HOW MICRO- OVENS WORK
Microwave ovens are safe Microwave energy
IS
not hot It causes food to
make Its own heat and it’s thts heat that cooks the food
Microwaves are like TV
waves or light waves You
can’t see them, but you can
see what they do
Mrcrowaves oass through
glass paper and plastic
wrthout heating them so food
absorbs the energy Mtcro~
waves bounce off metal pans
so food does not absorb the
energy
Mode Mixer Maanetron
Ceramic Bottom
Oven.Cavity
A magnetron tn the micro-
wave oven produces
mrcrowaves The microwaves
move into the oven where
they are scattered or stirred
by a mode mtxer [Irke a fan]
Microwaves bounce off
metal oven walls and are
absorbed by food
Microwaves may not reach
the center of a roast The heat
around the outsrde IS what
cooks the roast all the way
through This is one of the
reasons for letting some
foods (roasts, baked pota-
toes) stand for a while after
cookrng, or for stirring some
foods during the cooking time
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB
Metal Floor
The ceramic bottom of your
microwave oven lets micro-
waves through. Then they
bounce off a metal floor,
back through the ceramic
bottom and are absorbed by
the food
The mrcrowaves disturb
water molecules in the food
As the molecules bounce
around bumping into each
other, heat
IS
made, like rub-
bing your hands together
This IS the heat that cooks
