PRODUCTION DESCRIPTION
EXPLANATION OF MICROWAVE COOKING
The Sharp Microwave Oven uses microwave energy to
produce heat in the food to be cooked. Unlike con-
ventional ovens microwave energy will cook foods
without applying external heat.
Microwaves, which are short electromagnetic waves
of RF (radio frequency) energy, pass through materials
such as glass, paper, china and most plastics. Materi-
als such as metal and aluminum foil tend to reflect
microwaves and may be used only as recommended in
the cooking instructions.
Materials with a high
moisture content, like most foods, will absorb micro-
wave energy. As the microwave energy at a frequency
of 2450 Megahertz enters the food, the molecules align
themselves with the energy. Because the microwaves
are changing polarity every half cycle, the food mole-
cules are changing direction every half cycle or oscil-
lating back and forth 4,900,000,000 times per second.
This high speed oscillation causes friction between the
molecules, thereby converting the microwave energy
to heat.
