OW TO OPERATE THE OVEN
Introduction: Microwaves are absorbed by water, sugar
and fat in food and cause them to vibrate. This creates
heat by friction, in the same way your hands get warm
when you rub them together.
Outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy,
and remaining portions by conduction. It is, therefore,
important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even
heating. Where recommended, allow food to stand, this
is not optional but necessary to ensure thorough cooking

and is particularly important for dense food, such as joints
of meat.
Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and uten-
sils and heat the food inside the dishes. Microwaves
are reflected by metal. The oven is lined with metal and
has a fine metallic mesh in the door to prevent micro-
wave leakage. Metallic dishes are not suitable for
microwaving.
