PRODUCT 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.
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-
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
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.
