The invention allows the temperature profile of the food product to be set at a predetermined level. A grid is used in combination with a conductive ring. There is preferably a spacing between the grid and the surface of the food product between about 0.25 inch and about 2.4 inches, a margin between openings in the grid between about 0.6 inch and about 1.8 inches, and the openings in the grid are of a size between about 0.75 inch and about 1.75 inches. A single iris embodiment is disclosed. The single iris may be in contact with the surface of the food product or spaced therefrom. An embodiment is also disclosed wherein a grid is in contact with the food surface.
