INTROdUCTION ON 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 enables even 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.
• Microwaves 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.
