Abstract
In a cooking oven supplied from a power source of limited capability, a time ratio control system alternately energizes a microwave energy generating system and an electrical resistance heating element a plurality of times during each cooking operation to, in effect, time share the available power. The resultant concurrent microwave and electrical resistance provides improved cooking results when the power source capability is limited.
