6. Microwave Work Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio Absorption waves similar to those used by a radio including AM FM and CB They are however much shorter than radio waves approximately 12 cm long Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube From the magnetron tube microwave energy is transmitted and absorbed During heating microwaves will be absorbed by food They penetrate to a depth of about 1 5 cm Microwave energy excites the molecules in the food especially water fat and sugar molecules and causes them to vibrate at a rate of 2 450 000 000 times per second This vibration causes friction and Reflection heat is produced just as you will feel heat produced if you vigorously rub your hands together The internal heating of larger foods is done by conduction The heat which is produced by friction travels by conduction to the centre of the food Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off a wall A combination of stationary interior walls and rotating antenna located underneath the bottom shelf and above the ceiling cover assure that the microwaves are well Foods also continue to heat by conduction during distributed within the oven cavity to produce even standing time N l i heating or cooking of foods Because microwaves dissipate much like sunlight as it reaches the Earth s surface they are not stored in food Transmission Microwaves pass throug

10. METAL UTENSILS in this oven DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS 1 If you try to completely defrost frozen foods in the microwave oven uneven defrosting may occur due to the differences in the thickness and shape of the food Drip may also result and sometimes a part of the food cooks although other parts still remain frozen In actual usage of frozen foods you should not normally defrost them 100 70 defrosting in the microwave oven is ideal and helpful for the next cooking operation 2 To defrost evenly turn over or rearrange the food during defrosting 3 To defrost fatty meat heat it in the microwave oven for a short time and leave it to stand at room temperature or heat it intermittently until defrosted 4 When you defrost a whole chicken or any frozen food of irregular shape wrap legs or thin parts with aluminum foil Otherwise thin parts will be defrosted faster and sometimes cooked before other parts have properly defrosted For big pieces of meat wrap the sides with aluminum foil so that they will be uniformly thawed by vertical microwaves only 5 Ice should be removed during defrosting OTHER HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS FOR BEST RESULTS 1 When determining heating time for particular foods always select minimum time and check occasionally during cooking for progress The microwave oven cooks so quickly therefore it is easy to overcook food 2 Be careful of the cooking time for small quantities of foods or
