HOW MICROWWE OVENS WORK

Mtcrowave	ovens are safe. Microwave	energy IS not hot It causes	food to
make its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food
	Mode Mixer	Magnetron	Ceramic Bottom
	\	/

Mrcrowaves are lake TV waves or lrght waves You can’t see them, but you can see what they do

Mrcrowaves pass through glass, paper and plastic wtthouf heatrng them so food absorbs the energy Mrcro- waves bounce off metal pans so food does not absorb the energy

Oven .Cavity

A magnetron in the micro- wave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they are scattered or stirred by a mode mixer (like a fan). Microwaves bounce off metal oven walls and are absorbed by food.

Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat around the outside is what cooks the roast all the way through. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (roasts, baked pota- toes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cookrng time

Metal Bottom

The ceramic bottom of your microwave oven lets micro- waves through Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the ceramrc bottom and are absorbed by the food.

The microwaves drsturb water molecules in the food As the molecules bounce around bumptng Into each other, heat IS made lrke rub- bing your hands together ThusIS the heat that cooks
