1/NOTICES TO THE USER
The microwaves 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 microwaves, 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.
It is valuable to note that the microwaves
trigger within the food a simple thermal
phenomenon and that they are not harmful to
one’s health.
