Cooking with microwaves has
several advantages*, but the most
important is speed. It saves cooking
time, clean-up time and
allows you to cook frozen food in
record time.
In addition, it is convenient to
use and can contribute
significantly to saving energy. It
is especially helpful in cooking individual
foods.
If you are planning to buy a
microwave oven, these are some
basic facts that you should know.
Microwave cooking is a matter
of heat transfer from the source
to the food. There are three
methods of transfer: Conduc
uon, convection and radiation.
Conduction is direct transfer
from one surface to another, as
from cooktop to utensil to food.
Convection is the conventional
ovenWiethod where heated air
surrounds and cooks the food.
Radiation is the process of emitting
radiant energy in waves. It is
v this method that is used in
microwave cooking. The waves $
travel at the speed of light carrying
bundles of energy called pro- >
tons which vibrate at various frequencies.
There are two basic types of
radiation, one producing heat
when present in sufficient quantity,
the other causing chemical
changes without heat.
Microwaves, along with radio,
light and infrared rays, are of the
first type. The second group
which is not related to microwave
cooking includes x-rays, gamma,
cosmic and ultraviolet rays.
Microwaves traveling inl
straight lines are reflected by
metals, absorbed by food and
have no effect on glass, paper, air
and some plastics, passing right
through them. When microwave
energy penetrates food, the food
molecules vibrate millions of
times per second, creating friction
and heat. This heat is conducted
through the food to cook
it.
You may have heard that food
does not brown when cooked
with microwaves. Some food
does not, but meat with a fair
amount of surface fat that cooks
more than eight to 10 minutes
will brown. Many microwave
ovens have a browning coil that
will do the job and almost every
manufacturer offers a browning
dish. The browning dish is a
specially-made utensil that absorbs
microwaves when
preheated prior to olacine food in
it.
All ovens must meet government
standards concerning
leakage, door interlocks, switches
that turn the oven off when the
doorHs opened artd^other-safety?
devices.
Some ovens have an electric
coil for brow ning foods that cook
too quickly or have too little surDon't
use an extension cord
with an air conditioner. The extension
cord will lower the
voltage to the unit.
