ICROWAVING PRINCIPLES
Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War ll.
Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. Manmade sources include radar,
radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.

OW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD
Microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radio frequency energy is intentionally generated and used in the form of
electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipment suitable for use in domestic
establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used
for domestic purposes.
In a microwave oven,
electricity is converted
into microwave by the
MAGNETRON.
▶REFLECTION
The microwaves bounce
off the metal walls and
the metal door screen.

▶TRANSMISSION
Then they pass through the cooking containers to be absorbed by
the water molecules in the food, all foods contain water to a more
or lesser extent.
▶ABSORPTION
The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate which
causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food.
Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods
high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can only
penetrate to a depth of 4-5cm and as heat spreads through the
food by conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks
from the outside inwards.
