How microwave ovens work
Radio Interference
Suitable and unsuitable containers:
Microwave ovens work by producing high frequency energy. This
energy agitates the water molecules in the food which rub
together causing heat.This heat cooks the food. Microwave ovens
do not cook food ‘inside out’.When thick food is cooked, the outer
layers are cooked mainly by microwaves while the inside is cooked
mainly by the slower conduction of heat from the hot outer layers.
Microwave cooking is very quick and efficient. Microwave cooking
can also help preserve the minerals and vitamins in many foods.
The microwave power output of your oven is 800 watts.
Because the temperature in a microwave oven is relatively cool
(unlike a normal oven) you have to remember that the food can be
extremely hot. Always take precautions when handling containers.
Cooking containers made from porcelain, glass and plastic can be
penetrated by microwaves. Use heat resistant containers made for
microwave ovens, otherwise there is a risk of shrinking, deforming
or burning.Metal containers,or containers having metal decoration
or trim are not suitable for use with your microwave oven.
When you are combination cooking, the container has to be
heatproof as well as suitable for microwave cooking, as the grill
functions like a normal grill and gets very hot.
Tesco stores stock a wide range of microwave containers and wraps
designed for microwave ovens.
Wax paper, oven cooking bags, parchment paper and white
microwave paper towels are safe for microwave use.
Wooden objects may catch fire - so avoid their use.
Do not use aluminium foil unless the recipe specifically requires it.
Keep foil at least 25mm away from the oven walls. Any metal
skewers,ties,etc.should be removed from food before cooking.
Avoid containers which narrow at the top as these may cause the
contents to erupt when removed from the oven.
:
Some basic guidelines are given below:
Plastic films should not touch food as
they may gas,melt or break down when hot and contaminate food.
Operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to your
radio,TV or similar equipment.When there is interference, it may
be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:
Clean the door and sealing surface of the oven.
Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
