Cooking
Introduction
In Space Heat we outlined the development of
Free Heat ™ units to heat individual rooms. Now we take
up the matter of cooking. Currently home cooking is performed on a
cooking range consisting of four surface "burners" and one or two
ovens. It would be quite easy to simply replace the heat
sources in the cooking range with Free Heat ™ units.
This would involve replacing the existing range in the house with
a new Free Heat Range ™. If desired the microwave
oven could be replaced with a Free Heat Forced Convection
Oven ™. For "third world" countries the Free
Heat ™ units used for space heating could be arranged
so the unit could also serve as a "one burner" cooking unit.
The oven would be like the oven in a conventional electric range with the heating element(s) replaced with a Free Heat ™ unit(s). The laser diode would have to be shielded so it didn't get cooked. The oven controls can be electronic as for the surface "burners."
The substitute for the microwave oven would be like the oven in the Free Heat Range ™ but as a stand alone unit. A fan would force the air throughout the oven interior. The controls can be like the controls on a microwave oven.
