OPERATING PRINCIPLE

•
The micro-waves used for cooking are
electro-magnetic waves. They are commonly
found in our environment in the form of
radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays.
Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:
• They are reflected by metals.
• They travel through all other
materials.
• They are absorbed by water, fat
and sugar molecules.
When food is exposed to micro-waves,
its molecules begin moving rapidly, which
causes heating.
The penetration depth of waves into the
food is approximately 2.5 cm; if the food is
thicker, the core of the food will be cooked
by conduction, as in traditional cooking.

THE ENVIRONMENT
It is valuable to note that the micro-waves
trigger within the food causes a simple
phenomenon and that they are not
to one's health.
