Turn Your Microwave into a 750°F (400°C) Juicy Grill Cooker

Cook in minutes with patented far-infrared heat—lock in flavor, reduce smoke, and enjoy oven-quality meals from your microwave

The evolution of kitchen gadgets continues with the RANGEMATE Signature, a next-generation microwave cooker from Pellytech, a company with over 20 years of expertise in microwave cooking technology. The RANGEMATE Signature is designed to transform an ordinary microwave into a full-featured, multi-functional oven and grill. Unlike conventional microwave cookware that often results in dry, unevenly heated food, the Signature model uses a patented technology to convert electromagnetic waves into far-infrared heat, promising oven-quality results—including crispy textures and professional grill marks—in a fraction of the time, while being an eco-friendly and energy-efficient cooking method.

Project Overview

Name and Creator: RANGEMATE Signature by Pellytech Co., Ltd. (a South Korean manufacturer).

What It Is: The RANGEMATE Signature is an innovative cookware device that leverages patented technology to convert a microwave's electromagnetic waves into powerful, far-infrared heat, reaching maximum temperatures of approximately 500∘C. This core technology allows users to achieve the cooking effects of grilling, roasting, and steaming within the speed and convenience of a microwave oven, while shielding food from direct electromagnetic contact.

Key Features

Patented Energy Conversion Technology:

• Microwave to Far-Infrared Heat: The device's internal "heating plate" absorbs microwave energy and converts it into far-infrared radiation. This method allows food to be cooked with intense, even heat, mimicking grilling and roasting, which prevents food from becoming dry or rubbery.

• Maximum Temperature: Capable of reaching temperatures up to approximately 500∘C, allowing for fast cooking and proper browning/grilling.

• Electromagnetic Wave Shielding: The design of the pan and lid prevents electromagnetic waves from directly contacting the food.

Multi-Functional Cooking:

• Grill and Roast: Allows users to grill meats (achieving grill marks), roast vegetables, and cook frozen foods (like dumplings or cutlets) without the need for prior defrosting or oil.

• Versatility: Capable of various cooking methods, including grilling, roasting, cooking rice and noodles, making soup, steaming, baking, and egg frying.

Design and Safety:

• Non-Stick and Durable: Features a PFAS-free ceramic coating for superior durability and easy, quick cleaning.

• Convenience: Designed for fast cooking, often completing dishes in minutes (e.g., a frozen cutlet in ≈7 minutes, compared to ≈40 minutes with defrosting and frying).

• Eco-Friendly: Does not generate smoke or odors like fossil fuel stoves and offers high energy efficiency compared to traditional electric heaters.

• User-Friendly: Includes cool-touch SPS handles and a patented pressure valve.

The Idea

Concept: The core idea is to liberate home cooks from the trade-off between microwave speed and traditional cooking quality. By utilizing its patented far-infrared technology, the RANGEMATE Signature aims to offer the speed of a microwave combined with the authentic taste, texture, and convenience of grilling and roasting, all within a single, easy-to-clean, and energy-efficient device.

Inspiration: Pellytech’s inspiration comes from 20 years of specializing in microwave cookware, recognizing the need for a solution that overcomes the common culinary limitations of microwave ovens (i.e., dry, unevenly cooked food) to provide a healthier, more versatile, and truly convenient cooking experience.
