Method and apparatus for delivering radio frequency electromagnetic energy to cook foodstuff

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for delivering radio frequency electromagnetic energy to cook foodstuff in an enclosed cavity of a cooking device includes generating, with a small signal generating component, a radio frequency signal at a first power level, amplifying the radio frequency signal to a second power level greater than the first power level with a radio frequency amplification component, and feeding the amplified radio frequency signal to the enclosed cavity.
