How Microwave Cooking Works

by

Marshall Brain

The microwave oven is one of the great inventions of the 20th century - millions of homes in America
have one. Microwave ovens are popular because they cook food incredibly quickly. They are also
extremely efficient in their use of electricity because a microwave oven heats

only

the food - nothing

else.

A microwave oven uses

microwaves

to heat food. Microwaves are

radio waves

. In the case of

microwave ovens, the commonly used radio wave frequency is roughly 2,500 megahertz (2.5
gigahertz). Radio waves in this frequency range have an interesting property: they are absorbed by
water, fats and sugars. When they are absorbed they are converted directly into atomic motion - heat.
Microwaves in this frequency range have another interesting property: they are not absorbed by most
plastics, glass or ceramics. Metal reflects microwaves, which is why metal pans do not work well in a
microwave oven.

How Microwave Ovens Cook Food

You often hear that microwave ovens cook food "From the inside out." What does that mean? Here's
an explanation to help make sense of microwave cooking.

Let's say you want to bake a cake in a conventional oven. Normally you would bake a cake at 350
degrees F or so, but let's say you accidentally set the oven at 600 degrees instead of 350. What is
going to happen is that the outside of the cake will burn before the inside even gets warm. In a
conventional oven, the heat has to migrate (by conduction) from the outside of the food toward the
middle (See the HSW article entitled

How a Thermos Works

for a good explanation of conduction and

other heat transfer processes). You also have dry, hot air on the outside of the food evaporating
