Microwave Oven

Microwave Oven

1. Water Molecules

   • Friction between water molecules produce heat

2. Magnetron

   • Elecrtonic vaccuum tube
   • Produces small radiowaves

3. Waves travel through wave as a guide

   • Stirrer
     • Waves bounce until it reaches food
     • Fan like device
       • Scatter waves
   • rectangular metal tube

4. Convection Oven

   • Thermal Oven
   • You can place food on any of the racks
     • Heat circulates evenly
   • Use a shallow pan
     • Heat will hover over food
   • Use light bakeware
     • Darker bakewear causes burning
       • Top and bottom will not be even
         • Light color= more conductive flow of heat
   • Cooks faster
     • Heat causes hotter atmosphere
   • Has an additional fan
     • Distributes heat evenly
       • Heat exits through oven cavity
     • Located in the back of oven
   • Cooks Faster
     • High heat causes hotter atmosphere
   • Oven with additional fan
     • Distributes heat evenly
       • Heat exists through oven cavity
     • Located in back of oven
