Abstract
A microwave oven having microwave absorbing material disposed in a top portion of the microwave oven cooking cavity above a grease shield. By absorbing reflected microwave radiation, this feature reduces the tendency of overcooked edges, particularly in low profile foods such as pizza. An additional feature includes a cylindrical member disposed around the microwave antenna to provide a directive pattern of microwave energy in the cooking cavity. The microwave oven provides improved cooking uniformity for foods such as pizzas or pies.
