MICROWAVING
Introduction: Microwave energy causes the
particles in food to vibrate. This results in the food
being heated up due to the friction, in the same way
your hands get warm when you rub them together.
Introduction: Microwave energy causes the

Outer areas of food are heated by microwave
energy, and remaining portions by conduction. It is,
therefore, important to turn, rearrange or stir food
to ensure even heating. Where recommended, allow
energy, and remaining portions by conduction. It is,
therefore, important to turn, rearrange or stir food
to ensure even heating. Where recommended, allow
food to stand, this is not optional but necessary to
ensure thorough cooking and is particularly important
for dense food, such as joints of meat.
Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and
utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.
Microwaves are reflected by metal. The oven is lined
with metal and has a fine metallic mesh in the door to
prevent microwave leakage. Metallic dishes are not
suitable for microwaving. (Refer to suitable cookware
