How does a Microwave Oven work?

A Microwave is aptly named for the technology which operates it: microwaves. The Microwave converts incoming electricity into high frequency microwaves, a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which makes molecules within everyday foods vibrate rapidly, creating friction which then produces heat which cooks the food. The actual microwaves contain no color, odor, taste, and are not radioactive.

Microwaves are quicker for most cooking jobs because the energy heats the food and not the oven or the containers. They also won’t cause exces heat in the kitchen like other cooking appliances, especially in the summer time.

Microwaves are completely safe as all of the heating energy is contained within the box and used efficiently to cook your food.
