•HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS
The microwaves used for cooking are electromagnetic
waves. They are commonly found in our environment in the
form of radio waves, light and infrared rays.
Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:
• They are reflected by metals.
• They travel through all other materials.
• They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves its molecules begin
moving rapidly, causing it to heat up.
The penetration depth of waves into the food is approxima-
tely 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker, the centre of the food will
be cooked by conduction, as in conventional cooking.
Note that microwaves cause a simple thermal phenome-
non within food and are not harmful to health.
