Abstract
A material for converting microwave energy into thermal energy is made of a composition which includes a combination of iron oxide, a polymer coating, and at least the following compounds: calcium carbonate, water, aluminum silicate, ethylene glycol, and mineral spirits. The material performs the microwave to thermal conversion according to the principle of induction heating. A microwave cooking receptacle incorporates the converting material into its cooking surface for browning and searing food.
