Video Overview: Microwave Innovations

  1. Microwave Use in Kitchens
    • Microwaves are the most used technology product in kitchen. Microwave rays electrically propel and rotate water particles to cook food and the friction of this movement creates the heat that 'microwaves' your food.
    • Microwave technology use is frequent, though fairly unnoticed, requiring that microwaves be ergonomic in placement. Ergonomic microwaves utilize technology to give you maximum space within a minimal kitchen area.
  1. Microwave Convection Technology
    • Convection microwave technology speeds up the cooking process.
    • Microwaves utilizing convection technology save energy, as microwaves don't need to heat or use the power of conventional ovens.
  1. Speed Cooker Microwave Technology
    • Speed cooker microwave ovens use technology to heat food 6 - 10 times faster. One example is the induction cooker, a microwave technology that generates a magnetic wave on the cooking surface.
    • While speed cooker microwave technology is faster than convection microwave technology, future models will involve other secondary heat sources - such as an ultraviolet lamp.
  1. Other Important Microwave Technology Information
    • Microwave ventilation is important for cleanliness. Modern microwave technology incorporates adequate ventilation to prevent fire hazards and mess in the kitchen.
    • Microwaves, while the technology is safe, may unevenly heat food and cooking with them should involve arranging food in the microwave to prevent this. The defrost button on your microwave is there to prevent this from happening with frozen foods by pulsing it with micro waves.
