Title: A method of browning food in a microwave oven
Inventor: ECK PHYLLIS
IPC: H05B6/68
Filed: 1981-06-05
Granted: 1986-11-13
Abstract: The method comprises the application of power to a microwave generating device with the application of power to an infrared heater. The opertional periods of each type of radiation device are automatically varied over the cooking cycle. The parameters of these periods are empirically predetermined for each broad category of food and retained in a nonvolatile memory. In one embodiment, the periods are adjusted to compensate for varying quantities of food and desired donenesses by relating them to a total cooking time per unit mass empirically predeterminded for each food category and doneness. Alternatively, the periods are adjusted by entering the food mass into a microprocessor in the oven. The microprocessor calculates the cooking time by use of the food category, food mass and power input to the microwave generating device. In either embodiment, the recipe may also include varying the microwave power and providing cooling air. Compensation for variations in initial heater temperatures are provided to allow cooking of a second item of food immediately after cooking a first time.

Inventor: SCHIMMEL GUNTHER DR
IPC: C01B25/32
Filed: 1982-08-18
Granted: 1985-02-14
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for after-treating extraction residues, termed raffinates, originating from the extractive decontamination of crude phosphoric acid. To this end, the disclosure provides for the raffinates to be converted to two separate solid matter fractions of differant chemical composition by admixing the raffinates with a calcium compound so as to establish a pH-value of 1.2 up to 2.5. Next, the resulting precipitate consisting essentially of gypsum is filtered off as a first solid matter fraction, and washed with water. The resulting filtrate and the wash water are made into a mixture and predetermined proportions of calcium compound are added so as to obtain, after complete reaction, a fully reacted filter cake with a pH-value of 9 up to 12, the resulting suspension being filtered off at a pH-value of 6 to 8. The filter cake consisting essentially of calcium phosphate is separated as the second solid matter fraction, and allowed to react completely.
