MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES

Microwave energy

 has been used in this country to cook and reheat 

food since early experiments with RADAR in World War ll. Microwaves are 

present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. 

Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links 

and car phones.

HOW MICROWAVES 

COOK FOOD

The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which causes 

FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also 

attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high in these will cook more 

quickly. Microwaves can only penetrate to a depth of 4-5cm and as heat 

spreads through the food by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food 

cooks from the outside inwards.

In a microwave oven, electricity is converted into 

microwave by the MAGNETRON.

The microwaves bounce off the metal walls and 

the metal door screen.

Then they pass through the cooking containers 

to be absorbed by the water molecules in the 

food, all foods contain water to a more or lesser 

extent.
