Description Of Your Oven - Zanussi ZKC38310 XK Mode D'emploi

Inside the oven the microwaves propagate
in all directions and are reflected by the
metal walls, uniformly penetrating the food.
Why food heats up
Most foods contain water and water
molecules vibrate when subjected to
microwaves.
The friction between molecules produces
heat which raises the temperature of the
food, defrosting it, cooking it or keeping it
hot.
Since the heat arises inside the food:
This can be cooked with little or no
liquid or fats/oils;
defrosting, heating or cooking in a
microwave oven is quicker than in a
conventional oven;
The vitamins, minerals and nutritional
substances in the food are conserved;
The natural colour and aroma of the
food are unchanged.

Microwaves pass through china, glass,
cardboard or plastic but do not go through
metal. For this reason, metal containers or
ones with metal parts must not be used in a
microwave oven.
Microwaves are reflected by metal...
... but go through glass and china...
... and are absorbed by foods.
