How Your Microwave Oven works

Microwave 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.

Microwaves are like TV waves or light

waves. You cannot see them, but you can see what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven pro- duces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it turns on the glass turntable.

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

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal pans 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.
