Microwave ovens use microwave radiation to heat food through dielectric heating. Microwaves were discovered accidentally in the 1940s when an engineer noticed a chocolate bar melting in his pocket from radar waves. The first commercial microwave oven was introduced in 1954, costing $2000-$3000. It worked by passing 2.45 GHz microwaves through food, causing polar molecules like water to rotate and generate heat. Modern microwaves typically come in compact or built-in sizes and have components like a magnetron to generate microwaves and a cooking chamber. They provide quick cooking with less nutrient destruction compared to other heating methods.

kitchen appliance that cooks or heats food by dielectric heating. This is accomplished by using microwave radiation to heat water and other polarized molecules within the food. This excitation is fairly uniform, leading to food being adequately heated throughout (except in thick objects), a feature not seen in any other heating technique. Different Models of Microwaves History of Micro Wave Oven
Microwaves was discovered accidentally in
the 1940s by a self-taught engineer Named Percy Spencer. He was working on an active radar set when he noticed that a peanut chocolate bar he had in his pocket started to melt. The radar had melted his chocolate bar with microwaves. History
In 1947, the company built the Radarange,
the first microwave oven in the world. It was almost 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, weighed 750 pounds (340 kg) and cost about US$5,000 each. It consumed 3 kilowatts, An early commercial model introduced in 1954 consumed 1600 watts and sold for US$2,000 to US$3,000. Inventor the microwave oven
Dr. Percy Spencer
Working of Microwave Oven
A microwave oven works by passing non-
ionizing microwave radiation, usually at a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz (GHz) (a wavelength of 12.24 cm (4.82 in)), through the food. Microwave radiation is between common radio and infrared frequencies. Working
Water, fat, and other substances in the food
absorb energy from the microwaves in a process called dielectric heating. Many molecules (such as those of water) are electric dipoles, meaning that they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other, and therefore rotate as they try to align themselves with the alternating electric field of the microwaves. This molecular movement represents heat which is then dispersed as the rotating molecules hit other molecules and put them into motion. Different Parts of Microwave Oven
A microwave oven consists of:
1- A high voltage transformer, which passes energy to the magnetron 2- A cavity magnetron, which converts high-voltage electric energy to microwave radiation . 3- A magnetron control circuit (usually with a microcontroller) 3- A waveguide 4- A cooking chamber. Different Parts of Microwave Oven High voltage transformer, Magnetron Cavity Structure Types and Sizes of Micro wave
Consumer microwaves typically come in
two types 1- Compact Type Micro Wave. Compact Type Micro Wave comes in three Sizes a- Compact size Micro wave b- Medium size Micro wave c- Large size Micro wave 2- Built-in Type Micro Wave. ADVANTAGES
Cooking time is short
Destruction of nutrients is less No physical change of foods Melting process is easy Sterilization effect exists There is no flame, then treatment is easy. DISADVANTAGES
Constraint with metal container
Heat force control is difficult Water evaporation Closed container is dangerous because it could be burst Surface toasting is impossible CONCLUSION
Microwave oven is amazing household
appliance to heat up foods by using microwaves. This Microwave has frequency equals the resonance frequency of water. Therefore foods could be heat up by oscillation of water molecules. THE END
