Claim:
A method for the microwave cooking, browning and crisping of a rising dough rim having a first smaller uncooked size and a second larger cooked size, including the steps of: providing a susceptor support for supporting the rising dough rim; placing the rising dough rim on the susceptor support; providing a susceptor ring having a size larger than the first size of said rising dough rim, approximately equal to the second size of said rising dough rim; placing said susceptor ring over said rising dough rim; heating said susceptor support, susceptor ring and rising dough rim in microwave oven; continuing said heating step so as to heat said susceptor ring so as to cause said rising dough rim to rise, growing in size approaching said second, larger cooked size; continuing said microwave heating until said rising dough rim contacts said susceptor ring; continuing said microwave heating until said rising dough rim increases in size so as to conform to said susceptor ring; and continuing said microwave heating to cause said rising dough rim to grow in height while maintaining the surface of rising dough rim to conform to the susceptor ring to raise the susceptor ring above the susceptor support, so as to form a vent space between said susceptor ring and said susceptor support.
