How A Microwave Oven Works; What To Do If You Are In Doubt Or Have A Problem - Samsung ce73jd Owner's Instructions & Cooking Manual

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 oven to:
• Defrost
• Reheat
• Cook
Cooking Principle
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron reflected at cavity and are
distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. 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)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking
continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.
Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be
respected to ensure:
• Even cooking of the food right to the centre
• The same temperature throughout the food
