Abstract
Abstract It seems possible that Solid-State Radio Frequency (RF) transistors will one day replace magnetrons in consumer microwave ovens. These new ovens have the potential to be smaller and more energy efficient. Because they are closed loop systems, they can precisely cook food in ways that consumers have not seen before. This review outlines the basics of Solid-State RF systems and the consumer ovens that are currently available. There are two potential approaches for this new technology: first, the oven could be like current appliances and serve as a reheating device. Second, the oven could take advantage of the new technology to be a high-end cooking appliance. The food industry would be best served by learning more about this technology change and preparing for their products to be cooked using this type of equipment. Due to the even heating and overall consistency of the technology, it is possible that there are benefits to both quality and food safety for this technology.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the Microwave Power Energy (JMPEE) is a quarterly publication of the International Microwave Power Institute (IMPI), aimed to be one of the primary sources of the most reliable information in the arts and sciences of microwave and RF technology. JMPEE provides space to engineers and researchers for presenting papers about non-communication applications of microwave and RF, mostly industrial, scientific, medical and instrumentation. Topics include, but are not limited to: applications in materials science and nanotechnology, characterization of biological tissues, food industry applications, green chemistry, health and therapeutic applications, microwave chemistry, microwave processing of materials, soil remediation, and waste processing.
