A microwave burning furnace including a housing constituted by a metal on
which a microwave is to be irradiated, a metallic door provided in the
housing, a burning chamber provided in the housing and surrounded by a
material having a low microwave absorption characteristic and a high heat
insulating property, and microwave generating means, wherein the burning
chamber includes a heater element constituted by at least two types of
heating materials having a heating material for a high temperature region
which automatically generates a heat mainly in the high temperature
region to have a burning temperature by an irradiation of a microwave and
a heating material for a low temperature region which automatically
generates a heat mainly in the low temperature region including an
ordinary temperature.
