Abstract

A disc-like reflector, in addition to preventing excessive cooking of the food in a region immediately adjacent the probe housing, functions as a spring to hold the handle and reflector assembly together. The assembly remains tightly together despite different coefficients of thermal expansion of the various component parts.
