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 microwaves its
molecules begin moving rapidly, causing it to heat
up.
The penetration depth of waves into the food is
approximately 2,5 cm; if the food is thicker, the
centre of the food will be cooked by conduction,
as in conventional cooking. Note that microwaves
cause a simple thermal phenomenon within food
and are not harmful to health.
