HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS

Microwaves are high - frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.

You can use your microwave to:

Defrost

Cook

Cooking principle

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly by using a stirrer distribution system. The food is thus cooked evenly.

2.The microwaves are absorbed by the food

up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.

3.Cooking times vary according to the container used and the properties of the food:

Quantity and density

Water content

Initial temperature (Refrigerated or not)

Important : As the center of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.

Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure.

Even cooking of the food right to the center

The same temperature throughout the food
