Microwaves
Microwaves use electromagnetic waves to heat food. When the waves are absorbed by water, fats or sugars, they‘re converted directly into atomic motion – or heat. Unlike conventional ovens, in which heat is conducted from the outside of the food towards the centre, the microwave‘s radio waves target the water and fat molecules evenly, throughout the food.
