Abstract

See full text

A fry-like microwave cooking process for producing food with a crisp exterior and a soft, tender interior includes the steps of applying an edible hydrophilic lossy susceptor to at least a portion of the surface of the food bearing a moisture-retardant edible barrier layer, and microwave cooking the susceptor-bearing food to provide a crisp exterior and a soft, tender interior for the food. The barrier layer is a natural skin, a dough layer or a film formed of a plasticized material selected from the group consisting of methylcellulose, carrageenan and combinations thereof. The susceptor includes glycerine, sucrose ester, and chloride salt. The susceptor is characterized by the property that 25 grams of the susceptor in a 50 ml. glass beaker is heatable to 200.degree. C. in less than 40 seconds by 900 watts of microwave energy in a 1.1 cu. ft. oven. Preferably the process further browns and crisps the food exterior through a Maillard reaction at a temperature of at least 135.degree. C., the susceptor additionally including a reducing sugar and an amino compound.
