  • Food support for use in a microwave oven
    Publication number: 20080149628
    Abstract: A food support for use in a microwave oven comprising a plurality of surfaces for supporting a plurality of food items at different heights with respect to the base of the oven. The plurality of surfaces comprises a first set of surfaces at a first height and a second set of surfaces at a second height. Each surface from the first set of surfaces is adjacent only to surfaces from the second set of surfaces, and each surface from the second set of surfaces is adjacent only to surfaces from the first set of surfaces. This reduces the effect of a food item shielding an adjacent food item, which otherwise leads to uneven heating of food items in the microwave oven.
