A cooking container designed to brown and scorch slightly both sides of
food at the same time, and a microwave oven having such a cooking
container. This cooking container includes a pan body and a lid, each
including a heating part generating heat using microwaves and a heat
transfer part transferring heat from the heating part to food. The body
of the container has a first cooking part covered with the lid, and a
second cooking part having an open top. A plurality of embossments are
provided on each of the first cooking part and the lid while being
regularly spaced apart from each other, and so both sides of sliced bread
laid in the first cooking part are thus browned and scorched slightly
during the process of cooking. The second cooking part is used for frying
eggs. A coated layer is formed on the inside surface of each heat
transfer part of the container, thus preventing a corrosion of the heat
transfer part and a sticking of food to the heat transfer part. The pan
body and the lid are seated in the cooking cavity while being contained
in upper and lower casings made of a material capable of transmitting
microwaves.
