Abstract: Apparatus and method for pasteurizing food products and ready meals in hermetically sealed packages (22) by means of microwaves, comprising a microwave chamber (14); a lower conveyor belt (20) for the packages (22); an upper conveyor belt (18), extending substantially horizontally and vertically movable, and a microwave source (16) located below the lower conveyor belt (20), the microwave chamber (14) being under atmospheric ambient pressure. The apparatus comprises a cooling plate (10) in close contact with the upper conveyor belt (18) so that during microwave heating the top of the package (22) is cooled to below the condensation point of water vapor and overpressure in the package is avoided.

Abstract: A heating device and control method therefor. The device includes a cylinder for placing an object to be processed and an electromagnetic wave generating system for generating electromagnetic wave signals to heat the object. At each preset time interval, the electromagnetic wave generating system is controlled to adjust the frequency of the generated electromagnetic wave signal within a preset selectable frequency range, and ensure the system meets a preset matching condition. The frequency of the signal that meets the preset matching condition each time is recorded, and the change amount in frequency of the signal that meets the preset matching condition from before the preset number of matches to the current match is calculated. Operation of the system is terminated when any one of preset termination conditions is met. The preset termination conditions include the change amount being less or equal to a preset change threshold, enabling the cessation of heating of food at a state desired by the user, particularly suitable for food defrosting.

Abstract: Several embodiments include a cooking instrument. The cooking instrument can include a heating system. The heating system can include one or more heating elements capable of emitting wireless energy into the cooking chamber. The cooking instrument can also include a control system. The control system can select a quantifiable cooking result and drive the heating system to achieve such cooking result. In at least one mode of operation, the control system can increase power density despite a power draw limit of an external power source.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for determining the temperature and nutrient content of items heated in a microwave oven. An example method of determining the temperature of the item includes receiving item information; receiving a trained water model; measuring, by an antenna, an emission value from the exterior of the microwave; determining, the power flow into the item based on the trained water model, the item information, and the emission value; and estimating, by the trained water model, a temperature change of the item. An example method of determining the nutrient content includes receiving item information; receiving a trained water model; measuring, by an antenna, an emission value from the exterior of the microwave; determining an emission spectrum from the emission value; and determining, using the emission spectrum, the item information, and the trained water model, a nutrient profile of the item.

Abstract: A cooking apparatus has a cooking chamber, a microwave unit to radiate microwaves to the cooking chamber, a convection unit to supply hot air to the cooking chamber, a grill unit to supply radiant heat to the cooking chamber, an input unit to receive a cooking command and a control unit to perform a cooking corresponding to the received cooking command by performing one of a first heating stage and a second heating stage, and after performing the one of the first heating stage and the second heating stage, performing the other one of the first heating stage and the second heating stage. In the first heating stage, the control unit operates the microwave unit and at least one of the convection unit and the grill unit, and in the second heating stage, the control unit operates the grill unit and the convection unit while not operating the microwave unit.

Abstract: In a method for treating food in a food handling device with a parameter configuration a measured value distribution of a surface property of the food is determined after expiration of the period of time by means of a sensor. A pattern of change is calculated from a comparison of the p-th measured value distribution with a measured value distribution determined previously. An assessment value Bq which represents a difference between a deviation of a target distribution from the measured value distribution and a deviation of the target distribution from a prediction pattern is calculated for all patterns of change stored hitherto. The prediction pattern is formed by superimposing the measured value distribution with the respective pattern of change, and the parameter configuration is set for which the assessment value Bq meets at least one predetermined criterion.

Abstract: A system and method of regulating ice formation at the platform. The system includes an electromagnetic source at a first location on the platform configured to generate a radio frequency wave and a waveguide extending from the first location to a second location of the platform. A processor is configured to control operation of the electromagnetic source to generate a radio frequency wave. The radio frequency wave propagates along the waveguide. Power from the radio frequency wave regulates ice formation at a selected location along the waveguide.
