Things like hot pockets and microwave pizzas use what is called a susceptor (usually in the form of a sleeve or container). These susceptors convert microwave energy into heat, which help crisp up food in the microwave, countering the effects of sogginess that is synonymous with microwave ovens.

What else can I help you with?
Is there UV in microwave ovens?
No, microwave ovens do not emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation. They use microwave radiation to heat and cook food by causing water molecules in the food to vibrate, generating heat. UV radiation is not involved in the operation of microwave ovens.
What keeps most nutrients in food-microwave or boil?
Microwave. Boiling food enables the nutrients to 'leech out' into the boiling water. Microwaving simply agitates the water molecules within the food.
Which element in the microwave heats the food and is it good for your health to eat food made in a microwave?
Microwave ovens have a "part" or device inside them called a magnetron. The magnetron is a microwave generator, and when we energize it, it generates electromagnetic waves at fairly high power (several hundred watts) and at a microwave frequency (about 2450 megaHertz). The non-ionizing electromagnetic waves or rays generated by the magnetron cause the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules to "vibrate" sympathetically with the microwave radiation. The result is that the water molecule is "given energy" by the microwave, and this energy is expressed as "vibration" of the water molecule. It is thermal, or heat energy, and the oven heats/cooks food by heating the water in the food using microwave electromagnetic energy. As stated, this radiation is non-ionizing radiation, and it will not "harm" the food, per se. Normally heated or cooked food that is put thorugh a microwave oven is safe to eat. You will not suffer any ill effects because of something the microwave oven did to the food item(s). Note that the oven can burn food, and burnt food has some toxins in it.
Can you put tin foil in the micerwave?
It is not recommended to put tin foil in the microwave as it can cause sparks and possibly damage the microwave. It is safer to use microwave-safe dishes and utensils when heating food in the microwave.
Do you have to cover food in a microwave oven?
Covering food in a microwave oven can help to prevent splattering and maintain moisture, which can result in more even heating and better-tasting food. However, it is not always necessary to cover food, especially if it is already moist or if you want it to crisp or brown.
Can you cook a pizza in the microwave?
Yes, you can cook a pizza in the microwave, but the crust may not be as crispy as when cooked in an oven.
Why does crispy food stay crispy only in air- tight containers?
Air from oil when you cook crispy food comes out of the food making it less crispy but when you put it in the air-tight containers , the air cannot escape so the crispy food remains crispy.
What are the advantages of using a microwave oven convection for cooking?
A microwave oven convection combines the speed of a microwave with the browning and crisping capabilities of a convection oven. This allows for faster cooking times, even heating, and the ability to achieve crispy textures on food.
Does microwave convection oven brown food?
Yes, a microwave convection oven can brown food. It combines microwave energy with convection heat, allowing for even cooking and browning. The convection fan circulates hot air around the food, promoting a crispy exterior and better texture compared to a standard microwave. This feature makes it suitable for baking and roasting, delivering results similar to a traditional oven.
What is a convection microwave and how does it differ from a regular microwave?
A convection microwave is a type of microwave oven that combines the quick cooking of microwaves with the browning and crisping capabilities of convection cooking. It differs from a regular microwave by having a built-in fan and heating element that circulate hot air around the food, allowing it to cook more evenly and quickly, as well as giving it a crispy texture.
Why the junk food is crispy after packing?
The junk food is crispy after packing because of airtight packing and it is not good for healthy.
Can you microwave a frozen pizza?
Yes, you can microwave a frozen pizza, but it may not turn out as crispy as when baked in an oven. Follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.
How can you get meatballs crispy in the microwave?
uhm im not really sure maybe put it in longer see if that works out for you
What uses microwave waves for cooking food?
A microwave oven uses microwave waves for cooking food.
Is the microwave safe plastic dinnerware suitable for heating food in the microwave?
Yes, microwave-safe plastic dinnerware is suitable for heating food in the microwave.
How does the microwave power affect the cooking time of food in a microwave oven?
The higher the microwave power, the shorter the cooking time of food in a microwave oven.
Is wood microwave safe for heating food?
No, wood is not microwave safe for heating food as it can catch fire or release harmful chemicals when exposed to microwave radiation. It is recommended to use microwave-safe containers or utensils for heating food in the microwave.
