Is cast iron microwave safe for cooking?
No, it is not safe to use cast iron in the microwave for cooking. Cast iron can damage the microwave and cause sparks or fires. It is best to use microwave-safe cookware for cooking in the microwave.
What is the difference between microwave cooking and infa-red cooking?
A microwave uses radiation to cause friction in food, causing it to heat up or cook in a microwave. Infared cooking inserts heat at the core of a food and cooks it inside out.
Can you put microwave popcorn in the oven for a different cooking method?
No, it is not recommended to put microwave popcorn in the oven as it is specifically designed for microwave cooking. Using the oven may result in uneven cooking and potentially cause a fire hazard.
Is cooking a jacket potato in a microwave conduction convection or radiation?
Cooking a jacket potato in a microwave involves radiation. The microwave emits electromagnetic waves that cause water molecules in the potato to vibrate, generating heat and cooking the potato from the inside out.
Can you put a cast iron skillet in the microwave for cooking or heating food?
No, you should not put a cast iron skillet in the microwave for cooking or heating food. Cast iron can damage the microwave and cause a fire hazard. It is not safe to use in the microwave.
How do you reheat salmon on the stove-top?

What are the differences of cooking with microwaves and IR?
A microwave uses radiation to cause friction in food, causing it to heat up or cook in a microwave. Infared cooking inserts heat at the core of a food and cooks it inside out.
What method of heat transfer is used when cooking a baked potato in the microwave?
The main method of heat transfer used when cooking a baked potato in the microwave is radiation. Microwave ovens work by emitting electromagnetic waves that cause water molecules in the food to vibrate, generating heat and cooking the potato from the inside out.
What thermometer do you use when cooking candy in a microwave?
Well a thermometer can't measure the temperature in a microwave because microwaves are not actually heat producing. The microwaves cause friction in the water contained in a substance causing heat to form "cooking the substance". It is not very safe to stick a mercury thermometer in the microwave or anything metal containing. All together I do not recommend sticking candy in a microwave.
What does a microwave oven convert electrical energy into?
A microwave oven converts electrical energy into electromagnetic radiation in the form of microwaves. These microwaves cause water molecules in food to vibrate rapidly, generating heat and cooking the food.
What happens if you cook a compact disc briefly in a microwave oven?
Cooking a compact disc in a microwave oven can cause it to burn, warp, and release toxic fumes due to the materials it's made of. This can damage the CD and potentially harm the microwave too. It's not recommended to put any type of disc in a microwave.
What is a microwave and how does it work?
A microwave is a kitchen appliance that uses electromagnetic radiation to heat food quickly and efficiently. It works by emitting microwaves that cause water molecules in the food to vibrate, generating heat and cooking the food from the inside out.
