A complete description of the innovation, together with a one-page summary.
Topless Microwave Cooking Device
Topless Microwave Cooking Device has a generally cylindrical door assembly that opens to permit movement of a food container in upwardly vertical direction. The generally cylindrical door assembly has a rigid or flexible microwave-opaque screen so as to be opened and closed to reveal the interior chamber in sliding, folding, rolling, or rotational movement. A means for water molecules to escape from the interior chamber may be provided.
The Topless Microwave Cooking Device can be best described in conceptual drawings with the door closed and open, as shown below respectively.
The innovation is explained in detail in the patent application attached.
If the innovation is patented, provide a copy of the patent. If a patent has been applied for and has not been issued yet, include a copy of the patent application.

Specific information on the development of the innovation from concept through to a complete product or process.
In 1997, a project was initiated to create a new microwave cooking device with top-loading configuration.
The evaluation of conventional microwave ovens revealed that they only provide a door at the front, and none of them had top-loading configuration. The technological uncertainty was created by the unknown structural integrity of the door mechanism, as well as the need for a microwave confinement technique to contain microwave leakage.
Thus, new approach to open and close a microwave oven with a generally cylindrical door assembly was conceived. A number of door configurations were developed, tested, and discarded in an effort to find a few that would most efficiently permit movement of a food container in upwardly vertical direction.
The patent application entitled Topless Microwave Cooking Device was made in 1998.
An outline of the application or marketing results of the innovation.
There are people who do everything in microwaves and would never use anything else. However, there are many shortcomings with the conventional microwave ovens, including the lack of ventilation which increases the humidity inside the oven to unacceptably high levels, as well as the requirement of many recipes to take out the pot in mid-cooking to stir the contents.
The concept of the Topless Microwave Cooking Device can be applied to other kinds of cooking devices, such as halogen ovens.
The Topless Microwave Cooking Device is being promoted on a website on the Internet. A licensing deal is being sought with possible manufacturers.

Microwaves are part of the fast food society we live in. I'm sold on microwaves. I do everything in microwaves; poach fish, cook corn and vegetables all the time. I'd never use anything else. Throw in a corn on the cob and it's done in three and a half minutes.

I see a few problems but these are not too difficult to solve.
A statement of the economic or social benefits to Canada, or potential benefits, resulting from the application or marketing of the innovation.
Canada has one of the highest rate of possession of microwave ovens in the world. In the latest survey, 85 % of Canadian households owned at least one microwave in 1996, an increase of 12 % from 1992, according to Statistics Canada.
Canada also has a strong and competitive microwave industry, both for communications and for consumers. If the Topless Microwave Cooking Device is mass-produced in Canada, there will be a great economic benefit to Canada, especially with an export potential.
