HEATING CATEGORY
The heating category (a letter A to E) developed
by MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries
and Food) with microwave oven and food
manufacturers indicates the ability of the oven
to heat small quantities of food (up to 500g
[1lb 2oz]). It does not represent the general
performance of the oven.
HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are energy waves, similar to those
used for TV and radio signals.
Electrical energy is converted into microwave
energy, which is directed into the oven cavity via
a waveguide. To prevent food and grease entering
the wave guide it is protected by the waveguide
cover.
Microwaves cannot pass through metal, because
of this the oven cavity is made of metal and there
is a fine metal mesh on the door.
During cooking the microwaves bounce off the
sides of the oven cavity at random.
Microwaves will pass through certain materials,
such as glass and plastic, to heat the food.
(See ‘Suitable Cookware’ on page 28).
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves
which cause them to vibrate. This creates heat
by friction, in the same way your hands get warm
when you rub them together.
The outer areas of the food are heated by the
microwave energy, then the heat moves to the
centre by conduction, as it does in conventional
cooking. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir
food to ensure even heating.
Once cooking is complete, the oven automatically
stops producing microwaves.
Standing time is necessary after cooking, as it
enables the heat to disperse equally throughout
the food.
