ABSTRACT:
The defrosting and subsequent heating, cooking and/or baking of a frozen convenience food, in a microwave oven, is enhanced by surface-defrosting-wetting the surface of said frozen food with water to cause a positive surface-to-core differential in microwave lossiness in said food prior to exposing said surface-defrosted food to microwave radiation. Described is the step of blotting and/or draining off excess water after wetting and prior said exposure to microwave radiation. Described is adding replacement frying oil to microwave-heated fried convenience food. Also, described is the combination of the methods of this invention with the methods and apparatus described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,985,990 and 3,985,991 and in copending application U.S. Ser. No. 129,360, filed Mar. 11, 1980. The harvest-freezing for later defrosting of certain foods is described.
