A microwave oven, often called simply a microwave, is a compact electric cooking appliance that heats and cooks food using electromagnetic waves in the microwave frequency range. These waves excite water and other polar molecules in food, generating heat within the food rather than just at its surface. How a microwave works Microwave ovens generate microwaves using a component called a magnetron, which converts high‑voltage electrical energy into high‑frequency electromagnetic waves. These waves travel through a waveguide into the metal cooking cavity, where they bounce around and penetrate the food. Water, fats and sugars absorb this energy, causing their molecules…
