Patent number: 5140121Abstract: Methods and food product structures are provided for controlling heating of multi-component foods in a microwave oven. The structures and methods include the use of a layer of edible substance with preselected properties and positioned adjacent to one or more food items to control the amount of transmitted microwave power to the adjacent food. One or more layers of edible substance has properties selected in relation to the other food substance such that effective shielding or control is achieved which will reliably control the heating of the components of the food product in the time required for heating one or more portions of the multi-component food product. With preselected values for thickness and dielectric properties of one or more layers and the thermal masses of the layers and the other components, the amount of energy transmitted to one or more of the food components and its final temperature can be effectively and reliably controlled.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1991Date of Patent: August 18, 1992Assignee: The Pillsbury CompanyInventors: Peter S. Pesheck, William A. Atwell, Madonna M. Krawiecki, George R. Anderson

Patent number: 5039534Abstract: An apparatus and method for separating peas based upon differences in density. The apparatus includes a flow trough having a flow manifold. A pump takes water from a reservoir and delivers the water to the flow manifold. A flow nipple having a lip portion extending into the flow manifold and turning vanes within the flow manifold distribute the water to create a substantially laminar flow. Fixed and pivotable water deflectors at an inlet portion of the flow trough establish a linear, laminar flow of water along the flow trough. A hopper and conveyor combination deliver a stream of peas to an adjustable plate member positioned in the laminar flow of water in the flow trough. The peas carried by the laminar flow of water descend off of the plate member into a separating chamber where peas having a high density range settle into a first collecting chamber and peas with a low density range settle into a second collecting chamber.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1990Date of Patent: August 13, 1991Assignee: The Pillsbury CompanyInventors: Timm L. Adams, Leon Levine, George R. Anderson

Patent number: 4283427Abstract: A microwave heating package, and a method of microwave heating. Both the package and the method employ a lossy chemical susceptor which upon continued exposure to microwave radiation becomes substantially microwave transparent, thus building into the system a unique maximum temperature shut off at the point at which the chemical susceptor becomes microwave transparent. The chemical susceptor is comprised of a combination of a solute, such as inorganic salts of Group IA and IIA, and a polar solvent for the solute, such as water. The chemical susceptor may be composed of a hydrated form of the inorganic salts. The package, method and chemical susceptor may be used for microwave heating of many products, including among others, food products.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 1978Date of Patent: August 11, 1981Assignee: The Pillsbury CompanyInventors: William C. Winters, Hsien-Hsin Chang, George R. Anderson, Ross A. Easter, Jeffrey J. Sholl

Patent number: 4266108Abstract: A microwave heating device is comprised of a microwave reflective member having positioned adjacent thereto magnetic microwave absorbing material. The absorbing material, by being magnetic, will heat by coupling of the magnetic component of microwave radiation. The thickness of the absorbing material is such that at the Curie temperature the material will reflect at least about 65% of the incident microwave radiation. The absorbing material has a volume resistivity value R, at room temperature, in ohm cm of greater than about the value where Log R=(Tc/100)+2 where Tc is the Curie temperature (.degree.C.) of the material. By the proper combination of thickness, high resistivity and Curie temperature, the device is temperature self-limiting in a microwave field and can be used to heat objects in contact with the device to predetermined temperatures in spite of wide fluctuations in microwave power or power uniformity.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1979Date of Patent: May 5, 1981Assignee: The Pillsbury CompanyInventors: George R. Anderson, Walter R. Ott, Edward J. Smoke, Ross A. Easter, Jeffrey J. Sholl
