MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF A MICROWAVE OVEN
The operating principle of a microwave oven is the use of magnetic waves to cook food.
The heart of the technology is a device that can generate electromagnetic waves that led into the microwave
oven heats the water molecules into the food. Water molecules are agitated and produce heat that spreads uni-
formly reaching the deeper layers of the food.
Food cooks more quickly and evenly when the water content is more important. Indeed for example vegetables
need only few minutes, depending on the quantity, precisely because of the quantity of water.
Compared to traditional cooking methods, which can burn more easily foods, with the microwave oven that does
not occur, if the advice on cooking times are applied.
The main advantages of microwave ovens are a part of the reduced cooking time compared to traditional co-
oking, with a significant energy saving. Exposure of food at high temperatures is limited, for a better nutritional
properties.
The microwave oven is also very useful to defrost and reheat food.
Cooking in a microwave oven is safe, does not produce permanent changes in the molecular structure of foods.
The downside of cooking in the microwave is the difficulty of assaying the exact cooking time for each food.
Food
Few foods are not suitable for cooking in microwave oven as the eggs that could explode, while foods with a skin
(such as apples, pears, sausages, etc..) must be punched before cooking.
The closed bottles should not be reheated in the microwave oven, alcohols are potential sources of fire.
Containers
Electromagnetic waves are repelled by metals, not suitable for use in microwave oven. Even if the crystal con-
tains some lead, plastic contains melanin, trays and aluminum foil are not suitable. Glass, terra cotta, paper
are suitable if they were studied for cooking into microwave oven (they are engraved on the bottom or on the
package suitable for cooking in microwave oven) .
Porcelain and ceramics that have metal edging or gilt edges are excluded.
It is advisable to use oval containers without corners or edges, the bottles should not be put in the microwave
oven with the plastic parts.
Use when reheating to cover food and absorb any fat. Use only for short
cooking times and under constant.
Only if the plastic is suitable for cooking into the microwave. Follow the in-
structions of the manufacturer. Should be stamped with the mark for use in
microwave oven. Some plastic containers are deformed when the food pla-
ced inside heat. Bags for cooking and sealed plastic bag should be punched
as indicated on the package.
Only the one suitable for cooking in microwave oven. Use to cover food du-
ring cooking and maintain moisture. Make sure the plastic wrap does not
come into contact with food.
