Title:
METHOD, DEVICE AND RECEPTACLE FOR HEATING PRE-PREPARED MEALS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999055212
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method, device and receptacle for heating pre-prepared meals (4). Said meals can be accommodated in open or closed receptacles (11) and can be heated by means of induction heating coils. In the catering industry, pre-prepared meals are normally heated using known circulating air ovens, whereby a greater power usage and relatively long heating times are disadvantageous especially during mobile use of these ovens. For inductively heating such pre-prepared meals, it is necessary to use corresponding special kitchenware suited therefor. The aim of the invention is to heat meals in a highly effective manner and with a good quality while using less time and energy. To this end, the invention provides that the meals accommodated in the receptacles (11) are heated in closed compartments using inductive heating coils and hot steam such that the heating time and the quality of such regenerated, pre-prepared meals can be decreased and improved respectively.
