The advantages of microwaves
I J Why food heats up
Most foods contain water and water molecules vibrate when subjected to microwaves.
The friction between molecules produces heat which raises the temperature of the food, de
freezing it, cooking it or keeping it hot.
Since the heat arises inside the food:
• fhis can be cooked with little or no liquid or fats/oils;
• De-freezing, heating or cooking in a microwave oven is quicker than in a conventional
oven;
• fhe vitamins, minerals and nutritional substances in the food are conserved;
• fhe natural colour and aroma of the food are unchanged.
Microwaves pass through china, glass, cardboard or plastic but do not go through metal. For this
reason, metal containers or ones with metal parts must not be used in a microwave oven.
Microwaves are reflected by metal..
but gc
china..
and are absorbed by foods.
