4. cooling down for a microwave oven so no energy is consum ed and wasted A microwave oven does not become hot during cooking only the foods get hot The kitchen remains coal always and this means comfort to the cook Microwave cooking also means less washing up Foods can be cooked and served in the same container as they do not get hot during cooking in a microwave oven Spatters and spills do not burn on the oven walls so it is easy to keep the oven nice and clean Do not worry if you forget to defrost the meat The microwave oven can defrost frozen food in a matter of minutes Cooking can then begin immediately Reheating of foods in a microwave oven is also another advantage for late comers in the family Reheating of food will not spoil its appearance and flavour 18 The theory of microwave cooking When the microwave oven is plugged in the ordinary electrical current is converted to microwaves by a tube called a magnetron The microwaves are of very short wave length and high frequency The waves are then channelled into the cavity of the oven Distribution of microwaves is evenly done by a stirring fan installed in the oven The oven walls will reflect the microwave energy directly to the food causing its molecules to vibrate at an incredibly high speed These vibrations generate the heat that cooks the food without heating the oven or cooking container although a container may sometimes be warmed subsequently
