HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are energy waves, similar to those
used for TV and radio signals.
used for TV and radio signals.
Electrical energy is converted into microwave
energy, which is directed into the oven cavity via a
waveguide. To prevent food and grease entering
the wave guide it is protected by the waveguide
cover.

Microwaves cannot pass through metal, because of
this the oven cavity is made of metal and there is a
fine metal mesh on the door.
During cooking the microwaves bounce off the
sides of the oven cavity at random.

Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves
which cause them to vibrate. This creates heat by
friction, in the same way your hands get warm
when you rub them together.

The outer areas of the food are heated by the microwave
energy, then the heat moves to the centre by conduction,
as it does in conventional cooking. It is important to turn,
rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating.
