Method and system for dielectric heating and cooking
A method of heating an object using a dielectric heating. The method comprises positioning an object in a cavity of a dielectric heating oven, allowing a user to allocate an amount of energy to dissipate in the object during a temperature elevation of the object, and elevating the temperature of the object by using the dielectric heating oven according to the amount of energy.
1 . An article of manufacturing comprising a seared raw meat slice; wherein said seared raw meat slice is configured to turn a texture of at least one of medium cooking degree and well done cooking degree when maintained at a temperature of less than 60° degrees for less than 30 minutes.
2 . The article of claim 1 , wherein said seared raw meat slice loses less than 15 percent after being maintained at said temperature.
3 . The article of claim 1 , wherein said seared raw meat slice comprises a member from a group consisting of a beef portion, a pork portion, a mutton portion, lamb portion, a poultry portion, a shellfish portion, and a fish portion.
4 . The article of claim 3 , further comprising a container for sealing said seared raw meat slice.
5 . The article of claim 3 , wherein said container is a vacuum pack.
6 . An article of manufacturing comprising:
a package; and
a seared slice of raw meat sealed in said package.
7 . The article of claim 6 , wherein said seared slice is frozen.
8 . The article of claim 6 , wherein said seared slice is chilled.
9 . The article of claim 6 , wherein said package is a vacuum package.
10 . The article of claim 6 , wherein said seared slice has a width of at least 5 centimeters.
11 . A method of heating an object using a dielectric heating, comprising:
tagging an object with a plurality of machine readable tags each defining a cooking instructions set;
designating at least one of said cooking instructions sets by deactivating a first group of said plurality of machine readable tags;
automatically reading said at least one designated cooking instructions set from a second group of said plurality of machine readable tags; and
elevating the temperature of said object by using said dielectric heating oven according to said designated cooking instructions;
wherein each member of said second group is not a member of said first group.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said plurality of machine readable tags comprises a plurality of printed labels, said tagging comprises attaching said plurality of machine readable tags to said object and said deactivating comprises removing said first group from said object.
