What energy transformation occurs in an oven?

The electricity (electromagnetic energy) that drives the microwave oven is routed to the magnetron, which generates the microwave energy. (The electricity and microwave energy are both forms of electromagnetic energy.) The microwaves travel through a waveguide into the cavity (the cooking space) in the oven, and used to excite chemical bonds in the food items. This is a conversion of microwave energy (electromagnetic energy) into the mechanical energy of heat.
