Cooking - Industrial microwave and radio frequency systems | SAIREM Technologies
A reliable cooking alternative to traditional ovens
Cooking is where food takes on its defining qualities — its flavor, color, structure, and texture. Microwave and radio frequency technologies offer a different approach to heating, enabling homogeneous cooking from the inside out, something traditional ovens cannot always achieve.
Depending on the application, microwave or radio frequency can be combined with complementary technologies such as infrared, hot air, or steam to optimize the cooking process.

Key advantages of microwave cooking
Cook in minutes
High-speed volumetric heating dramatically reduces cooking time compared to ovens, steam or hot-air systems.
Superior product quality
Even heating prevents overcooking, drying or surface burning, delivering consistent textures and flavors.
Perfect repeatability
Advanced temperature control ensures identical results batch after batch, regardless of product density or format.
Energy-efficient & compact
Fully electric systems with high energy efficiency and minimal footprint, ideal for modern production lines.
High flexibility
Cook fully with our solution, on its own or as a first step; additional technologies can be added for combined processing.
Compatible with trays & molds
Suitable for plastics, paper, cardboard and thermoformed packaging.
No surface damage
Gentle heating avoids crust defects, burning, or structural collapse.
Versatile for many recipes
Works with sauces, doughs, pastry creams, batters, and complete meals.
Cooking applications
SAIREM’s microwave and radio frequency systems are designed for the efficient cooking of a wide range of food products, from sauces and doughs to complete meals. For any specific recipe or process requirement, feel free to contact us.
Ready-to-eat meals cooking
Volumetric heating ensures the core temperature is reached quickly, eliminating hot and cold spots common in conventional ovens.
- Fast cooking
- Preserves flavors, colors and textures
- Ideal for mixed-density meals (sauces + solids)
- Compatible with plastic, paper and tray formats
- Reduces overall processing time and energy use
Desserts cooking
Microwave cooking is particularly efficient for creamy or delicate desserts. The gentle, uniform heating prevents curdling, syneresis or scorching.
- Smooth, homogenous texture
- No surface burning
- Reduced cooking time vs. steam or boiling
- High repeatability for premium desserts
Pie crusts & dough pre-cooking
Microwave cooking is ideal for stabilizing pie crusts, tart bases, pizza dough or laminated doughs before baking. It ensures controlled moisture migration, preventing sogginess or collapse during final baking.
- Faster pre-cooking
- Improved structural integrity
- Reduced waste and deformation
- Perfect for automated lines
Here’s a questions-and-answers section about industrial cooking or baking solutions.
Traditional baking is typically carried out in forced-air convection ovens. Heat is transferred to the surface of the product by convection, conduction, or radiation, and then gradually moves toward the core. This process is often slow, and as a crust forms, heat transfer is further limited, sometimes causing uneven cooking.
Microwave cooking deliver heat directly inside the product, enabling fast, uniform, and energy-efficient heating. Unlike traditional baking, this approach ensures rapid temperature rise throughout the product, producing consistent results, improved textures, and shorter cooking times.
Energy is transferred directly into the food, with minimal losses from heating air or the oven itself, making microwave cooking much more efficient than conventional thermal methods.
SAIREM systems combine high performance with precision, offering gentle, repeatable heating. They are designed to handle a wide range of food products while maintaining product quality and ensuring consistent results.
