Description of the Microwave Oven

The advantages of a microwave oven:

In a conventional oven the heat radiated by the resistances or gas burners, slowly penetrates the
food from the outside to the inside. There is, therefore, a great loss of energy in the heating of the
air, oven components and recipients.
On the other hand, in microwave ovens the heat is generated in the interior of the food itself,
heating it from the inside outwards. There is therefore no loss of energy as the air, interior walls of
the oven and recipients (when adequate) do not heat up with microwaves.
In short, microwave ovens have the following advantages:
1. Save on cooking time: in general there is a 3/4 reduction of the cooking time than with
conventional methods.
2. Ultra-quick defrosting which prevents bacteria development.
3. Electricity saving.
4. Maintaining the nutritive value of the food due to the cooking time reduction.
5. Easy cleaning.
