Abstract:
1. A method of producing an edible food product comprising the steps of: forming a vessel core having a plate portion and a plurality of posts extending from the plate portion with a first material having a first level of susceptibility to heating by induction; casting an apron of a second material with a second level of susceptibility to heating by induction lower than the first level around at least a first portion the vessel core in an in situ casting process to form a first clad cooking vessel having a first cooking surface; disposing an uncooked food product on the first cooking surface of the first clad cooking vessel; and heating the uncooked food product in the first clad cooking vessel by subjecting the vessel core to a magnetic field; wherein the presence of the posts reduces the likelihood of variation in surface temperature of the first cooking surface during heating.
