What is a microwave?

A microwave is a common kitchen appliance chiefly used for the heating and cooking of food. It works by directing electromagnetic radiation at the food item, causing water molecules within to vibrate and rotate. This movement causes a build up of heat, which is transferred to other nearby molecules, thus heating up and cooking the food. As the majority of different food types contain a fairly uniform and well distributed quantity of water molecules, microwave ovens are a very effective method of heating, cooking and defrosting.

Modern microwaves are available in three main types; a solo microwave oven which provides the basic microwave function, a grill microwave oven which provides the addition of an electric grill facility, and a combination model which typically also provides a convection oven feature for baking.

All three groups tend to include the same core features, such as timer, a selection of different power settings ranging from defrost to high, a built in child lock and are available in a range of colours, power outputs (measured in watts) and capacities (measured in cubic litres).

Popular manufacturers of microwave ovens include Bosch, Daewoo, De'longhi, Fagor, Hinari, Igenix, Panasonic, Russell Hobbs, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, Wellco and Whirlpool.
