  • Page 10: How Your Microwave Oven Works

    Plastic foam Wood How Your Microwave Oven Works The microwave oven has an electronic tube called a magne- tron that produces microwaves, very short radio waves. The microwaves then pass through a wave-guide and into the oven cavity. The microwaves penetrate the food and cause water molecules within the food to vibrate extremely rapidly.
  • Page 11 Important Safety Instructions partially transparent to microwaves. Microwaves do not directly heat the oven walls and most cooking utensils because they do not absorb microwave energy. However, they fre- quently get very warm through being in direct contact with hot food.

  • Page 34 More About Beyond Microwaving When you scan the barcode on a package of food, the Beyond Microwave Oven searches its database of over 4000 barcodes. Each barcode in the oven’s memory has a corre- sponding set of cooking instructions. If the oven finds the barcode in its memory, it automatically programs itself to cook the food.

  • Page 49 Reference Reference Guidelines for General Microwave Cooking: • Cook the food for the shortest time possible. If necessary, add cooking time until the food reaches the appropriate temperature. • The quantity, denseness, and temperature of food will all determine the cooking time necessary. Check for doneness, and if necessary cook or reheat for additional time.
  • Page 50 Microwave Oven Owner’s Manual • The edge of the cooking container gets more microwave energy than the center. So, place the densest part of the food (broccoli stem, for example) near the outside, and the less dense part (broccoli head) towards the center.
  • Page 51 • Omit instructions on package to rotate containers midway during cooking; this is not necessary since the Beyond Micro- wave has a turntable. • If there are directions on the package for cooking food fro- zen or thawed, the Beyond Microwave is programmed to cook the food thawed.
