Everything about Susceptor totally explained
A
susceptor is a material used for its ability to absorb
electromagnetic energy. This energy is typically
radiofrequency or
microwave radiation used in industrial heating processes, and also occasionally in
microwave cooking. The name is derived from
susceptance, an electrical property of materials that measures their tendency to convert electromagnetic energy to
heat.
In
microwave cooking, susceptors are built into paper packaging of certain foods, where they absorb microwaves which penetrate the packaging. This process raises the susceptor patch temperature to levels where it radiates strongly in the
infrared. This infrared radiation then shines onto the food below, causing a "broiling" type effect (high skin heating), due to lower ability of infrared to penetrate foods, vs. microwaves. Conversion of some microwave to infrared is particularly useful for goods which require crust browning from infrared, such as frozen pies.
The susceptor (which may be located on examination from its gray or blue-gray color, which is different from paper) is the reason why these products carry instructions to microwave the the food while still inside its packaging. Susceptor-containing bands meant to be slipped onto foods (example,
Hot Pockets) are also sold.
Among the first microwave susceptors marketed were those from the early
1990s in a product called
McCain Micro Chips, which demonstrated a susceptor sheet which cooked
French fries in a microwave oven.
Design
Susceptors are usually made of
ceramics or
metals (typically
aluminium flakes) or both.
