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.
