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)
