DEMYSTIFYING THE MICROWAVE
• Microwave ovens are powered by a magnetron, which creates electromagnetic waves called microwaves.
• Microwaves vibrate the sugar, fat and water molecules in food, creating friction that raises their temperature (like when you rub your hands together to warm them).
As a consequence, the more fat and sugar in your recipe and less food or moisture in your container, the greater your risk of burning your food and damaging your container.
Keep the nutrients and vitamins
Most foods cook covered, no splash, no oven to clean
• The heat is produced inside the food, and the microwave itself remains cool, making it one of the safest kitchen appliances. • Microwave ovens vary in power and location of the magnetron, which alters cooking times.
• Every microwave oven has its own cooking pattern and some may have hot spots, meaning that some areas heat faster than others.
