Microwave cooking provides true innovation for the culinary arts. Combining rapidity and ease of use, it enhances flavours and aromas all the while keeping the appearance and nutritive qualities intact. Your microwave oven will complement your other kitchen appliances. It cooks, reheats and defrosts quick as a wink, affording you considerable time and energy savings. The microwaves used for cooking are electromagnetic waves. They exist in our environment as do radioelectric waves, light, and infrared rays.They are reflected by metals.They pass through all other materials. They are absorbed by water, sugar and fat molecules. When food is exposed to microwaves there follows a vibration of the molecules, which in turn produces heat. The depth of penetration of the waves into food is about 2.5 cm. If the food is thicker the centre is cooked by normal conduction of heat. It is worth noting that the microwaves produce a simple heat reaction inside food and are not at all harmful to your health. Due to the nature of microwave cooking, foods rich in water, sugar or fat require less cooktime and yield the best results.
