HOW MICROWWE OVENS WORK
Mtcrowave ovens are safe. Microwave energy
IS
not hot It causes food to
make its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food
Mrcrowaves are lake TV
waves or lrght waves You
can’t see them, but you can
see what they do
Mrcrowaves pass through
glass, paper and plastic
wtthouf heatrng them so food
absorbs the energy Mrcro-
waves bounce off metal pans
so food does not absorb the
energy

Oven .Cavity
A magnetron in the micro-
wave oven produces
microwaves. The microwaves
move into the oven where
they are scattered or stirred
by a mode mixer (like 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 outside 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
cooking, or for stirring some
foods during the cookrng time
Metal Bottom
The ceramic bottom of your
microwave oven lets micro-
waves through Then they
bounce off a metal floor,
back through the ceramrc
bottom and are absorbed by
the food.
The microwaves drsturb
water molecules in the food
As the molecules bounce
around bumptng Into each
other, heat IS made lrke rub-
bing your hands together
Thus IS the heat that cooks
