Calling microwave ovens a revolutionary cooking device would not be an exaggeration. These devices have changed the way a modern kitchen works, not to mention how they’ve also improved its appearance. Today it is difficult to imagine a modern kitchen without a microwave oven. Whether it is a house, a restaurant, a vendor, a hotel or any type of kitchen, if this device does not mark it, it seems incomplete.

There is a saying that “microwave cooking equals safe and healthy cooking.” Microwave cooking does not compromise the quality of the food. In fact, the good vitamins, bacteria, etc. present in food sometimes die from the high temperature to which they are exposed through the gas flame. Whereas, in microwave oven cooking, there is even heating and therefore many nutrients are preserved for this reason.

In these ovens there is an electronic device known as a magnetron that produces microwaves with a frequency of around 2,450 MHz. Now, according to heat waves, this frequency is perfect for cooking. This is what is called harnessing energy effectively for useful purposes.

These microwaves, which are produced by the magnetron, then pass into the metal oven cavity where they are further reflected around the oven walls evenly. The food absorbs these reflected waves, so it heats evenly.

One can easily defrost, heat or cook with these ovens. Self-timer, grill cooking, etc. all these accessories and functionalities make the art of cooking easier and more enjoyable.

Today, we cannot imagine our life without these ovens. They have made cooking time shorter, life easier, and cooking more efficient. However, for some strange reason, this great technological gadget is restricted to very limited activities in our kitchen. We usually use it for heating purposes only. It has become more of a support system for our actual culinary activities in the kitchen. Like the actual flavor-enhancing steps like sautéing, caramelizing, frying, etc. it can only happen on a gas flame; Therefore, microwave cooking is more of a support for the main preparation of food.

Using microwave ovens just for heating or support activities doesn’t detract from this great technological cooking appliance. For this very reason, many oven retail brands actually offer cooking classes for their customers to educate them on how to get the most out of their oven.

Today we all depend on these ovens for perfectly popped popcorn. In fact, many don’t even remember how we made popcorn before the microwave oven came along. Similarly, one needs to constantly experiment, explore more and learn how to use microwave ovens in a better way.
