MICROWAVE OVENS | Top

MICROWAVE OVENS cook, thaw and re-heat food quickly. Thye use high frequency elctronic waves, similar to radio waves. The waves penetrate the food, causing the molecules to vibrate; the vibration genertes heat, up to a depth of 1½ inches, all round. Some models have a sensor to detect when the food is cooked. Combining convection and microwave cooking delivers microwave speed together with the toasted look of conventional cooking.
