What else can I help you with?
What are some everyday objects that use microwaves other than a microwave oven?
Cell phones use microwaves, and so does Wi-Fi network gear.
What produces microwaves in a microwave oven?
Microwaves in a microwave oven are produced by a component called a magnetron, which converts electrical energy into electromagnetic waves that heat up food.
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.
Can I use aluminium dishes in microwave oven?
No, it is not safe to use aluminum dishes in a microwave oven. Aluminum can reflect the microwaves and cause sparks, potentially damaging the oven or even causing a fire. It is recommended to use microwave-safe materials such as glass or ceramic.
What are good brands and sizes for oven microwaves?
Panasonic, Sharp and GE are among top rated brands. Yes, size does matter depending on how you will use the oven and what types of foods will be cooked.
Explain the use of the turntable in a microwave oven?
A turntable in a microwave oven rotates the food being warmed or cooked, with evenness of heating being the aim. A microwave oven is a sealed box, a Faraday cage, into which microwaves--nonionizing radiation of about 2.45 GHz frequency--are injected. The microwaves are generated by a magnetron and fed into the box at only one point via a waveguide. So better ovens will use a microwave stirrer, a turntable, or both to help the microwaves more evenly reach the food.
How can you use the word 'convection' in a sentence?
Who uses gas stoves now? We have convection microwaves!
What uses microwaves for cooking food quickly and efficiently?
A microwave oven uses microwaves to cook food quickly and efficiently.
What type of energy does a microwave oven give off?
A microwave oven gives off electromagnetic radiation in the form of microwaves. These microwaves are used to heat and cook food quickly and efficiently.
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.
What kind of rays does a microwave use?
Microwave oven is used to create microwave radiation of suitable freq....
Does food in a microwave oven absorb microwaves?
Yes, items in a microwave oven can be said to absorb microwaves. The microwave energy causes what is called dielectric heating, and this activity takes energy from the microwave beam.
