OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The microwaves used for cooking are
electromagnetic waves. They are commonly found
in our environment in the form of radio waves, light
and 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 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.
