molecules in the food, all 
foods contain water to a more 
or lesser extent.
The microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate 
which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks 
the food. Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar 
particles, and foods high in these will cook more quickly. 
Microwaves can only penetrate to a depth of 1½ - 2 
inches(4-5cm) and as heat spreads through the food by 
conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food cooks 
from the outside inwards.
MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES
Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in 
World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources. 
Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.
CONVERSION CHARTS
HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD
In a microwave oven, 
electricity is converted 
into microwave by the 
MAGNETRON.
The microwaves bounce 
off the metal walls and 
the metal door screen.
