THEORY OF OPERATION
MICROWAVE OPERATION
Traditional microwave technology is only able
to generate microwave energy at full power. In
order to reduce the power when cooking, de-
frosting, or reheating food, the microwave cycles
on and off, intermittently heating the food at full
power, so that the food is still heated with full-
power, but for less time. This makes it difficult
to achieve slow, or simmer-type cooking.
A microwave operates at full power whenever
the magnetron is on. Reducing the power level
only reduces the time that the magnetron is on.
Newest developed technology has the ability
to control the level of microwave energy. When
cooking, defrosting, or reheating at reduced
power levels, the food receives constant en-
ergy that is evenly dispensed, producing true
slow, or simmer-type cooking.
