Bottom

Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves You can’t see them, but you can see what they do

MIcrowaves pass through glass, paper and plastic wtth- out heating them so food ab- sorbs the energy Microwaves bounce off metal pans so food does not absorb the energy

Oven Cavity

A magnetron In the mlcro- wave oven produces micro- waves The microwaves move Into the oven where they are scattered or stirred by a mode mixer (IIke 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 rea- sons for letting some foods (roasts, baked potatoes] stand for a while after cook- tng, or for stlrrlng some foods during the cooklng time

Metal Floor

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