First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A microwave oven comprising a microwave generator, a control unit that controls the microwave generator, and a tray that has an aperture arranged at the center thereof where the microwave density is higher than the edges, and whereon the foodstuffs such as vegetables and fruits to be dried are placed, characterized by one or more than desiccant block that is disposed on the tray. 2 . The microwave oven as in claim 1 , characterized by the tray comprising holes in such size to allow the passage of electromagnetic energy and one or more than one support that enables the foodstuffs to be kept in an orderly manner. 3 . The cooling device as in claim 1 , characterized by the desiccant block that is produced from a material that is microwave permeable and that has desiccant properties. 4 . The microwave oven as in claim 3 , characterized by the desiccant block that is produced from ceramic material. 5 . The microwave oven as in claim 3 , characterized by the desiccant block that is produced from a material comprising cordierite. 6 . The microwave oven as in claim 3 , characterized by the desiccant block that is produced from a material comprising pizza stone. 7 . The microwave oven as in claim 1 , characterized by the desiccant block that is disposed into the aperture. 8 . The microwave oven as in claim 1 , characterized by the desiccant block that is disposed at the underside of the base of the drying tray. 9 . The microwave oven as in claim 1 , characterized by the drying tray the base of which is produced from the material of the desiccant block. 10 .
