No. Microwaves (not microwave ovens, the actual waves) penetrate the surface of food easily. They heat the inside of your food at the same time as the outside. Compared to a conventional oven, which heat from the outside in, microwaves are much faster.

Another Opinion:

Effectively Microwave Radiation does Heat the interior of an Object First and Hotter than the outside. I once overcooked Cookies in a M.W. Oven. They were burned to a CHAR inside but looked fine on the outside.

Likewise, if you walked in front of a RADAR Antenna (Microwave Source), you could FRY your internal organs yet look ok on the outside.

Certainly microwaving food affects it. The effect is an increase in temperature of any part of the food that contains water.

A microwave oven is 70 percent efficient if it is supplied with 4000 jouls of electrical energy how much heat is used to actually cooked the food?

A microwave oven does not use heat to cook food like a conventional oven, instead it uses microwaves to cook the food. The microwaves produce the heat inside the food, thereby cooking the food from the inside out.

Can microwaves in a microwave oven pass through a material?

Yes, microwaves inside of a microwave oven do indeed pass through a material - for example - a glass casserole dish or other cooking vessel - to reach the food inside the vessel to begin the cooking process. The microwaves also pass through paper, plastic and similar materials - that is why one can cook with such materials in a microwave oven. Microwaves however do not pass through metal objects, but rather often cause arching in a microwave oven, and thus can not be used in a microwave oven. Properly working microwave ovens do not allow the microwaves to pass from inside the oven to the outside world.


What does it mean when a microwave oven uses convection microwaves?

A convection microwave uses both microwaves and convection heating to cook the food. The convection cooking allows the food to be browned and cooks the outer part of the food while the microwaves cook the interior of the food.


Explain how microwaves generate heat to cook food?

The microwaves cause vibrations in the moisture molecules in the food and the friction causes heat. In this way microwaves cause food to cook from the inside out and is why it does not create browning on the outside.
