GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

The glass turntable of your microwave	Glass turntable
oven lets microwaves pass through. Then
they bounce off a metal floor, back through
the glass turntable, and are absorbed by
the food.

Metal floor

Microwaves pass through most glass,

paper, and plastics without heating them

so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves

bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy.

Microwaves may not reach the center of a

roast. The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for

letting some foods (for example, roasts

or baked potatoes) stand for a while after

cooking, or for stirring some foods during

the cooking time.

The microwaves disturb water molecules

in the food. As the molecules bounce around

bumping into each other, heat is made, like

rubbing your hands together. This is the heat that does the cooking.

NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven.

Microwavable cookware is not suitable and

it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.
