High frequency heating apparatus for heating a material and a method of

A method and an apparatus for thawing a frozen food by high frequency heating. The thawing process is divided into at least four stages of execution. A high frequency wave output is predetermined for each stage, and the execution time of each stage is automatically computed by a function stored in a microcomputer with the weight of the food stuff as a parameter. The use of a plurality of stages provides a faster and satisfactory method of thawing the frozen food stuff.

Method and apparatus for thawing by high frequency heating

A cooking time adjusting arrangement for use in an electronic oven is disclosed. The arrangement includes a display device representing a plurality of data such as various menus, the number and/or quantity of each of the menus with or without cooking times, setting of a timer device to operate the electronic oven for a predetermined cooking time proper to a selected one of the menus being performed with reference to the reading of the display device. The cooking time adjusting arrangement is intended for facilitating the use of the electronic oven without substantially requiring any experience in handling the oven itself.
