Abstract

By, according to the invention, producing a food product tray ( 1 ) with a lid ( 2 ) using a basic material ( 3 ) such as aluminum, and providing said material ( 3 ) with a coating ( 4 ) comprising at least two layers ( 9 and 10 ), of which at least one of the materials has a high emission value, it is possible with a suitable dimensioning and placement of the coating ( 4 ) on the inner and/or outer side of the tray ( 1 ) and the lid ( 2 ) to obtain a hitherto unknown precise heating of the individual food products within the same heating time in an oven ( 12 ). The oven ( 12 ) has heating elements ( 14 - 16 ) which may abut against the sides and bottom of the tray as well as against the lid ( 2 ), said heating elements ( 14 - 16 ) may have a zonal heat emission in order to obtain the best possible cooking of the food. A QR code ( 20 ) on the lid ( 2 ) readable by the oven ( 12 ) allows for programming the oven with a view to both heat exposure intensity and position of the heat exposure in relation to the food products ( 6 A and 7 A) in the tray ( 1 ).

Claims (25)

1. A system comprising:

a heat-resistant tray;

a removable lid configured to cover the heat-resistant tray;

the heat-resistant tray comprising one or more compartments, and configured to partly store food products and partly heat food products in an oven, wherein the oven comprises heat-producing contact elements, where at least one of the heat-producing contact elements is an upper contact element configured to abut an outer surface of the removable lid and comprising penetrating means to form steam outlet openings in the heat resistant lid; and

wherein the heat-resistant tray and the removable lid are at least partially covered on the inner and/or outer surfaces with a coating with a high emission value, a high refractive index, or a combination thereof.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the coating comprises one or more layers comprising a powdered, micronised substance.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the heat-producing elements is configured to abut a bottom surface or side surfaces of the heat-resistant tray.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the coating transmits heat by conduction, radiant heat, induction heat, convection heat, or a combination thereof.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the heat-producing contact elements comprise actuators for movement for abutment against and movement away from the heat-resistant tray and/or the removable lid.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the heat-producing contact elements comprise one or more heating elements for zonal heat release.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the powdered, micronised substance comprises a material selected from the group consisting of carbon (C), silicon (Si), titanium oxide (TiO2), magnesium oxide (MgO), Zinc sulfate (ZnS) and gallium phosphate (GaP).

8. A system comprising:

a heat-resistant tray;

a removable lid configured to cover the heat-resistant tray;

the heat-resistant tray comprising one or more compartments, and configured to partly store food products and partly heat food products in an oven;

wherein the heat-resistant tray and the removable lid are at least partially covered on the inner and/or outer surfaces with a coating comprising a powdered, micronized substance selected from the group consisting of carbon (C), silicon (Si), titanium oxide (Ti2), magnesium oxide (MgO), zinc sulfate (Zn), and gallium phosphate (GaP).

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the coating comprises one or more layers comprising a powdered, micronised substance.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the coating transmits heat by conduction, radiant heat, induction heat, convection heat, or a combination thereof.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the oven further comprises:

heat-producing contact elements, the elements configured to abut a bottom surface, side surfaces of the heat-resistant tray as well configured to abut an outer surface of the removable lid.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein one or more of the heat-producing contact elements comprise actuators for movement for abutment against and movement away from the heat-resistant tray and/or the removable lid.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the heat-producing contact elements comprise one or more heating elements for zonal heat release.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the heat-producing contact elements comprise at least an upper contact element, and

wherein the upper contact element comprises penetrating means to form steam outlet openings in the lid.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the powdered, micronised substance comprises a material selected from the group consisting of carbon (C), silicon (Si), titanium oxide (TiO2), magnesium oxide (MgO), Zinc sulfate (ZnS) and gallium phosphate (GaP).
