  • Patent number: 8367989
    Abstract: The invention relates to a removable lid for defining a food cooking or heating enclosure (5) in a microwave oven, comprising an outer wall (2) pervious to microwaves and sealed for air and steam, an inner wall (3) pervious for microwaves and adapted for the passage of air and steam, and an intermediate ply (4) made of a porous water-retaining material and provided between the inner and outer walls, characterised in that the outer wall (2) includes at its inner face oriented towards the inner wall (3) at least one convex conformation (10) for defining a cold condensation area, the inner wall (3) being open opposite each convex conformation in order to expose at least the portion of the intermediate ply (4) surrounding the convex conformation (10).

  • Patent number: 5895602
    Abstract: An apparatus intended to be used for cooking or heating various products in combination with an oven including a cavity (5) accessible through a door (7) and an energy generator (2). The apparatus includes an element (8) made of a fluid-retaining and energy-permeable porous material of which at least one of its portions is Interposed between the generator (2) and the cavity (5), and a fluid-impervious and energy-transparent spacer element (13) interposed between the porous element (8) and the generator (2) to protect the generator (2) from steam in the cavity 5. According to the invention, the apparatus includes a mechanism (9) which causes a relative displacement between the porous element (8) and the generator (2) to change the portion of the porous element placed opposite the generator (2).

  • Patent number: 5026957
    Abstract: The baking-heating according to the invention is characterized in that it consists in defining in the application cavity, a baking-heating enclosure, open to the front of the oven at least coincidingly with the glass of the door and designed to contain the products, by means of an element insertable in the cavity, comprising at least one wall interposed between the enclosure and the generator and made from a porous material which is permeable to microwave energy, and provided with a water-proof coating except on its face directed toward the enclosure. The invention finds an application in the baking or heating of food products.
