USING MICROWAVE MODE
Microwaves are high frequency electromagnetic waves. In microwave cooking,
microwave energy penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar
content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid
movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.
