The glass turntable
of your microwave oven
lets microwaves pass through. Then they
bounce off a metal floor, back through the
glass turntable, and are absorbed by the food.
Mlcrowaves
pass through most glass, paper
and plastics without heating them so food
absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off
metal pans so food does not absorb the
energy.
Microwaves
do
heat the CRISPWARE’M
Crisper Pan, however.
The rubberized pad on
the bottom of the Crisper Pan is made of a
special material which absorbs microwaves.
This heats the pan very rapidly, browning and
crisping the bottom of the food.
In most mkrowave ovens, mkrowaves
may
not reach the center of a roast. The heat
spreads to the center from the outer, cooked
areas just as in conventional cooking. This is
one of the reasons for letting some foods (for
example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a
while after cooking, or for stirring some foods
during the cooking time.
The microwaves disturb water molecules in
the food. As the molecules bounce around
bumping into each other, heat is made, like
rubbing your hands together. This is the heat
that does the cooking.
Although your VIP CRISPWAVETM micro-
wave oven cooks this way also, the DUO
SYSTEMTM heating system allows microwaves
to reach the center of the food more easily.
This results in faster cooking.
