Characteristic of the concept is that simultaneously several meal components inside a microwave appliance can be processed while at the same time each component will retain an optimal consumption temperature. Therefore it is possible to control the requested end temperature per meal component. Typically the end temperature ranges from refrigerator temperature up to
100'C.
Example 1: A meal can contain cold applesauce that after reheating stays cold* while the rest of the meal reached its desired consumption temperature.
[* a small influence of the raised environmental temperature inside the microwave cavity can't be avoided.]
Example 2: An Oriental (Indonesian) meal is prepared in such a way that the rice and chicken curry will reach a high end temperature while simultaneously the bean sprouts won't exceed a temperature of 42'C safeguarding its structure and taste.
In order to avoid misunderstandings, the concept will be positioned in the chilled market segment and as yet is not suited for frozen meals.
