Microwave Oven a.k.a. simply Microwave is a kitchen appliance that lets you heat and cook food by exposing it to microwave radiation. Some people are skeptic about using microwaves since there is a lot of mystery in the minds of common people regarding microwave energy but actually it is no different than any other energy used for cooking. Microwaves are converted to heat the moment they are absorbed by the food.
Microwave ovens heat foods quickly and efficiently because excitation is fairly uniform in the outer 1-1.5 inches of a homogeneous, high water content food item. Water molecules absorb microwaves fairly well, sugar and fat are better while salt beats all of these when it comes to absorbing microwaves. Due to this variation in rate of absorbing microwaves among different food items, the cooking time of each item may vary significantly with respect to other items. Hence, it is strongly recommended to follow the cooking time and other instructions mentioned in microwave recipes as they have been tested by experts on a microwave oven.
