Abstract
Abstract Metal coatings for browning dishes to be used in microwave ovens are obtained by use of plastes of: (a) 50 to 80% by weight of a mixture of (aa) 5 to 70% by weight of a conductive component formed of 5 to 95% by weight ruthenium oxide, and the balance being at least one of silver, palladium, rhodium oxide and/or bismuth oxide, (bb) 30 to 95% by weight of a glass frit (b) 20 to 50% by weight of an organic binder. Coatings which are applied to glass, ceramic and/or vitreous ceramic dishes and cooking vessels are very adherent and in a few minutes reach temperatures of up to 300° C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A browning vessel having a bottom surface, at least a portion of said bottom surface having adhered thereon as the sole coating a coating produced from a paste composition comprising: (a) 50 to 80% by weight of a mixture of (aa) 5 to 70% by weight of a conductive component formed of 5 to 95% by weight ruthenium oxide, and the balance being at least one of silver, palladium, rhodium oxide and/or bismuth oxide and mixtures thereof, (bb) 30 to 95% by weight of a glass frit (b) 20 to 50% by weight of an organic binder whereby said browning vessel functions to absorb microwave energy in a microwave oven so that the browning dish reaches a temperature of 300° in a relatively short time and leads a rapid browning of the food that is placed therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
A browning vessel having a bottom surface, at least a portion of said bottom surface having adhered thereon as the sole coating a coating produced from a paste composition comprising: (a) 50 to 80% by weight of a mixture of (aa) 5 to 70% by weight of a conductive component formed of 5 to 95% by weight ruthenium oxide, and the balance being at least one of silver, palladium, rhodium oxide and/or bismuth oxide and mixtures thereof, (bb) 30 to 95% by weight of a glass frit (b) 20 to 50% by weight of an organic binder whereby said browning vessel functions to absorb microwave energy in a microwave oven so that the browning dish reaches a temperature of 300° in a relatively short time and leads a rapid browning of the food that is placed therein.
Claim 3

Claim 5
Independent Claim
110 words
A method of making a browning vessel for use in microwave cooking comprising coating at least part of the surface of a cooking vessel with a paste composition comprising (a) 50 to 80% by weight of a mixture of (aa) 5 to 70% by weight of a conductive component formed of 5 to 95% by weight ruthenium oxide, and the balance being at least one of silver, palladium, rhodium oxide and/or bismuth oxide and mixtures thereof, (bb) 30 to 95% by weight of a glass frit (b) 20 to 50% by weight of an organic binder and firing the coated vessel at a suitable temperature to form an adhered coating.
