What are the advantages of microwave cooking?

Whirlpool MagiCook microwave zone
The majority of reports published on the nutritive value of foods cooked in microwave ovens indicate that food prepared in this manner is at least as nutritious as compared to food cooked by conventional methods. Most of these studies have concentrated on vitamin retention and indicate that cooking in minimal water for a reduced time, as occurs with micro waving, promotes the retention of the water-soluble vitamins particularly of vitamin C and thiamin.

Is microwave cooking safe?

Whirlpool MagiCook microwave zone
It is extremely safe, since the microwaves that cook the food are non-ionizing, which means that they do not cause harmful changes in molecules. They only create heat, which has no more effect on the body than the normal heat. What is more, the door is carefully designed so as to confine the microwave power in the oven capacity. As per ISI standard, 2 switches have been provided to prevent the magnetron power supply to be switched off the moment the door is opened. See similar questions...

How does Microwave Oven help cooking?

Godrej Smartcare - FAQs ::
In normal cooking, the food is heated by an external heat source through conduction or convection. In microwave cooking, the heat is generated inside the food itself. The principle of microwave cooking is that the microwaves cause the millions of molecules to turn over and return very rapidly and to rub against each other. The rubbing of the molecules together generates frictional heat in the same way that the heat is generated when both hands are rubbed together. See similar questions...

Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?

About MC Appliance Corporation ( magicchef ewave appliances ...
A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam from cooking food hitting the cool oven surface. A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes are made to allow light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through. A : All of our models are designed with Safety Thermal Cutoffs that will shut the unit down if the oven cavity exceeds preset temperature. Once the unit cools it will automatically reset.

How is cooking done in a microwave oven?

Nash - FAQs ::
In a microwave oven, microwaves are produced by a device called the magnetron / inverter. These waves pass though materials like glass, ceramic, paper and plastic. The waves cause the water molecules inside the food to vibrate. This high speed vibration causes heat and cooks the food from within. See similar questions...

Why do some microwave ovens not seem to have a metal surface in the cooking area?

How Things Work - Microwave Ovens
The cooking chamber of a microwave oven is always metallic. Even the glass door has a metal grid across it to keep the microwaves inside. This metal chamber may be coated with paint or plastic but it is there nonetheless. Without it, the microwaves would leak out and the oven would be hazardous and inefficient. It would cook objects throughout the kitchen. See similar questions...

What exactly goes on when you're cooking a potato in the microwave and it explodes?

How Things Work - Microwave Ovens
A microwave oven heats food by depositing energy in its water. If you cook the food long enough, that water can begin to boil. If the food has a hard outer shell (e.g. a potato or a corn kernel), the boiling water can create enough pressure in the food to make it explode. That is what pops the corn in microwave popcorn and why the potato explodes if you don't pierce it so that steam can escape. See similar questions...

What is a microwave?

Micro, means small or electro magnetic waves, and are a form of radiant energy. Microwaves are colorless, odorless and tasteless and cannot be seen by naked eye. Microwaves travel at the speed of light and have a frequency of 2450 MHz (for those used in microwave ovens). Microwaves vibrate with a frequency of 2450 MHz, i.e. 2450 million times per second. Microwaves have a special affinity towards water, sugar and fat. See similar questions...
