Is it harmful to eat food cooked in a microwave oven?

microwaving baby formula, although babies find the taste more appetizing, is a personal choice. there have been studies that say babies can die at an earlier age from microwaving baby formula. it is much healthier for healing power in a young child to microwave it. so you choose whether you want a healthy baby, but one that will most likely die early or an unhealthy baby, who will most likely live a long life, unless he needs healing power, and has very little, it is a hard and sometimes regretful decision, but its one that every mother needs to make.

When you use a microwave oven to increase the temperature of a cup of hot chocolate which type of heat transfer is taking place?

When you use a microwave oven to heat a cup of hot chocolate, the primary type of heat transfer taking place is radiation. Microwaves emit electromagnetic waves that excite water molecules in the hot chocolate, causing them to vibrate and generate heat. This process heats the liquid evenly and effectively, allowing the temperature to rise. Conduction also occurs as the hot chocolate transfers heat to the cup, but radiation is the main mechanism in this context.

What is sensor cooking in microwave?

The general meaning of "sensor cooking" usually involves using a microwave compatible temperature probe to cook with. Some microwaves have a thermocouple temperature probe that can be plugged into a jack in the cavity of the oven. This (temperature) sensor can tell the control unit in the microwave when the internal temperature of the food item has reached a preset point. Only the factory sensor should be used with a given oven to avoid problems. There are some generic replacements are available and they will work properly and safely if they are the "correct" ones. Consult a microwave technical expert for advice.

Microwave pre-cooked ham?

Slice it first. Then arrange slices on a microwavable plate and lay out the slices in a lengthwise circle. Leave the center empty. That is how microwaves cook.

Add layers on top of each other until you have the amount you want to heat. Cover it with another microwavable plate. Wax paper, plastic wrap, paper towel, kitchen napkins. It will heat much better if you use glass on top and bottom. Or two plates.

Try a couple of minutes. Test. You will begin to realize it will only take about five minutes.

NOTE*** MEAT of ANY TYPE will always turn out better using glass cookware with a top and bottom that keeps moisture in.

How can you tell if dishes are microwave or oven safe?

ans2. No is the short answer, for they are two different challenges.

Dishwasher detergents are quite aggressive, and will remove decorative metal plating (gold, silver, platinum) from objects. Strong phosphates are common in these detergents - they are very different from 'kitchen sink' detergents.

Microwave heating on the other hand could seriously deform some plastics, and the microwave environment does not take kindly to metal in the oven. Some sugars and fats also have problems.

However, if in doubt, see a doctor.

How dangerous are microwaves?

For emissions over 30W: wear protective clothing at all times and keep exposure time to a minimum.

5-30W: Wear protective gear over prolonged exposures (>10mins).

<5W: Generally none but wear protective gear if exposure is likely to be >1hr.

Generally avoid if possible.

How does the microwave turntable work?

Because their surface has been compromised. For example, stoneware is microwave safe, but once it has a chip or crack in the glaze, it begins to absorb rather than deflect the heat.

If you are not sure if something is microwave safe, place a glass of water in the microwave next to the plate, without touching. Turn the microwave on high for one minute. The water should be warm and the plate should be cool.

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.
