A heat generating container for use in a microwave oven or the like, which includes a metallic main container, a metallic lid to be detachably applied onto the metallic main container, and microwave absorbing heat generating film layers formed on outer surfaces of the metallic main container and metallic lid.

Heat generating container for microwave oven

A heat generating container for use in a microwave oven, which includes a metallic main container, a metallic lid to be detachably applied onto said metallic main container, and microwave absorbing heat generating film layers formed on an outer surface of the metallic main container and metallic lid. The microwave absorbing heat generating film layers are varied in thickness for uniform heat generation of the main container and the lid.

A high-frequency heating apparatus includes a heating vessel for accommodating an article to be heated, which is detachably loaded in a heating chamber, a stirring mechanism provided in the heating vessel, a guide mechanism for guiding the heating vessel so as to horizontally displace the heating vessel into a heating chamber from an opening formed on a side face of the heating chamber, a rotational drive mechanism for driving the stirring mechanism so as to rotate the stirring mechanism and a coupling mechanism for transmitting a driving force from the rotational drive mechanism to the stirring mechanism. The stirring mechanism includes a transmission gear mounted on a lower end of a stirring shaft extending through a bottom wall of the heating vessel, and the coupling mechanism includes a gear mounted on an upper end of a central shaft in the heating chamber and engageable with the transmission gear.

High-frequency heating apparatus for automatically processing and

A food weight measuring device including a turntable for carrying a foostuff, a supporting shaft for supporting the turntable, a detector for detecting the amount of change in a thrust direction of the turntable supporting shaft, responsive to the weight of the food, a converter for converting the amount of change amount in a thrust direction of the turntable supporting shaft to a change in the electrostatic capacity, and means for preventing liquid or dust from contaminating to the coverter.

Food weight measuring device for cooking apparatus

A food weight measuring device comprises a table for carrying a foodstuff, a pivotable electrode plate for receiving the food weight, the pivotable electrode plate being pivotably moved responsive to the food weight, a fixed electrode plate for providing an electrical signal corresponding to the food weight in cooperation with the pivotable electrode plate, and an output circuit responsive to the fixed electrode plate for outputting the electrical signal representative of the food weight.

Food weight measuring device for a cooking appliance

A motor drive for a heater in a microwave oven is disclosed which drives the rotation of the heater by the motor and controls the rotation of the motor with a control device to automatically position the heater suitably for cooking, thus preventing under or overcooking. A device is provided to permit the heater to rotate freely between a vertical position opposing a convection fan in the heating chamber and a horizontal position directly above a tray, a motor and transmission device are provided to drive the rotation of the heater, and a control device is provided to control the rotation of the motor.
