Microwave

Microwave

Magnetron- produces short radio waves called microwaves
Wave guide- rectangular metal tube, that leads to the stirrer
Stirrer- fan like, moves the waves on the inside of the microwave
Water Molecules- contained in most foods, have positive and negative charge at each end
Molecules are pulled one way then turned to the other, by a magnetic field created by the waves
back and forth motion between the molecules happends 2.5 billion times a second
Rapid vibration causes friction to heat the food
Acceptable dishes for the microwave are, paper,plastic,glass, and microwaveable dishes
Unacceptable dishes are, mental,silver, or gold dishes
Some foods should not be microwaved, examples: pancakes, eggs in shells, and canning foods
Microwaving foods is a lot faster way to heat things up
things to cover foods while microwaving are plastic paper, paper towels, or waxpapr
try to select foods the same sizes
prick some foods so the don't explode before putting in microwave
rotating- helps foods cook ore even
piece food so you don't get burnt
look for the hot steam after getting done to prevent burning
round containers will cook more evenly
foods in freezer will take longer to cook
Density will effect cooking time
