An apparatus is described to bake meat or fruit pies with full top and bottom crusts while in their metal plates in a microwave oven. The pie is baked in an enclosure designed to contain said pie, in steam generated by said pie, while microwave energy, by direct exposure, simultaneously (1) bakes said pie\s top crust and (2) converts to heat within a microwave-lossy heating element which heating element in contact with said metal pie plate, on heating, bakes said pie\s bottom crust. Described are methods to create superheated steam and trap condensed water within said enclosure. Described are novel microwave-oven, microwave-lossy heating elements made of two metal sheets sandwiching a microwave-absorptive material.

Apparatus to bake, in a metal pie plate, a pie with a full top and bottom crust in a microwave oven which comprises: a microwave-permeable, heat-insulating container whose inner walls and floor define a chamber to bake said pie therein, a microwave-lossy heating member within said chamber to heat by conduction, at least, the bottom of said metal pie plate when said pie in its metal pie plate is baked thereon, and metal means to support said heating member in a spaced relationship above the floor of said chamber.
