Microwaving; How To Operate The Oven - Sharp R-652M Operation Manual With Cookbook

MICROWAVING

Introduction:
Water, sugar and fat in food absorbs microwaves
and causes 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 utensils
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 microwave
leakage. Metallic dishes are not suitable for
microwaving.
(See suitable cookware, page 18 - 19).
