INTROdUCTION TO MICROwAvE
COOKING
• Microwaves are invisible waves of
electromagnetic energy similar to radio
waves. Instead of being converted to
sound as in a radio or mobile phones,
it is converted into a heat source which
heats food from the inside.
• Microwaves cook because food
molecules of water, fat and sugar react to
the energy provided by the microwaves.
That energy is absorbed by the food
causing the molecules to vibrate quickly.
This movement creates friction which
causes the food to heat up and therefore
cook.
• The energy in a microwave is not
distributed evenly throughout the cavity.
The turntable rotates constantly while
cooking which prevents uneven cooking.
• Microwave cooking is considered the
"cool" cooking method as only the food
gets hot and surrounding air stays cool.
• Microwaves are safe and can
be economical.
• Ovens need no preheating therefore the
kitchen stays cooler. Cooking is cleaner
with less odours and washing up is
reduced.
• Microwave ovens cook foods rapidly,
Some foods are better cooked in a
microwave oven as they retain more
flavour, texture and goodness, such plain
fish fillets, soft fruit, vegetables and fat
free cakes.
