Abstract
A container and composition of matter combination useful in connection with electrical resistance cooking of electrically high conducting foods which comprises: PA1 (a) An electrically and preferably thermally insulating container which defines a food cavity having a substantially uniform longitudinal cross sectional area, and an aperture in each of its two most diametrically opposite ends; and PA1 (b) Electrical contacts located at said diametrically opposite ends attached to a surface, preferably the inside surface of the container ends while draping the apertures and extending out of the container to a source of electrical energy, and PA1 (c) A composition in intimate contact with the inner surfaces of said electrical contacts and the subject foodstuff consisting essentially of: PA2 (i) a gel; and PA2 (ii) a substantially ionized species Said composition being positioned to make intimate non-arcing contact between the electrically high conducting foodstuff and the electrical contacts during current flow. When the container is in a closed position and the electrically conducting and non-conducting foods are properly positioned therein, the electrically conducting food is pressed …
